When we open up something new, such as a box of new shoes, we may always find the little bags of silica gel inside. They help to absorb excess moisture around and keep the items dry and damage free. We usually toss these bags away because we think they are useless. But it turns out there are many clever uses for silica gel around the house.

For example, you can use them to keep your car windows fog free and remove excess moisture from your camera lens. And if you ever drop your cell phone in water, you can try putting the phone in a container filled with silica gel packs and leave it overnight. Other uses include making razors last longer, keeping pet food fresh and preventing rust. Follow the video by AnswersVideo and learn all the clever uses for silica gel that you should know. Then next time when you find a silica gel pack, you can save it for so many alternative uses. Enjoy!
