Did you know how useful aluminum foil could be in helping with your daily chores? We think that residents of our Flagstaff apartments would really benefit from these tips. Try fitting these aluminum foil hacks into your household routine.

Clean Off Rust

Use aluminum foil to clean rusted metal furniture you may have outside on your balcony or patio. Just follow the steps below.

Steps To Clean Rust

• Tear off a piece the size of printer paper
• Ball it up so that there are still some air pockets left inside
• Make sure it’s big enough for the area you wish to clean
• Rub it over the rusted areas

Sharpen Your Scissors

Don’t continue struggling with dull scissors. Fold a piece of aluminum foil over to form several layers. Cut through it with the scissors a few times. It works as well as a sharpening stone.

Scrub Your Glassware and Pans

Out of steel wool? Ball up a piece of aluminum foil to use as a substitute. It’s great for removing stuck on food from your glass cookware. You can also use this hack on the racks in your oven or any of your metal cooking pans.

Iron Your Clothes In Half The Time

Want an easier way to get a nice iron press on both sides of your clothes? Just slide a piece of aluminum foil under any pieces you’re ironing. The aluminum reflects back the heat, so both sides of your garment gets taken care of with one pass.

Keep Paint Off Your Fixtures

Need to do some painting in your apartment? Wrap aluminum foil around things like your doorknobs, drawer handles, or other fixtures you want to protect. It’s easy to remove once you’re done.
