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]

Thank you! ❤I love how you explain, calm and clear! Not scream like other People doing commercials...( They thinking we are deaf)

She's your favorite Aunt you can call for recipes etc...

[@Flyonthewall101yes]

How long does they last

[@Davis-carmencita]

You are like a walking encyclopedia or dictionary because you always break things down to us when you're explaining it

[@PamsPOV]

Aaawwww thank you

[@Davis-carmencita]

@@PamsPOV you're welcome ❤️

[@jazzyjoyce421]

She's amazing 👏

[@tigerfreida9695]

You took the thought right out of my head😊

[@DaphneMontgomery-nb1fd]

From A To Z....

[@bgjblue]

I knew it...this is why I always feel a twinge of guilt whenever I throw these away! I've always felt like they could probably be used for SOMETHING!🤦‍♀ Ms. Pam, you've done it again! 🤩

[@chelabuford7106]

Me too!!!!! 😂😂😂 I bet you I will be saving them now!!!!!💯

[@lucienelson]

Meeeeee!!!😂

[@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!

[@saresapleasant1042]

Same here..

[@devereauxedelavante5726]

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

[@PamsPOV]

Awesome

[@ltgemini1599]

I do this with my diverse jewelry in a canning jar.

[@AlC-k2j]

Pam your hair is BEAUTIFUL.

[@PamsPOV]

Thank you!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 😂

[@Ysnuggle]

I wish I knew this tip before. My AirPod fell in the sink for a mere 10 seconds and I couldn’t use it to talk. Thanks, I will pass this on👍🏽

[@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.

[@Ellewatch-y3j]

Great advice! I’ll never throw out those little packs again.

[@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

[@CALredhead]

Yes!! AND you l can also put them in the microwave for short amounts of time & then seal them in airtight container until you're ready to use them again.

[@marshiahobson3727]

I have a small tub of silica packs that measure 3 x 4 and 3 x 6 that I’ve collected from computer equipment boxes. I was saving them to use in my crafts to make fabric phone stands and I was going to use them like beads to put in the bottom of the stand for weight and squish ability and put the poly stuffing in the top part of the phone stand. Any thoughts of why this may not be a good idea to open the packs and use them like stuffing beads? I searched a little to try to find out if it’s OK to use the beads outside of the packaging they come in, but didn’t really find what I was looking for.

[@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!

[@joy-boblindskog6798]

I just threw some out! Won't be doing that again. Thank you, Pam!

[@connieaye]

Me too 😂

[@SheIsFearfullyWonderfullyMade]

I know that’s right, me either!

[@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!

[@Flyonthewall101yes]

How long does they last

[@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 😭

[@debragilbert1019]

Ikr

[@barbarawinter1861]

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

[@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

[@bgjblue]

Oooooooo....awesome idea!!! Thx!

[@ChrisCooperXmarksthespot]

Then that would work with sugar, too, but it’s WAY better for health to substitute sugar with monkfruit powder.

[@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!

[@kristifinck5956]

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

[@starLaSane]

Thanks for the tip

[@gruv2nz]

You have taught me so many little tips & hacks already. Really liking your channel.

[@veronicasmith4680]

Glad i came across this, Pam. I usually try to save those packs but there’s not enough that I get and eventually they wind up in the trash. But you gave so many good pointers I will order them from Amazon. 💙👍

[@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!!!

[@kitt7477]

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

[@PamsPOV]

Good one

[@kristinamontes6092]

I just threw some away today. After seeing this, I took them out of the garbage. Luckily, I put them in the plastic bags the clothes came from, so they were clean. Never knew they were so useful.

[@SheilaTrinity]

I never knew this! I throw them all away. I thought they were toxic. Thank you for letting me know this. Your the BEST!

[@gladtidings4all]

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

[@sheilahdang11]

I just went on Amazon and put a 100 pack in my cart, thank you 💜

[@grannyjanesfudge5519]

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

[@PamsPOV]

My pleasure 😊

[@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!

[@margaretlion2073]

I save the small ones for my vanity makeup box etc and the bigger ones go in my craft supplies like silicone beads,clay beads, rubber bands,keychains and in each drawer of my cricut papers.

[@eugeniajones1895]

Have learned to keep mine. I use mine and I like the idea of putting them in a plastic bag for the different ones. I will do that. I usually get them in my food items.. Thanks for the information. Very good too know.

[@lauralovestheLORD181]

Thank you, Ms. Pam! ❤ I appreciate you! 👑

[@ipeefreely9865]

I always saved the silica packages that came in my handbags, backpacks, and wallets. I take medication that comes with silica and I've been saving those too. I need to put them all in a zip lock bag. It's so impressive how many ways you can use silica and the food grade versus none food grade. Thank you for sharing this informative video!!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@percisionshot4331]

They’re also great for ammo cans. I make my own silica bags using tea bags and a particular brand of silica cat litter.

[@rhondafountain648]

Thanks for your tips, always a wealth of knowledge. Be blessed

[@ElderSamuelLParkerJr]

Now that is definitely another great POV to remember! Thank you Lady Pam❤

[@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! ❤

[@amyhansen9932]

Thank you for this video I’ve learned alot. I personally use them in my purse when I stored my bags away .

[@robertaclemmons7999]

Love your Hair Mrs. Pam. Thank you for the video.

[@judithkcolbert8483]

Thank you, I have thrown away so many, never again.❤️❤️❤️

[@SaraYah33]

Thanks Pam, as usual very usual information have a bless evening.

[@michaelanowell551]

You are so awesome Pam! with so many great tips. Thank you so much!

[@saresapleasant1042]

I always wondered what to do with them!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@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!

[@avisjohnson6185]

This is utterly amazing!!! Bless you for sharing !!!

[@foxyloxy6670]

Thanks Pam! God bless you!! 🌹🌹🌹

[@clairemoore9012]

❤ awesome information, thank you so much for sharing 😊

[@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!

[@godivaferguson2802]

I was surprised Pam didn't mention shoes. I have ridiculously sweaty feet and always put them in my shoes and boots, keeps them dry and odor free.

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@marycronin6535]

That's the BEST tip ever. Thank you so much Pam ❤❤🍀🍀

[@sstanley4050]

Thanks for sharing! Important information.

[@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]

😂🤣 ok you go first! Let me know if it works lol. Thanks Kenneth!!! Lol

[@k.frandsen7004]

Pam so glad u have another channel! Wish u many subscribers and continued success. U r an inspiration with ur thoughts re God and gratitude.❤❤❤

[@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! 👍🥰

[@tyrahoytt7264]

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

[@juanitaowens6507]

Pam Pam you got 100 from me your info is always on point who knew Pam❤❤

[@vickiemartin1453]

Great ideas! I've put them inside windows on ledges where there's moisture to prevent mold. Especially in the bathroom where theres so much moisture. Anywhere you want to keep things dry- in your shoe boxes or inside bags. I've saved them for years. They can be used for so many things. Thku😊

[@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.

[@placeholder9455]

Pam, your POV tips are very interesting and helpful! You are a joy to watch and explain things clearly and easy to understand. Thank you for being so pleasant and informative!💙💙🙏

[@corrier5954]

Thank you, didn't know about food grade. I use them with crafting cardstock.

[@shaimesh1]

[@melissagennette4931]

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, I greatly appreciate you. You have such a kind way about you ,I enjoy watching your channel.

[@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.

[@barbjohnson6268]

Good one! I will keep those from now on. Thank you Pam. ❤

[@paradiseawaits821]

Wow, the tips! Some things I did know and some I didn't. I'm headed to Amazon. I can't believe years back, I use to throw those away. Ms. Pam, I can never say thank you enough for your valuable information.

[@hollish196]

These are great in closets, too! And they are excellent for storing dried food.

[@PamsPOV]

Totally!

[@Rastaferrari829]

For larger applications like garages, storage units, basements, etc, they sell containers of this stuff. You can get something like “Damp rid” or the like at most retailers, and definitely at any storage facility

[@lindadorman2869]

Great tip! I always wondered what these were for...and now I know. I won't throw them away anymore!

[@PamsPOV]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jgray5034]

Superb tips as usual. Thank you! 🎉

[@JudyChilds-fu4em]

That's better than mothballs, without the toxicity, thanks. B Put one in sugar too❣️✌️

[@PamsPOV]

Great idea!

[@Melanated_1]

I have a pair of waterproof boots. I was told that they tend to hold moisture. I will surely place a gel pack in each after use.

[@abbigailrob560]

Wow! That's amazing! Thanks

[@bamboojenkins8]

What about those little cylinder things that come in your medicine bottles?

[@Christy-hq5zw]

Wonderful ❤. Thank you

[@jant7881]

I always keep these and the ones that come in pill bottles. I put them where I think moisture will cause problems.
