When it comes to keep your own personal items safe and secure, you can reuse silica packs from products you purchase or buy new ones. When placed in air tight container, silica gel can prevent your items from rusting, tarnishing, or attracting mildew and mold.
Another good thing to know is that silica gel can be reactivated once it reaches its moisture holding capacity. By baking in an oven at 200 degree for about 15 minutes the moisture is evaporated and the little packets can be used again and again.
