Have you tried everything to restore the shine to your cutlery, but nothing really works? What if the solution was in a simple piece of aluminum foil? This little-known but very effective grandmother’s tip could well become your new kitchen routine.
Why does your cutlery tarnish?
Over time, your stainless steel or silver cutlery can lose its shine and take on an unsightly grayish tint . The main cause? Oxidation and limescale deposits that build up wash after wash. Even the best cleaning products are not always enough to prevent this phenomenon, giving an impression of uncleanliness despite a complete cycle in the dishwasher.
The unexpected solution: a ball of aluminumfoil
The trick is surprisingly simple : just crumple a sheet of aluminum foil into a ball and place it in the cutlery basket of your dishwasher before starting the cycle.
But why does it work?
Aluminum reacts with minerals in water and limescale deposits , preventing your cutlery from oxidizing and restoring its shine . This is a natural chemical reaction that acts as a protective barrier against tarnishing.
