I don’t throw away those silica packs, I keep them in my jewellery boxes that I have all of my sterling silver in, It stops the silver from tarnishing when you’re not wearing it. It works great!

When the Siliica Gel has been used and is damp, it can be revived by leaving it in a warm oven for half an hour. When not in use, store them in an airtight container.

Another helpful tip; don't throw away aluminum foil. Scrunch it up and sharpen your scissors garden shears etc. Works very well. But be sure to cut through several layers for maximum sharpness. Also works to clean garden tools.

May God bless whoever is having a hard time in life.🙏

Merry Christmas in Advance to anyone reading this. may you have a healthy and prosperous new year

Silica will help keep pictures safe for years .and you do need to heat them till they dry out .I put some in a old sock and put in the dryer on low .it works for me 👍

Glad today I have about 40 lbs of desiccant in ziplock bags. I had to dry out some firewood after a 12 hour rain. The house was sure cold after 3 days away and I forgot to bring dry wood in before I left.

I use the silica gel bags for homemade snow globes. Open them up..dump them in the water. They make awesome snow!!

This was the best Fact Verse installment yet! I am going to start with the the banana peels tomorrow, (only cause I know I tossed a few out yesterday morning), and then I am heading over to Jerry's to pick up an aloe vera plant. I already do save my silicon packets and I have another use for them. I am a watch wearer and a bit of a collector. I have a collection of my favorites which I have acquired over many years. Since I prefer wound and self-winding as opposed to battery operated I have a "winding box" that displays all of my windable ones. One of the few consistent issues there is with watches is the negative effects which moisture has on them. Everyone I know who has a collection has lamented as to how "water got in" and a prized item was ruined, in some cases beyond repair. Except (thankfully) me. The only reason I have not had an issue is because of those silly packets. My winding box as well as every individually boxed watch I have has at least one of those wonderful silicone packets in it. If I am storing anything from shoes to suits to larger items around the house (grandmom's dinner table she left you or even better some rugs you roll up for examples) including a few of those bags before you put all items away will give you a little more piece of mind and, unless ingested or set ablaze, can not hurt to include in one's storage. Use them often with everything you have. The worst thing that might happen is when you reach into a pocket of a jacket you were properly storing you will find a wee guard in the form of the packet of silicone who has been keeping watch over your goods while you were out.

When I collect flower seeds through the summer, after I dry seeds, to store I put a packet in seeds to maintain dryness til following year..I've done this for years..

1. I've been saving silica gel packets for a long, long time. I have a mesh bag full of them hanging in my gun safe. That's one place I really don't want excess moisture. If I get a packet that says moisture absorber, desiccant or anything else, but it doesn't say silica gel on it, I throw it away. I only keep the silica gel. 2. I throw banana peels, egg shells and all my other garbage, except meat and dairy, in my compost bin. My trash goes out to the curb every week but not my garbage. There IS a difference between them. When I had a dog, the dog poop went in the trash too. Even though I've gone several years without using any compost, the bin never fills up. And most weeks I only have one bag of trash to throw away, so I save money on trash bags whether I use the compost or not.

I keep silca packet in my tool box, Tackle box, In with my hot wheels and about anywhere else I can think to put them. My problem is that I never have enough of them.

I throw a few of those silica desiccant bags in each drawer of my tool boxes, and in electronic tool cases.

I have been saving them & using them for decades.

Of all the fruits in the entire planet, the humble and ordinary banana is my number 1 favorite. Coming from an ordinary, poor family, we had banana and papaya as our fruits all the year round, being handy as my father planted them all around our nipa and bamboo home together with moringa trees. Having been used to its taste, I learned to love them. When I left my country to work and practice my profession, I began to venture tasting other fruits and found them agreeable to my taste too but one incident at work left my dominant arm incapable of doing simple ordinary household chores. Living alone and on my own abroad, this led me to make smoothie instead of having some home-cooked stir-fry vegetables. I survived on my banana-honey-peanut butter-almond milk smoothie. From then on my favoritism towards banana had been concreted. Another thing: for me this is the most "sanitary" fruit. As long as the peel is still whole and not damaged, open or cut, even if transported to wherever it may go, it's still "sterile" inside and one can eat it without contaminating the fruit by touching it with one's fingers. Thank you, Lord for this sweet-smelling and sweet-tasting humble banana!

I come upon them frequently while working at a big box home improvement store where I work while putting out the packaging into the trash. I grab them up and put them into my food dehydrator during a run. Then, vacuum seal them in glass jars for later use. Great for adding to what ever I want to be safe from slight moisture exposure of my things while in storage until I use them. I retain the packets and reuse them over and over and over again.

Silica bags wear out, they can only absorb so much, when that happens you need to recharge them by heating them up to evaporate the water back out, you can do that in an oven.

it jumped from silica bags to aloe vera for you eyes I was so confused for a moment LOL LOL

I have a container that I keep all my silica gel packs. Whenever I buy a new pair of shoes, I add a bag in the toe of each shoe to keep them dry between wearings. I also keep a few in my gym bag for my "gym only" shoes and more to keep the moisture out. I also replace the packs once a week or so with fresh ones and allow the removed ones to dry until I use them again.

I have been saving the silica bags for yrs, they’re great to draw moisture from anything! It really does work! I keep them in a zip lock baggy...

Wow 😮 thakkkkkks Amazing 🤗God bless you 🙏❤️

I've always saved these to put inside my vintage Coach bags after restoration.

Amazing! Thanx!

I have been using them inside of my Truck. I appreciate them.

That was some. Of the BEST INFORMATION I have EVER gotten. THANKS

Silica bags do wonders when growing shrooms and drying them out

Would need way too many SiO2 bags to cover a phone. Burying it in rice for three days does the same job.

Thank you.. co'z we've learned a lot from those videos you've showed to us.. KEEP IT UP.. 👍👌

Don't drain your swimming pool... Just toss in a few silica packets!

YES!!! Silica packets are great to save: tool box, tackle box, travel shave kit/toiletries bag, fishing/hunting accessories, gun safe, ammo boxes.... Aloe: always have a plant in my home. Great for all types of burns. Cut a leaf and filet the skin off, then rub the inner ''meat'' on the burn, also insect/spider bites.

I"ve been saving those silica bags already for a long time, great for packing things long term, etc.

From silica gel packets to fruit peels, cool!

Happy happy Christmas in advance to who ever is reading my comment God bless you

Yeah! I do have those packages full of a case! They play good role in many things....!

I use them for all my vinyl record collection so they don't get moldy and warped while in the closet.

When he started talking about how to help your eyesight, I thought he was going to say put silica in your eyes 😆

this compost tea is delicious!

wow. this is very useful. thank you facts verse!

You can also use silica for drying out flowers.

Since I don't make many purchases, it may be a while collecting those packets. If you drop phone into water, try using rice to draw moisture out.

You can get silica gel in reusable containers. They come in metal round containers that have perforations that can be exposed or closed. The purpose of silica gel is to absorb water or moisture or humidity. When they fill with water they turn pink. Then you put them in an oven for a little while and they turn blue, ready to absorb again. I use to put camera lenses and bodies in vacuum sealed bags with each bag containing one silica container. This would protect the camera"s and lenses from mildew deterioration.

Some mighty fine looking plants in this video.

Love this 🥰 Thank you ❤️🙏🏾

Phone getting wet, as with any electrical/electronic device, immediately turn it off (removing power source is better, except many phone batteries can no longer be removed) then attempt the rice or silica bead attempt. you can tell if rice is still dry whereas silica bags (especially if in items from overseas, as they most likely have seen their fair share of humidity already) are cryptic in their condition.

Wow this is invaluable

Thank you, Who new, I WILL SHARE👍👍👍👍👍

Excelente advice.. thank you

I thought the video is all about silica gel bags. 😂👍😄 Nice, hahaha.

These descendants will absorb moisture in open air to a maximum capacity. You can dry them in the oven and reuse them effectively

I'm an antique book collector, but I live in a rainy state, until I can find a place that's drier, I keep my books in a container with a bunch of the silica packs.

Thank you for the idea

I throw them in my tool boxes and gun safe

I keep the gel packs out of my probiotic and keep a couple in my sugar container for my coffee. Have been doing this for three years, and never get lumps or clumps in my sugar.

THAT was definitely NOT a waste of ten mins! Thanx for your Wisdom

Gm edagdwg thanks for sharing this story of what happens when you use these things God bless you soooooo blessed to get gifts sooooo small Linda j peace

I have a literal metric butt ton of those silica gel packs. I use them to dry my work boots. Works great.

Silica packets in general contain silicon dioxide, which isn't toxic. It's chemically inert when ingested in this form and the reason the bags say DO NOT EAT is because people choke on them. Not because they're poison. I mean it's toxic if you inhale the stuff in a fine powder... The ones with indicating colors are toxic though. The indicating colors vary in toxicity, but you should be careful around those.

JUST LOVE THOSE COMMERCIAL BREAKS EVERY FEW MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love these videos very informative! I'm going to do all that was shown in this video for sure! Loved it!

I live at the coast, which means that I live in an extremely moist area, especially when combined with the subtropical area where I live. I also make jewelry and I NEVER EVER throw these packets away, as they are absolute life savers and jewelry savers, because they keep the moisture OUT of my jewelry that is ready to sell and out of my beads, gemstones, sterling silver and pearls. Over the years I have found so VERY many uses for the packets such as, put them in your sneakers directly after use, to remove moisture and to keep your tennies fresh smelling. The uses are endless, you need only to think of moisture and you find dozens of uses!

Nice ad 👌 ya know in the 90s living in a van meant you were homeless now its a adventure 🤔

Great tips. Thanks.

It is awesome to learn about why they don't throw sillica bags away

I regret throwing those things. I didn't realize it. Ooohh

At 6:06 he's talking about banana peels for fertilizer and he shows a marijuana field. LOVE IT. :-D

I remember my old car getting flooded and I was able to buy huge bags of silica gel desiccants for very cheap. They were like 3-4 lbs each! Sadly there was just too much water, but those bags were heavier than when I put them in!

Egg shells has calcium, but not bio-available. You need to first chelate it to use as a fertilizer - otherwise it is a soil additive that would need some essential soil bacteria to produce sulfuric acid to slowly decompose and become bio-available. Egg shell calcium can be chelated using vinegar - but needs to be properly diluted before use. It is very helpful for plants like tomatoes, but otherwise no need to supplement with Ca for all plants.

6:06 Those banana peels grew some pretty nice buds.

I literally just threw away one 😂

Many ladies I've known buy NEW wardrobes seasonally. They rarely "save" old garments because they want to be in synch with the current "fashion". They either discard or donate the "old" ones to needier women and girls.

Lovely, thank you 🙏

I use them to protect my audio gear!

Fact Verse goes off topic from those little bags to Alevera and banana peels

Now i have idea good tips thanks for the info.

This is revelations right here. cheers

Merry Christmas to all hope you all have a good Christmas 😊

Hey guys. We should use uncooked noodles for straws instead of metal or rubber ones. When you are done drinking with your noodle straw, you can throw it into the ocean, that way, the turtles can have something to eat. Seriously, dont actually do this please!

Thank you for sharing 🤗

Silicon can be used to set fresh flowers and keep them forever 🌻🌻🌻🌻

@6:06. Big ups for the hemp plantation-cannabis!

Damn now I know what to do with all these bags I saved for the pass 2 years I got like 100 bags but some some I broke down haha. Never thought I'd see a video for these

Awesome thank you

Nice one! :-) Thanks for the info.

When silica gel is saturated w/ water, you need to heat it up to regenerate its water absorption properties.

I put them the case with my personnel protection devices.

Wow I have really learnt something new. This video can be my learning course.

Thanks!

They can only absorb so much and generally do not last. There is a test for them but I dont know how.

Was that weed plants?! 😂😂

I keep them in my car and when my baby has an accident or a spill & I change their clothes. I drop them in a bag with them so they don’t mold before I get home because down here in Louisiana, ITS HOT AND HUMID. mold happens between the house and the grocery store🤷🏽‍♀️

Good info. Thanks!

The same thing can be done with rice ............and it won't harm you if consumed.

Wow didn't know that thanks for the information

I work at a retail and I'm definitely gonna keep those bags now

Once dessicants been absorbing moisture n water, We can squeeze water out then reuse it agin?. Thats wonderful! I love it!

These silica bags will have no effect unless they are first dehydrated in an oven and then placed in a sealed container with the object that you want to keep dry.

Strategically placed banana peels will attract those ants invading your home. They will crawl onto the peel and it can be picked up and discarded along with the ants.

Really informative,thanks

Silica gel packs are good in your jewelery box stops silver and gold tarnishing
