Silica Gel Packets
Everyone is aware that silica gel packets are used to maintain the “freshness” of a product. Have you ever wondered how this tiny bag of beads does it? Silica gel absorbs moisture from its surroundings and can absorb up to 50% of the humidity in an enclosed space, keeping things nice and dry.
If you acquire a new product that comes with one of these little packets, save it instead of tossing it away. If your phone goes in the toilet, you may quickly stuff it into a handful of these tiny beads. It works far better than rice and is much less messy!
Rubber Bumps On Your Tires
If you’re not a mechanic, you’re probably unaware that these exist. And why would you want to? It’s not like we inspect our tires on a daily basis. However, if you did, you would discover that your tire tread has small rubber lumps on it.
These raised edges inside the tread indentations signal when it’s time to replace your tires; if the edges are even with the bumps, you should get to the tire shop. You’re good to go if the edges are well above the bumps.
