Video: Unexpected uses of desiccant bags

We often have the habit of throwing away a desiccant bag when buying a new product, but it can help save if your item is accidentally wet or moldy.

Desiccant bags contain small spherical silicon dioxide particles.

Thereby, they help protect other objects from dampness and prevent mold growth.
