    The uses of aluminum foil are quite extensive. It turns out that this gadget is ideal not only for protecting food. It is much more versatile.

    #Aluminum Foil for Polishing Surfaces

    Chrome fixtures or sinks are sometimes very difficult to clean. In addition, sediment accumulates on the surface of taps. Therefore, take a piece of foil and roll it into a ball. Then dip it in water and proceed to polish the chrome surfaces. You will quickly see the intended effect. The foil will also work well for polishing chrome parts of motorcycles and cars. If they are a bit rusty, be sure to dip the foil in a carbonated beverage like cola.
