Put a foil ball in the dishwasher, something surprising will happen

If you have dull or scratched cutlery after taking it out of the dishwasher and want to fix it, try the tips below.

Take a piece of aluminum foil (the kind used to wrap food), roll it into a small ball. Before starting the machine, place the aluminum foil ball in the cutlery basket of the dishwasher. The result is that after washing, the cutlery will be brighter and the scratches will no longer be visible.

Thanks to the chemical reaction between baking soda in the dishwasher tablet and aluminum foil, it helps remove silver sulfide - the substance that causes spoons and forks to tarnish, making your silver and stainless steel items shine.

Note: The foil ball should only be used once in the dishwasher because it will become discolored after washing and should not be reused.

If you find your cutlery has lost its shine over time, try this aluminum foil trick and see if it works. Worst case scenario, it may not work on heavily tarnished items, but it will still clean them better than regular washing.

In addition to putting the foil ball in the dishwasher to make knives and forks shine, you can also put 3 pieces of aluminum foil in the washing machine to help clothes have less fluff and less dirt. This is because the foil ball will absorb all the electric charge, helping to eliminate static electricity on clothes.
