I seem to have accumulated quite a few of these from LFT tests, thinking that they will come in handy for something....but have no idea what ! does anyone have any useful suggestions please?

I've used mine in those vaccum storage bags, to help keep our spare duvets and outgrown baby clothes dry.

thank you, I have tried using those vacuum bags and been unimpressed, they don't seem to actually seal that well so the duvets eventually plump up again !

I've put some in the box of laundry powder, as that seems to clump when we get towards the bottom.

So far so good with ours! Really satisfying watching the duvet shrinking down. Our storage cupboard is mysteriously 5° colder than the rest of the house (DP checked with thermometer) so hopefully the sachets will keep damp at bay.

Have you got any shoes stored in shoe boxes?

I use them in dried food products. I dry out shredded conkers to use as washing liquid and put the sachets in with them!
