When You Travel
- Keep luggage dry: Before storing your luggage, place a silica gel pack in each suitcase to prevent moisture build-up.
- Dry out wet bathing suits: If you need to pack a wet bathing suit, place it in a Ziploc bag with a few silica gel packs to prevent mildew growth.
And here’s a bonus tip: If your silica gel packs become saturated with moisture, you can “reactivate” them. Simply place them on a baking sheet in a 200-degree oven, away from the heating element, for two hours.
Remember to store the silica gel packets in an airtight container away from pets and children, as they can be a choking hazard. With their multiple uses, these small packets can save you money by preventing moisture-related damage.
