Uses of Aluminum foil

I read some fantastic and innovative uses of aluminum foil. It’s easily available in everybody’s kitchen. So try it on your risk, if you like, share it with others
  • Polish your silver – If silverware is looking a bit dull, try cleaning it using an ion exchange-a molecular reaction in which aluminum acts as a catalyst. Simply line a dish with a sheet of aluminum foil, fill it with cold water and two teaspoons of salt. Drop your tarnished silverwar4e into the solution, let it sit 2 to 3 minutes, then rinse off and dry.

  • Sharpen your scissors – Fold the silver foil strips into several layers and start cutting. Seven or eight passes should do the trick .Pretty simple.

  • Move furniture with ease – To slide big pieces of furniture over a smooth floor, place mall pieces of aluminum foil under the legs of the furniture .Have the dull side of the file facing downwards, as the dull side is actually more slippery than the shiny side.

  • Clean your iron- Is starch building up on your clothes iron and causing it to stick? To get, rid of it, run your hot iron over a piece of aluminum foil.

  • Keep a paintbrush wet – If you’r going to continue painting tomorrow morning, don’t bother to clean the brush – just squeeze out the excess paint and wrap it tightly in aluminium foil. Use a rubber band to hold the foil tightly at the base of the handle .For extended wet/ /brush storage,toss the wrapped brush in the freezer.But don’t forget to defrost it for an hour or so before you start painting again the next day.
