Need to move a heavy piece of furniture? To help you slide it across a carpeted floor, place small pieces of aluminum foil under each leg, dull side down. The dull slide is more slippery than the shiny side, allowing you to move the piece with ease.

Strengthen WiFi Signal

Are you old enough to remember using aluminum foil to boost TV antenna signals? If that worked, what about WiFi?

According to Popular Science, you can use foil to wrap a 3D-printed reflector to amplify your WiFi signal in places where you need it most, like your home office. “Think of it like a reflector behind a flashlight bulb, concentrating the beam where you want it to go,” the article explains.
