After having a meal at home, it’s always better to wash the dishes immediately to avoid facing a mountain of dirty dishes in the sink later in the evening or the next day. Those who own a dishwasher, perhaps even one of the latest generation, don’t face this problem, as it’s sufficient to load the machine to its maximum and start the program for dishes, cutlery, pots, and pans to always shine. However, those who don’t have a dishwasher or wish to use it as little as possible for consumption reasons, must definitely resort to hand washing.

Many people quickly notice that washing very old dishes seemingly no longer works. It seems really impossible to restore certain items to their original shine.

Fortunately, there are some products on the market that can help us bring our cutlery back to shine. However, we advise forgetting overly aggressive solutions and focusing instead on some natural remedies that can guarantee high effectiveness. By now, we know that aluminum foil has become a lifesaver for many housewives, but only a few people are aware of its full benefits.

Indeed, many people do not know that a sheet of aluminum foil is enough to give cutlery the shine that now seems lost. All you have to do is get such a sheet and dip it into a pan in which you have heated water.

After pouring a liter of water into the aforementioned pot, we also immerse a spoon of sodium bicarbonate and a half spoon of sugar, mixing everything well to ensure that the ingredients blend well.

After bringing the water to a boil, we take an aluminum sheet, cut it in half with scissors, and then divide the two obtained halves, so four equal parts are created.

Each obtained “square” must be rolled up until you have four balls. Once the water is boiling, we can put the aluminum balls into the pan.
