Aluminium foil scissors hack: How it works, benefits and steps to improve the cutting power of dull scissors

A clever trick using aluminium foil can breathe new life into slightly dull scissors. By cutting through folded foil, you create friction, which smooths out small nicks on the blades, providing quick touch-ups for everyday scissors. For severely worn or rusty blades, though, it's best to seek professional sharpening. Always remember to wipe the blades clean afterward and test their sharpness with some paper.
