[@sonntagchavez6245]

Really works well for saving wet phone!!! Thank you for sharing and informing that there are food grade and for other products/devices. FYI my IPhone was 💯 back to normal after getting wet at beauty salon.

[@PamsPOV]

That awesome! Thanks for sharing!!

[@arthurking9571]

Pam your hair is BEAUTIFUL.

[@PamsPOV]

Thank you!

[@devereauxedelavante5726]

They're great for storing fine jewelry and silver/gold flatware, too! Helps to keep things from tarnishing. 💍 🍴 👍🏻 😉

[@PamsPOV]

Awesome

[@donnawheeler6283]

I keep a couple silica packs in my kitchen drawer with my can opener and other utensils that tend to rust because it's difficult to dry them thoroughly. It's saved me from replacing my can opener! I keep all the silica packs that come in my medicine bottles and use them in all kinds of ways. Thank you for your tips, and I'm enjoying this channel!

[@berolinastrassmann]

Great tip! My airpods were in a shirt pocket that went through the wash 😢. I put them in an air tight box with lots of silica gel packages for 24h. They are now working -and are super clean 😂

[@sherryojeda9178]

Someone else said fine jewelry, but I only have costume jewelry. Like $5 dollar pieces. I use them in there to keep the moisture away. It really works.

[@acarbino2548]

Thank you I’ve been saving them for years but I didn’t know they were for different items food grade or clothing I just thought they were all the same thank you for teaching me the difference

[@darrylcummings987]

Ms. Pam, Florida boy here, love you videos, please keep doing what you are doing!

[@ScottDMoore]

Found this...(Once saturated with water, the gel may be regenerated by heating it to 120 °C (248 °F) for 1-2 hours.) Thank you ma'am. Subbed on that one.

[@deniseblanchard2156]

Thanks

[@foxyloxy6670]

Thanks Pam! God bless you!! 🌹🌹🌹

[@mazie7952]

Amazing...wish I knew thiis long ago Ive thrown so many away over the years ☹️

[@PamsPOV]

I’ve threw many away too before I became aware some years ago. Thanks

[@tiphanieseantay958]

Right 😭

[@Es_Elle]

Ms. Pam is giving us so many great tips in rapid fire that she actually said "gellica sil packs" at one point! 😊

[@PamsPOV]

🤣🤣😂 I heard that after I uploaded. Congrats! I’ve been waiting in this comment. You were the first to say something lol. Thanks 😊

[@karenbenavente1124]

😄

[@Kristi7587]

I heard it too!!

[@marigail9234]

I never knew what I could do with these. Will save them from now on. Would be great in the medicine cabinet.

[@jgray5034]

Superb tips as usual. Thank you! 🎉

[@evabrent1096]

I love it. Thanks Pam❤ Eva

[@KoolVeg]

I just got a food saver and started putting bulk food into smaller bags. Next time I am going to use your advice and add the silica packs to make them last even longer. Thanks!

[@cynthiamac650]

I put a couple in each leather shoe so they don’t get moldy in high humidity area. Learned this from living in Louisiana. Now in Nebraska and still do this.

[@barbarawinter1861]

THANKS! YOU GIVE THE BEST TIPS. THANK YOU!I learn alot from you

[@marilynotte7059]

They can be refreshed by putting them in the dehydrator or oven on low temperature. Also, food grade and regular are the same, it's only depends on how they have been used previously. If they are brand new and never used before they can be used any where.

[@cindykongabel4038]

Always felt bad when I threw them out because I thought they had to be good for something - other than the package they came in. Now, I know. Thanks Pam!

[@christineheminger7762]

I just thought of an idea: I bought a large bag of baking soda and pour some into a smaller container when needed. It’s gone all clumpy-which makes pouring awkward. I can put a few packs in a net bag and put it in the soda bag. That should break up the clumps and make it easier to pour when necessary

[@Trekfanwanda]

Great tips

[@jacki-myoung1222]

I also use them in my suitcases & hand luggage’s and few of the ones you mentioned , especially handbags , shoes& slippers boxes not been worn on a regular basis. Thanks for all your suggestions . ❤📝

[@PamsPOV]

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@kristifinck5956]

I place them on window sill to prevent mildew, so far works great. I luv your tips!

[@honestly7393]

You could put them in sweaty sneakers once you have just come in from playing sports or for shoes that you were caught in the rain with. You cold also put them in the umbrella stand at the bottom even though you have let your umbrella dry out before you place it in the stand. The same goes for a sweaty or rained on hat.

[@PamsPOV]

Good ones!!!

[@Sheila-z6u]

Great tips!

[@kitt7477]

I have these rolled up in a large paper napkin with a bunch of washed & dried cilantro in my crisper.

[@PamsPOV]

Good one

[@nancynevels2238]

THANK YOU,VERY HELPFUL!!!!❤❤

[@gladtidings4all]

I buy them on Amazon and I keep them inside my herbs and spice bottle. In my flour, rice, pasta, sugar and salt.

[@gingersipes9609]

I better start saving these gel packs, I never knew there were so many uses or that you could reuse them. I'm so glad that I joined your channel. Thanks for the advice.

[@PamsPOV]

You are so welcome!

[@terebrown2892]

Thanks for this post. I've always saved them, but I don't have many, and you've mentioned a lot of good tips I hadn't heard of before. A friend of mine has an old car, the defroster runs hit or miss. I gave him a couple of socks filled with rice and tied in a knot to throw on the dash. Keeps the condensation down somewhat, but if a crowd gets in while the car is still cold and the moisture builds up fast you can use the socks to wipe down the windshield.

[@Kelly-t6t]

I use the food safe packets in my sugar and flour canisters. The sugar is crystallized coming out of the freezer and the packets take care of that problem for me. Great ideas Pam!

[@PamsPOV]

Awesome!! Adding that to my list!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@karenpowers2225]

Such useful ideas! Never knew there were all these great ways to reuse little silica packets! Thanks for giving us the details! 👍😊

[@PamsPOV]

You are so welcome!

[@Angie-q9w]

I never thought of them as useful thanks

[@grannyjanesfudge5519]

You are the only person to share this very needed information. Thank you so very much 🙏🏻

[@PamsPOV]

My pleasure 😊

[@tyrahoytt7264]

Thought I was the only one who save gel packs! Thanks for sharing. I look forward to the next video! Love the hair! 🙏🏾🙏🏾💐💐😍😍😎😎

[@WindWhspers]

They might would be great in an RV to help with the dampness. I just love all your tips, helpful hints and videos. I had to start saving them! 😄

[@PamsPOV]

Great idea!

[@lauramathys2131]

They are too small for a whole RV, but Amazon has a reusable/rechargable product called Eva Dry that I use in my RV. The silica packages would be useful for very small areas such as inside your shoes or inside the sugar container, etc.

[@Nellyeee9116]

Miss Pam, thank you again for educating me about so many things, and this one is awesome. With your tips (which are very practical) I learn something new whenever I look you up this channel. May God bless you.

[@lindahowe2293]

This is so helpful, Pam! Thanks! I am especially glad to know these are nontoxic. I always thought they were. I'll go back to saving them again. A Tip: I bet it would be a good way to dry flowers for crafting. (apologies if someone has already shared that one) Thanks again, Pam! 👍🥰

[@Dana-ny3fg]

I was told that you can reuse them. Place them on a cookie sheet on low heat for 20 minutes. I don’t really remember the temperature and how long, but you can check it out online!

[@PaulaZF]

I get a ton too. I put them in empty jars with the lid on (food grade course) that are in cupboards. Travel mugs on the shelf. And so on. Thank you!!

[@PamsPOV]

Great idea!

[@debbenzenberg3575]

I've been keeping these for years. They are just so handy to have around and I always get some in my medications and supplements. Great tips, Pam!

[@PamsPOV]

Awesome!!!

[@born4md]

Hi Pam. I am ordering food grade silica gel packs from Amazon because of you. I plan on using them for my swiss cheese that tends to gain moisture and eventually grow mold. I would store it in a ziploc bag and put paper towels in with it. But, still had some wetness, and eventual mold. I'm excited to try this out. Thank you so much for the idea! ❤

[@debragilbert1019]

Thank you for all this good info.

[@kennethstuckey7823]

Hi Miss Brilliance! This is an excellent suggestion/advice. Thank you for sharing it! I never knew Silica Gel Packs could do all of this, but now I know. I now wouldn't be surprised if they also can evaporate water out of a pool. 😂

[@PamsPOV]

Great idea!

[@karenkatmom3635]

Thank you!! I learned a lot! WAS saving these and didn't know why! THEN I cleaned out a drawer the other day + tossed them . . . soooooo angry with myself!

[@sashabell4700]

Don’t let the beads get loose on a wooden floor! Been there, one time you don’t want it to work. So if you buy loose silica beads be, know you might have a wet floor later if they end up on the floor. Razor tip, i need that one as i shave my neck area in between hair cuts. The razor can rust long before i want it to, even if i spray alcohol on it.

"gellica silpaks"(@3:40)?🤗 I looked through the Comments, to see if someone beat me to it and 'didn't see it (that doesn't mean it's not there). Now, 'not to be critical! . . . "Lord knows", your helpful hints + tricks videos are jam-packed with wordage -- my tongue would've been in knots, long ago!

Another thing that can help protect your pics is to put them in a properly made photo album I found that using photo albums also helps to preserve them
