FAQ:
Q: Are silica gel beads safe to use around kids and pets?
A: While not toxic, silica gel packets should not be ingested. Keep sachets out of reach of children and pets.
Q: Can I reuse the same beads multiple times?
A: Yes! Silica gel can be recharged by drying them in a low oven to remove absorbed moisture.
Q: Will the sachets remove strong odors from shoes?
A: They help absorb moisture which reduces odor, but for very strong smells, combine with baking soda or use after thoroughly cleaning the shoes.
