What is aluminum foil made of?
Aluminum is a chemical element that is extracted from a material called “bauxite”. It is a non-ferromagnetic metal, meaning it does not have the necessary compounds to be easily magnetized.
The aluminum foil is thus obtained thanks to the balance of iron and silicone, as well as 98.5% aluminum. In addition, the sheet of this metal is very flexible and it is an excellent conductor of heat.
Other Unsuspected Uses of Aluminum Foil
In addition to those that we have already mentioned, aluminum foil can help us on a daily basis to simplify certain tasks or solve a lot of small hassles.
Here are some surprising and even unusual uses:
– Cleaning a burnt pan: a simple, well-crumpled piece of aluminum foil can quickly remove burn marks. Just rub well and the residue will come off more easily.
– Give shine to your old, completely rusty silverware: have you just taken out old cutlery from the back of the cupboard as well as old, completely dull and oxidized jewelry? This is a surprising method to make all your silver pieces shine. Simply place a sheet of aluminum foil in the bottom of a basin, fill it with a mixture of hot water and coarse salt and immerse all your objects in it. Leave it on for a while before taking them out and drying them properly. The result is stunning: all your pieces have regained their former glory!
– Clean the iron: If it is full of stains and dirt, the iron will immediately be sticky and much slower than usual. Not to mention that it leaves unsightly marks on your clothes. Hop, make a big ball of aluminum foil and vigorously rub the dirtiest areas. Here it is again ready for use!
Additional tips for taking care of your laundry
Fading, shrinking, felting… your clothes don’t deserve this fate! Here’s how to extend their lifespan.
Preserve the original colors:
Tye & dye is pretty, but only when you want it…
White fabrics: to remain white, they must be protected from light, which yellows them. Do not hesitate to store them in dark boxes or opaque drawers, away from direct light.
Colored fabrics: to give your colored clothes a boost, add white vinegar to the last rinse water. Or use the latter as a fabric softener.
– Move the living room table: dust has accumulated in the living room and you plan to do a big clean? Oops, you’re still having trouble moving the coffee table in the living room, which is a little too heavy for you. No problem: wrap pieces of aluminum foil under the four legs of the table and you will notice that it will slide more quickly.
