Protect Your Electronics Electronics, in general, should be kept a safe distance away from any potential sources of water in order to prevent irreparable damage. However, it’s not always avoidable, many of us have at one point unintentionally submerged our phones in water (whoops!). Additionally, not many people think about the effect that humidity and moisture in the air can have on their electronic devices. The effects of water/moisture in electronic devices can be devastating but luckily with a little help from silica gel beads we can take one extra step to protect our gadgets. Save Your Wet Phone – We have all heard of putting your wet phone in with rice. However, silica gel is known to be more effective at sucking out moisture. Stick your device directly into a container/bag with as many packets or loose beads as possible and wait 24-48 hours before attempting to turn on your phone. Camera Lens Condensation – Place silica gel packets in with your camera, lenses and other equipment to minimize the effects of condensation and remove moisture caused from the changing temperatures that come along with the job. Headphones – Whether you’re just taking a walk on a hot day or you regularly use your headphones for working out, it is inevitable that they become a little sweaty. Place some silica gel packets in your headphones and in the case to help draw the moisture out.
