Silica Gel Uses<br /><br />SUPPLIES<br />Silica gel packets (found in shoe boxes, electronics, and many Asian snack foods)<br /><br />INSTRUCTIONS<br />If your phone ever gets wet, place it in a plastic bag full of silica gel packets, and leave it overnight. The packets will dry out your phone better than rice, and increase the chances of saving your phone!<br />You can use the silica gel packets to de-clump salt, sugar, or any other ingredients that tend to clump up when moisture gets to them.<br />Tape a packet or two to the inside of bulk snacks. This will keep them from going stale longer.<br />Keep old photos and documents safe and dry in storage boxes by throwing in a couple silica gel packets.<br />Need to pack a damp swimsuit? Place it in a bag with a bunch of silica gel packets (the more the better!) and throw it in your bag. The water will be sapped right out. (This is also great in gym bags!)<br />Windshield fogging up? Save time by lining your dashboard with silica gel packets. The moisture will be whisked away. <br />To recharge your packets, place them in the oven at 275ºF/135ºC on an aluminum foil-lined baking tray for about an hour, or use a dehydrator if you have access to one! Enjoy these tips, and remember to dehydrate them again every few months. <br /><br />MUSIC<br />Street Gypsies<br />Licensed via Warner Chappell Production Music Inc.<br /><br />Made by BFMP www.buzzfeed.com/videoteam<br /><br /><br />GET MORE BUZZFEED:<br />www.buzzfeed.com<br />www.buzzfeed.com/video<br />www.buzzfeed.com/videoteam<br />www.youtube.com/buzzfeedvideo<br />www.youtube.com/buzzfeedyellow<br />www.youtube.com/buzzfeedblue<br />www.youtube.com/buzzfeedviolet<br />www.youtube.com/buzzfeed
