From Dryer to Dishwasher: Top 7 Foil Tricks You Need to Try (Page 3 ) | April 30, 2025

Line your cabinets and drawers with foil to protect them from spills, stains, and scratches. It’s especially useful under kitchen sink cabinets, where leaks and spills are common.

Pro Tip: Crumple the foil slightly before laying it down to create a non-slip surface that keeps items in place.

3. Clean Your Grill with Aluminum Foil

Summer BBQs are the best, but cleaning the grill afterward? Not so much. Luckily, aluminum foil can make the job easier.

Crumple up a sheet of foil into a ball and use it to scrub the grill grates. The foil is tough enough to remove stubborn grease and grime but gentle enough not to scratch your grill.

Pro Tip: Always use a pair of tongs to hold the foil ball to avoid burns.

4. Sharpen Scissors and Knives

Is there anything more frustrating than dull scissors or knives? Here’s a quick fix: fold a sheet of aluminum foil several times until it’s thick, then cut through it with your dull scissors or knives. The foil sharpens the blades, giving them a new lease on life.
