Aluminum

Aluminum is probably one of the easiest, and least expensive, metals in the world to work with. The result of this simple fact is that we can find aluminum everywhere in our homes, and I don't mean the foil either. A majority of homes in our country is going to have something along the lines of aluminum siding, an aluminum fence, maybe aluminum Jell-o molds or even quite possibly (in this day of recycling) an aluminum can crusher (which quite often has aluminum parts as well—wonderful how that works). While each of these different items is made from aluminum, they were made differently. Because each of these items was made differently, they are going to need to be cleaned in a different manner. Here's where you find out how to do just that.
