Is there somewhere that does huge bags of silica gel? and if so is that what I need to be using?

Many thanks ... am about to pack unecessary clothes

Hi there, we brought a load of silica gel sachets off ebay for Â£12! Did the trick, no mould! Also put some sachets in with bed linen, mattresses and the sofas. We also vacume packed as much as we could. X

My candles actually DID all melt. I didn't realise that was a myth, I assumed it was a common thing! They were all cheap Ikea ones though....

I was worried about the same thing but didn't even think of the gel packs etc. Everything was packed in boxes. Arrived just fine. I even took my bedline out and it still smelt of my washing powder back home. I had the best nights sleep for 3 months!!!!

All our stuff was very dry and I would also guess that coming at this time of year there isn't such a difference in temperatures. Just my theory I could be wrong.
