How to Use Aluminum Foil

Aluminum foil has many more uses than you would think. Here are several ways to utilize that aluminum foil sitting in your drawer!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. 

   IRONING: Who would have thought? Tear off a piece of aluminum foil and place it between the ironing board and cover. Since foil is a heat conductor, it helps iron both sides at once! A great way to cut your ironing time in half!

2. 

   A GREAT STEEL WOOL REPLACEMENT! If you are used to scrubbing pots and pans with steel wool and happen to run out, try balling up a piece of aluminum foil and using it instead. It works just as well as steel wool, and will cost you less!

3. 

   PROTECT YOUR KNOBS FROM KIDS FINGERS! My knobs are always covered with tiny grease marks and grimy, dirty imprints. To avoid this, wrap foil over the sink handles, doorknobs, and kitchen knobs to compact those fingerprint marks.
