Unexpected uses of desiccant bags

We often have the habit of throwing away the desiccant bag when buying a new product, but it can be a lifesaver if your item accidentally gets wet or moldy.

According toIFL Science, desiccant bags contain small spherical silicon dioxide particles, which can absorb moisture from the surrounding environment by allowing water molecules to adhere to their surface during the absorption process. Thereby, they help protect other objects from moisture and prevent mold growth.

Some uses for silica gel packs include preventing mold in your gym bag, saving your wet phone, or placing them behind your car windshield to keep your mirrors from fogging up.
