Ai aruncat până acum o adevărată comoară. La ce folosesc, de fapt, pliculețele cu gel din cutiile de pantofi • Newsweek România

Silica gel packets, commonly found in shoe boxes, absorb moisture and can be repurposed in households. They help prevent unpleasant odors in sports bags and protect documents from humidity. Additionally, they can prevent rust on jewelry and tools by absorbing moisture in storage. Silica gel can be reused by drying it in an oven, but caution is needed with older packets that may contain toxic substances. The safer version changes color to indicate moisture absorption.
