The 20 uses for aluminum foil can be done with brand and non-brand names. It doesn't matter, the outcome will be the same.
Aluminum foil was introduced to us in 1947 by a man named Richard S. Reynolds, and I'm sure Mr. Reynolds did not expect his product to be used in so many ways.
But as with everything else that has been introduced or created over the years, humans are always looking for more and better ways to use it, and since aluminum foil can be found in three out of four households in America today, there is no wonder why people have found it so versatile.
If you have an emergency and don't have what you need, maybe the solution can be found in the list below.
Storing Your Paint
If you don't use all your paint - and want to keep what's left in the can - before you close it, cut out a circle of aluminum foil the size of the top, then place it on top of the paint before you seal it. The will keep that hard layer of paint skin from forming on top.
Stop Steel Wool From Rusting
Just wrap your steel wool in the aluminum foil and put it your freezer. This prevents rust from forming.
Remove Rust From Chrome
Crumple a piece of aluminum foil, dip in Coca-Cola then rub the rust spot. This can be used on any item that is chrome plated.
Store Your Used Wet Paint Brushes
After using the paint brush, squeeze the excess paint out, then wrap your brush in aluminum foil and put it the freezer. When you want to use it again, just take it out of the freezer and let it thaw out.
Re-Set Linoleum Tile
Place the aluminum foil on top of the loose tile, then iron it. The heat being conducted by the foil, will heat the tile and cause the glue underneath to melt. After you finish, place something heavy on top of the tile, until the glue dries.
Keep Pets Off Your Furniture
Did you know that dogs and cats are afraid of the sound of crackling, rustling aluminum foil? Put a few pieces on their favorite furniture, and this will stop them from climbing on it.
Remove Starch From Your Iron
Just run your iron back and forth over the aluminum foil until all the starch is off your iron.
