The best way to clean aluminum foil after use is to gently wipe it with a damp cloth or sponge to remove any food particles or residue. If there is stubborn residue, you can use a mixture of warm water and dish soap, then rinse thoroughly with water. Avoid using abrasive materials like steel wool, as they can scratch the foil. For a deep clean, you can wash it in a dishwasher or soak it in a solution of vinegar and water. Dry the foil completely before storing to prevent any potential for bacterial growth.
