Keeping a Steel Wool Pads Intact
Steel wool pads are excellent for cleaning utensils and dishes, unfortunately, they are very prone to rust, and quickly too, which makes them as good as useless after a while. With aluminum foil, however, you prevent the steel wool pads from rusting and get rid of rust as well.
To achieve this, drain off water from the pad and wrap the pad inside aluminum foil after each use. And to rid it of rust, simply place it inside the freezer after you’ve wrapped it with aluminum foil. It is that easy!
