We all use aluminum foil for cooking and preserving food but www.realsimple.com has found many other uses for this common household staple.

hot ironAluminum Foil as Wrinkle Remover
To get wrinkles out of silk, wool, and rayon clothes that can’t take direct heat, place a piece of foil on your ironing board, then lay the garment flat over it. With the steam button down, pass the iron three to four inches over the fabric several times. Wet heat radiating from the foil helps smooth out wrinkles.
Aluminum Foil for a Clear TV Signal
If your DVD player is stacked on top of the TV (or vice versa) and the picture is fuzzy, the two electromagnetic fields may be commingling, confusing the signals. (This usually happens with plastic casings; with metal it’s less likely.) Slip a sheet of foil between the machines to separate the fields.
