Tin Foil as a scourer/ Brillo Pad..handy hint!!

ditzymuppet

Hi... I just wanted to post here about a useful little thing I picked up recently

I ran out of brillo pads (metal scourers) and I had to clean my riding boots as they were caked in mud.... I grabbed a length of tin foil and scrunched it up... taadaaaa! I now have my very own temporary brillo pad/scourer.... works just as well as the normal type, and can be thrown away afterwards (who wants a 2nd hand scourer with mud on? :rolleyes: )

Just thought I'd share this pearl with you guys... hope it helps

You see! "Necessity," really is," the Mother of all inventions"

Glad you're boots came up nice and shiney and completely mud free

You can also save the mesh bags that onions and the like come in. Knot them together in a real tangle and you have a scrubby thing that you can chuck out with a clear conscience after doing some really filthy job. Good on the compost bin, BBQ etc.
