Line your cabinets and drawers with foil to protect them from spills, stains, and scratches. It’s especially useful under kitchen sink cabinets, where leaks and spills are common.
Pro Tip: Crumple the foil slightly before laying it down to create a non-slip surface that keeps items in place.
3. Clean Your Grill with Aluminum Foil
Summer BBQs are the best, but cleaning the grill afterward? Not so much. Luckily, aluminum foil can make the job easier.
Crumple up a sheet of foil into a ball and use it to scrub the grill grates. The foil is tough enough to remove stubborn grease and grime but gentle enough not to scratch your grill.
Pro Tip: Always use a pair of tongs to hold the foil ball to avoid burns.
4. Sharpen Scissors and Knives
