Introduction
The practice of adding an aluminum foil ball to the washing machine is a simple, yet surprisingly effective trick that has been passed down through generations. This method, often discovered by savvy housewives before the invention of specialized laundry detergents and advanced washing machine models, offers several benefits. Whether it’s enhancing cleanliness, providing softness, or reducing static electricity, aluminum foil can be an unexpected game-changer in your laundry routine.
Ingredients:
Aluminum foil (standard kitchen foil)
How to make:
Take a large piece of aluminum foil (about 12 inches in length).
Scrunch the foil into a tight ball. The ball should be roughly the size of a tennis ball.
Place the aluminum foil ball in the washing machine along with your laundry. You can add it to any load—whether it's a regular wash or a delicate one.
Start the washing machine and let it run as usual.
