Everyone loves some form of jewelry, but like everything else, jewelry tends to collect grime and dirt over time, causing it to lose its prestige and look a lot less attractive than it was when it was new. It’s actually quite easy to get rid of this fog and grime using some water, a bit of cleaning detergent, and also, you’ve guessed it, aluminum foil!
If you ever find yourself wishing one of your pieces of jewelry was cleaner than it is, simply grab a bowl, fill it with water, and put the piece inside. Now all you have to do is to add some cleaning detergent and a piece of aluminum. Stir it up and wait for a few minutes. Next time you check it out, you’ll find that your jewelry is now perfectly clean and shiny again!
Keeping Your Spectacle Frame Safe
Glasses are usually pretty expensive and we try as best we can to protect them from bending or getting their frames ruined. If you wear glasses you'd know that one sort of activity that has a high potential of ruining your glasses is dying your hair. This problem forces you into what looks like a binary choice: either keep the glasses on and risk ruining your frame, or take them off and do it all half-blind.
Thanks to the wonders of aluminum foil, you can actually choose the third option - just wrap the frame of your glasses in aluminum foil, and now you're free to dye your hair or undergo any other head and facial related activities with no worries or concerns to your trusty little seeing partners.
No More Melting Ice Cream!
Children absolutely love ice cream, but one of the most annoying aspects as a parent is that somehow their ice cream always manages to drip all over their clothes or your furniture and it is very hard to clean up after. There's nothing more annoying than running around after your kid cleaning up ice cream drops.
This can be easily solved by using some aluminum foil. Simply take a piece of aluminum paper and shape a disposable bib out of it, wrap it around the ice cream facing upwards, and now all of the melting parts will fall right into your aluminum bib. It's safe and fun for the kids while giving you the peace of mind you deserve.
Rid Tour Clothes of Static Electricity
Have you ever put your clothes in the dryer, and put them on later only to be attacked by million tiny electric shocks This is an annoying problem that always seems to happen in the most uncomfortable times possible. But there is a solution.
If you want to solve this problem once and for all, take a small ball of aluminum foil and put it into the drying machine with your next cycle. Instead of the friction causing electrical charge to build up in your clothes, the aluminum ball will heroically "soak up" all the electricity and prevent it from leaking onto your clean clothes.
Improve Your Indoor and Outdoor Lighting
If you love experimenting with indoor and outdoor design, you'll find that aluminum foil is an excellent tool to use in order to play around with the lighting in your house. One very cool feature of aluminum foil is that it's a very good reflector of light, and possesses the ability to be able to bend in any way you wish to make your lights very pretty indeed.
You can actually play with aluminum foil by hanging it in various places around the house that create more light bounces and beautiful vistas and shadows. All you will need for this are some scissors (which you can sharpen using aluminum foil), some glue or tape, and a creative mind full of ideas on how to use the fantastic metal.
