Aluminum foil or paper has several magical uses around the home. It can be used as an unbeatable sponge to help clean tough stains when wrapped around a cleaning sponge. Aluminum foil is also the perfect partner to the iron as it allows you to iron wrinkles out of delicate fabrics like wood or silk from a distance without exposing them to direct heat. Additionally, aluminum foil can be used to polish silver by wrapping a tray in it along with baking soda and boiling water to soak silver cutlery.
