5. Prevent Paint Drips
If you’re painting around the house, use aluminum foil to cover doorknobs, hinges, and other small fixtures. It’s much easier than trying to tape them up, and it ensures that you won’t accidentally get paint where it doesn’t belong.
The foil molds easily to odd shapes and stays in place without adhesive.
6. Polish Your Cutlery in the Dishwasher with Aluminum Foil Balls
Is your cutlery looking a little dull or tarnished? Here’s an easy and surprisingly effective hack: roll up a few small balls of aluminum foil and place them in the cutlery tray of your dishwasher. When you run the dishwasher, a chemical reaction occurs between the foil and the dishwasher detergent, which helps to polish your cutlery and remove tarnish.
The result? Sparkling, shiny silverware without any extra scrubbing!
Pro Tip: For best results, make sure the foil balls are about the size of a golf ball. Replace the foil balls every few washes to keep your cutlery looking its best.
