Place uncooked rice in small breathable bags or bowls to absorb excess humidity in cupboards, closets, or camera bags—an easy DIY dehumidifier.
Soothing Heat Pack
Fill a clean sock or cloth pouch with rice, tie it off, and microwave for 1–2 minutes. It holds warmth and molds to your body—great for cramps or sore muscles.
Phone Dryer
Dropped your phone in water? Submerge it (after powering off) in a bowl of uncooked rice. The rice helps draw out moisture and may revive your device.

Grind rice into a fine powder to create a natural facial scrub. Mix with honey or rosewater for a gentle, skin-brightening exfoliant.
DIY Cleaning Agent for Bottles & Vases
Add rice, warm water, and a bit of dish soap into narrow-necked bottles or vases. Shake well—the rice scrubs where brushes can’t reach.
