Creative Ways to Use Aluminum Foil
1. Prevent static electricity in the dryer
Say goodbye to drying wipes and hello to aluminum foil!
Roll aluminum foil into a ball and toss it in the dryer with your clothes. The foil helps prevent static by dissipating the static charge that builds up during drying. Plus, it’s reusable, making it an eco-friendly alternative.
Tip: Use a ball of aluminum foil for up to six months before replacing it – a permanent solution to static electricity!
2. Align cabinets and drawers
Cabinet and drawer inserts can be expensive and sometimes it’s difficult to find the right size. Aluminum foil offers an easy and affordable alternative.
Line cabinets and drawers with plastic wrap to protect them from spills, stains and scratches. This is especially useful under cabinets under the kitchen sink, where leaks and spills often occur.
Tip: Lightly crumple the foil before laying it down to create a non-slip surface that will hold items in place.
