Do you long for a perfectly glossy -free spot without spots and scale? The internet is spreading a simple trick with aluminum foil, which promises miracles. We tried it for you and the results will surprise you!
Old trick of our grandmothers in a new dress
Maybe you remember how our grandmothers polished a silver cutlery using aluminum foil. This old, proven trick is now returning in modern form. Social networks flooded videos with a simple idea – put a ball from aluminum foil in the dishwasher. It sounds incredibly simply, right? It is the simplicity of this trick that attracts the attention of thousands of people. Our grandmothers knew what they were doing – aluminum foil really can do wonders with shiny surfaces. And the best part is that this trick will cost you almost nothing.
We are testing a miraculous bullet: Step by step
We decided to try this viral hit firsthand. The procedure is really simple. First we tear off a piece of aluminum foil approximately the size of the A4. Then we rolled it into a compact bulf ball ball. We placed the bullet on the top basket of the dishwasher, added a regular tablet to the dishwasher and started the standard program. The results amazed us – the dishes were shining like new! No spots from scale, no dry drops. Even the cups glistened without a single smudge.
How is it possible? Science for a miracle
Behind this simple trick there is a fascinating chemistry. When aluminum foil comes into contact with hot water and detergent, an electrolite reaction arises. Experts explain that aluminum foil has a stronger bond with sulfur atoms than silver or other metals. This means that oxidized particles and dirt are naturally moved from dishes to aluminum foil. The detergent in the dishwasher acts as a salt bath that speeds up the process. The result is perfectly clean and glossy dishes without any effort.
Important notifications for the best results
Despite great results, there are several important warnings. This trick is not recommended to use for aluminum dishes – it can cause unwanted scratches and color change. The best results are achieved with a silver and nickened blast. With normal stainless steel, the results may be less pronounced. Experts also recommend using this trick in moderation. Too frequent use could lead to problems with the dishwasher filter or reduce its efficiency. It is ideal to use this trick once a month or when you need extra shine for special occasions.
