Dropped your phone in the sink or spilled water on your earbuds? Rice has long been a trusted hack for drying out electronic devices.
The rice draws moisture from inside the device, potentially preventing permanent damage. While it may not work in all cases, it’s often worth a try and has saved many gadgets.
Rice doesn’t just soak up water—it’s also excellent at trapping odors. It can help neutralize smells in spaces that often get stale or musty.
Pro tip: Mix in a few drops of essential oil like lavender or mint to turn it into a natural air freshener that’s both effective and aromatic.
Humidity is one of the biggest enemies of jewelry, especially silver. The moisture in the air can speed up oxidation and make your prized pieces look dull.
To protect them, place a small sachet of uncooked rice inside your jewelry box. It helps keep the area dry, which prevents tarnishing and prolongs the shine of your metals—especially useful in tropical or coastal areas.
