3. Restore Your Water-Damaged Phone

It sounds suprising and incredible, but silicon dioxide is actuall able to restore your water-damaged phone. In case you face a situation like this, just put the phone among four to five silica gel bags, and they will absorb the moisture and dry the phone.

4. Keep Your Workout Gear Dry

Because silica absorbs moisture, you should always keep several silica bags in your training bag along with your workout gear, so that you prevent bacteria proliferation. They will also help you get rid of the bad odour and keep your bag nice, dry and clean.
