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.
Make Your Jewels Shine Again
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!
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.
Keep Your Frozen Food Tasting Great
It's always a bummer to freeze a delicious meal only to take it out a few days later with all of the taste gone. All you're left with is a memory of what was once a very tasty dish and not much else. Luckily, using aluminum foil, you can actually preserve both the state and the taste of your food much better.
The cool thing about aluminum foil is that it traps the particles inside it, so next time you want to freeze your leftover food, simply wrap it tightly in aluminum foil and the great taste and smell will stay with your meal. This way, when you heat it up you'll be enjoying a meal almost exactly as tasty as it was when it was first made.
Keep Your Fireplace Clean
One of the most annoying things about owning a fireplace is the sheer abundance of dust, soot, and ash that accumulate fairly fast, especially if you use it often. It's not an easy job to clean these all up, and they have a tendency of turning everything in the house black when you do.
You can solve this problem by placing a double layer of aluminum foil under the fire next time you're going to use the fireplace. The foil will gather all the dust and ash into one easy pick-up pile. Once you're done with the fire, give it a few hours to cool off, gently check that it's now at room temperature, and just fold the aluminum-containing all the leftovers into a ball that goes straight into the trash.
