18. Remove rust with aluminum foil
Rust can quickly ruin the appearance of chrome metal items in your home. But there is a surprising and counterintuitive solution that can restore its original shine: aluminum foil. Start by thoroughly cleaning the chrome surface with a microfiber cloth and soapy water, removing any dirt or residue. Then, submerge the object in clean water and gently rub it with a piece of aluminum foil. It may seem strange, but aluminum foil has unique properties that help remove rust and corrosion from metal surfaces. After a few minutes of rubbing, you will see the chrome regain its characteristic shine, looking like new. This technique is inexpensive, easy to perform, and extremely effective in renewing the appearance of your chrome metal items.
