Art of Aluminum Foil
if you're only using aluminum foil to line your cookie sheets, you're tapping just a fraction of its potential. These genius aluminum foil hacks can save you time, money and effort.
When you iron clothing, a lot of the iron’s heat is sucked up by the board itself—requiring you to make several passes with the iron to remove wrinkles. To speed things up, put a piece of aluminum foil under your ironing board cover. This foil will reflect heat back through the clothing, smoothing the wrinkles more quickly.
What can you do with those clean pieces of leftover foil you have hanging around? Use them to sharpen up your dull scissors! Smooth the pieces out if necessary, and then fold the strips into several layers and start cutting. Seven or eight passes should do the trick. Pretty simple, huh?
Aluminum foil hacks extend to the great outdoors, too! To keep hungry insects away from your cucumbers and other vegetables, mix strips of aluminum foil with your garden mulch.
