Prevent Wrinkled Clothing
Wrinkled clothing never looks good. What’s more, if you are ironing your clothes on a base that is not ideally smooth, you could risk ironing wrinkles into your clothes that are extremely difficult to get out. While doing more harm than good goes against every principle of ironing, even the most experienced home manager can mess this up.
By wrapping a piece of foil underneath the ironing boards cloth, the metal will absorb the iron’s heat and in a matter of minutes, the surface will be perfectly smooth.
Avoid Paint Mess On Doorknobs
Whether you are painting your whole house or only one room, paint mess is always a concerning risk. While paper and some tape may be perfect for protecting door frames and ceilings from unsightly paint splatters, it won’t work so well for doorknobs.
Once again, aluminum foil saves the day! It is extremely easy to mold a sheet of aluminum foil over doorknobs to keep them protected from paint mess. It is also simple to remove once the paint has dried.
