Many housewives believe that foil has one and only one purpose, which is to prepare various baked dishes.

However, this opinion has little to do with the truth.

Foil is a real lifesaver when it comes to a variety of household chores. For example, if you love silver jewelry, you can use foil to get it in order in no time.

Simply line the bottom of a bowl with aluminum foil, place the rings and earrings on top and fill them with a solution of 0.5 l of water and 25 g of baking soda.

After 10 minutes, you will see with the naked eye that the jewelry has become lighter.

In addition, foil can be used for washing by rolling it into balls the size of tennis balls.

Clothes washed in a washing machine with the “addition” of foil balls will definitely not become electrified.

The third way to use foil is to wrap it around the ends of bananas.

This way you can block the ethylene gas, which means the bananas won't turn black for a long time.
