Stick aluminium foil behind tap: A simple sheet of aluminium foil behind the kitchen tap has become a popular household hack, especially for people looking for an easy way to deal with water splashes around the sink. But what does the foil actually do, and does this kitchen hack really work?
The answer is fairly simple. Aluminium foil can act as a temporary splash guard, helping redirect small droplets away from the wall or backsplash behind the tap. It is not a replacement for a proper splashback or waterproof seal, but it can be a quick solution when you want to keep the area cleaner.
