Put A Crumpled Ball Of Aluminum Foil In Your Dryer
Aluminum foil can work magic in your dryer. All you need to do is roll a sheet into a small ball, throw it in, and this will reduce static electricity and keep your clothes looking fresh and crisp in no time. Your clothing will stay soft and this is a great alternative to dryer sheets or fabric softener to help save you money!
Wrap Your Key Fob In Foil
Inside your car key fob, there’s a tiny computer chip which is programmed with a unique code that it sends to your car’s security system. To respond to it, the car has a chip of its own which uses the same algorithm to generate codes. Simply put, if the codes match, the car opens. While this is all well and good, the convenience comes at a price: if someone hacks into your car key fob and figures out the code, they can easily take your car. To prevent exactly this, there are a few little tricks you can use. The one we’ll focus on is wrapping your key fob in foil. No, this isn’t some wacky conspiracy theory. Wrapping the fob in foil will prevent hackers from stealing its signal. If you don’t want to walk around with a foil-wrapped key, you can use a small box and line it with foil to store the key in.
Clean A Barbecue Grill
