8. Keep Steel Wool Pads Rust-Free
Steel wool pads are great for cleaning, but they rust quickly when exposed to moisture. To extend their lifespan, wrap the pad in aluminum foil and store it in the freezer. The foil blocks moisture, while the cold temperature slows rust formation, keeping your steel wool pads usable for longer.
9. Boost Your Wi-Fi Signal
Weak Wi-Fi signals can be a major annoyance, but aluminum foil can help. Place a curved sheet of foil behind your router to act as a DIY parabolic reflector. This directs the signal toward the desired area, improving coverage and strength. It’s a simple, cost-effective way to enhance your internet connection.
10. Create a DIY Sun Box for Plants
Indoor plants often struggle to get enough sunlight. To help them thrive, line the inside of a box with aluminum foil, shiny side out, and place your plants inside. The foil reflects light onto the plants, ensuring they receive even exposure and promoting healthy growth.
