You’ll find a roll of aluminum foil in just about every household. But most households probably aren’t aware of all the useful things that aluminum foil can do.
Aluminum foil will bring great convenience to your life and we’ll tell you how.
Here Are 15 Things You Didn’t Know Aluminum Foil Could Do:
1) Get Rid Of Grease
If you pour grease down the drain, it will clog. But you also don’t want to pour hot grease right into the garbage pail. Line a bowl with tin foil and pour your grease in. Once it is cooled you can lift out the foil and toss it.
2) Sharpen Scissors
Fold a piece of aluminum foil several times. Then cut the foil a few times with your scissors. This will sharpen them up.
3) Protect Door Knobs
Painting a door? Cover the knob with alumninum foil. This will prevent it from getting covered in paint.
4) Makeshift Funnel
Aluminum foil works well for making a makeshift funnel. Just fold it into a funnel shape. You can use it to transfer liquids.
5) Cover The Paint Tray
Cover your paint tray with aluminum foil before you start painting. When you’re done you can just peel off the foil and toss it out. You won’t have to worry about getting dried paint in your fresh paint.
6) Foil Decoupage
Refurbish your furniture with aluminum foil. Decoupaging your furniture with tin foil will give it a whole new look. You can actually use tin foil for lots of crafty purposes which you can find here.
7) Mess-Free Oven
Stop cleaning your oven. Instead, lay a piece of aluminum foil down on the bottom of the oven to catch any drips and messes. Just toss out when it gets dirty. You can do the same thing with your toaster oven.
