Packing peanuts can be reused for shipping purposes or dropped off at shipping stores to be recycled. But did you know that they can also help deodorize a refrigerator or musty drawer? If you want to get rid of a smell, fill a drawer or the compartments inside a refrigerator with packing peanuts. Let it sit for 24 hours to absorb odors. Remove the peanuts, and recycle them as you normally would. It really works!

Ever buy a new pair of shoes or a bottle of vitamins and notice those little packets filled with moisture-absorbing silica? Before you toss them away, think about saving them for your kitchen. The writers at TheKitchn.com keep the packets inside cast-iron pans in the kitchen cupboard. Since cast iron is never really thoroughly washed, some trapped moisture can live in the seasoned cookware. A packet or two of the silica gel helps prevent rust and degradation.
