Aluminum foil is an essential tool at home and its uses are multiple. Including a little-known, but very judicious, use that you probably didn’t know about: it protects your clothes each time you wash them and prevents them from becoming electrified. Quickly discover this brilliant tip!
Indeed, when washing clothes in the washing machine, a certain quantity of electrical charges are immediately released. Which can significantly harm laundry by wearing out the textiles, or even tearing fragile fabrics.
This static electricity can come from the washing machine itself or from the friction of clothes while washing. Hence the phenomenon of electrification of tissues, often annoying and unsightly.
