The metal properties found in aluminum foil make the paper-like material even more useful. When you're dealing with a SHTF situation you'll be happy that you took the time to learn these hacks. Now for the list you've been waiting for:

1. Get rid of static.
Want to replace your dryer sheets? Crumple up some clean foil into a ball about the size of a tennis ball and toss it into your dryer. It will help to keep your laundry static-free.
2. Remove rust from chrome.
Aluminium foil can be used as a rust-remover. Crumple it up into a ball and use it to rub off rust spots.
3. Clean your grill.
If you are already using foil for cooking on the grill, why not repurpose it and use it to clean the grates afterward?
4. Keep bananas fresh longer.
It’s natural for bananas to brown over time, but by wrapping the stem end of the fruit in aluminum foil, it will slow the browning process.
5. Clean tarnished silver.
If you’ve got silver pieces that aren’t looking as shiny as they once looked, simply line a container with aluminum foil and then add boiling water and about three tablespoons of baking soda.
Drop in the tarnished silverware to restore its shine.
6. Keep birds away from your garden and fruit trees.
In some cases, it can be beneficial to have birds in your garden, but if you are growing seeds that they want to eat, you might not want them around. Try hanging strips of aluminum foil around your garden or on your fruit trees. The foil will reflect the light from the sun and move around in the breeze, helping to scare off unwanted birds.

Have you tried any of the aforementioned aluminum foil hacks? Have you tried a hack that wasn't on this list, and if you have, what was it?

It's good to know that it can help you keep bananas fresh longer and I had no idea that it could help you keep birds away from your fruit trees and garden! It turns out aluminum foil is a lot more useful than many of us realized. I can't wait to try all of these tips myself soon.
