You've all seen these white bags in new shoe boxes. Yes, the same bags that are thrown away all at once. And, by the way, silica gel - as these granules are called - is very useful in everyday life.
Before you get started with how to use silica gel in the household, there is one more piece of advice you need to know.
Silica gel can be used for a very long time, because it is amenable to regeneration. To do this, put the bags in an oven preheated to 100 degrees for 1 hour. If you are not using the bags yet, put them in an airtight container to protect them from moisture.
