A simple hack from around the house using a sheet of aluminum foil works really well to bring old tools back to life. After a meal, it’s often better to wash the dishes right away so that there isn’t a big pile in the sink.
Some people don’t have to do this because they have a machine, but people who wash their dishes by hand have to fix old cutlery that looks like it can’t be fixed.
Instead of giving up, someone comes up with a clever solution that uses the transforming power of aluminum foil. A spoon of sodium bicarbonate and half a spoon of sugar are added to hot water in a pot to start the process.
When the mixture starts to boil, a piece of metal foil is cut in half to make four equal parts. Then, each piece is rolled into a ball, which is then put into the pot of hot water.
Interestingly, this method works great for bringing old tools back to life. For just ten minutes, spoons, forks, and knives that have lost their shine are put in the pot.
After this short treatment, the cutlery is taken off and washed with soap and water to finish the process of revival. It’s amazing how the dull cutlery now shines so brightly, almost like it’s brand new.
By using the power of aluminum foil and the cleaning properties of sodium bicarbonate, this inexpensive option is a great alternative to throwing away old cutlery and buying new ones.
People can give their cooking essentials a new lease on life by using this easy but effective method, which saves both money and resources. The brilliant shine and clarity of the cutlery’s original state are brought back by this clever mix of everyday items.
