Crumple a piece of aluminum foil into a ball.
Dampen it slightly and rub gently on chrome fixtures to remove tarnish and buildup.
3. Prevents Rust in the Toilet Tank
Aluminum foil helps reduce rust formation in metal components inside the tank by acting as a sacrificial anode.
How It Works: The foil oxidizes instead of the metal parts, protecting them from rust.
How to Use:
Place a ball of aluminum foil in the tank, away from the mechanisms.
Check the foil periodically and replace it when it starts to disintegrate.
Is It Safe?
Yes, placing aluminum foil in the toilet tank is generally safe and doesn’t damage the plumbing or septic system. However, ensure the foil doesn’t interfere with the flush mechanism or flow of water.
