What are the benefits of wrapping your feet in aluminum foil?

Aluminum foil is the ‘jack of all trades’ of every household and it has more uses than simply covering your Sunday roast in the oven. We want to share a few uncommon and surprising tricks that you can try out with this everyday item, including wrapping your feet with it!

Everyday perks

Aluminum foil does the trick, whether you have joint pain or when you want to fix something around the house. It’s good for all kinds of medical issues, including burn injuries and even the common cold. We’re sure you’ll find something you haven’t tried with it in the following list.

• Sharpening scissors can be problematic. Simply get a sheet of aluminum foil, fold it and cut it up with the scissors. Once you’re done they will be as sharp as new.
• Ironing hack – if you want to save time, put down a sheet of aluminum foil on the ironing board and put the clothing over it. The foil will heat up, speeding up the process so you don’t need to turn the clothing over to do the other side!
• Static cling can be an issue when you wear clothing made out of synthetic fibers. It stings when you take them off! Fix this annoying problem by rubbing a ball of aluminum foil over the affected piece of clothing – the metallic material will collect the electric discharge.
• WiFi signals can be boosted by this clever hack! Put up a sheet of aluminum foil near the place you need a better signal, it will be redirected by the foil in the direction it is facing.
• Funnel – not at hand when you need one? No problem! Just take a piece of aluminum foil, fold it multiple times so that it’s thick enough and form a funnel shape out of it. It’s leak-proof, too, if you do it right!
