Being able to add salt to a dish has always brought flavor. But few people know it, this natural element has several strings to its bow. That is why, added to the laundry, it can be very useful. You will not be at the end of your surprises, because salt can still be used for so many other things!
Summary
Everyone knows the trick of the little mound of salt placed on the wine stain of the white tablecloth, or even that salt deposited on the doorstep to ward off the evil eye… Today, salt is best known in gastronomy to enhance the taste, to preserve while drying.
It is to forget that it reveals itself one of the elements of your natural, ecological and inexpensive drugstore. In reasonable proportions, it dissolves or becomes denatured so as not to harm the environment.
What are the different uses of salt at home?
Already present on your table, in your pantry, in large quantities or not, it will allow you to simply solve problems, for which you previously had to resort to chemical products, which were sold to you at very high prices.
–Salt loosens laundry and restores its shine
Like baking soda and apple cider vinegar: the saline element will allow you to take good care of your laundry. By mixing the laundry, you have noticed that some pieces have become dull and have lost their colors. Instead of looking for homemade or elaborate chemical solutions, don’t worry anymore: the salt will help refresh your laundry. To do this, add a solution of 100 grams of salt in a quarter liter of water to your detergent in the tub of the washing machine. The result will meet your expectations at the end of the program, for just a few cents. To aim for long-term maintenance, reduce the proportions, switch to 50 g of salt per delicate wash.
–Salt cleans stains in your home
Are you about to wash the floor, tile or floor? It does not occur to you to fetch your little kilo of salt. And yet! Take the test… In the bucket of hot water, simply pour half a glass of salt, mix until dissolved and practice as usual. Not only will your coating be cleaner, but it will also get dirty less quickly!
Another tip that few people know… When your sink has trouble draining dirty water, when the shower tray is slow to empty. Head to the kitchen: pour half a glass of salt with or without baking soda down the drain, let it act for a few moments, rinse thoroughly with hot water, and your problem has found its solution.
Finally, you will also take the reflex to use it for stains in your bathroom (shower walls and tile joints), whether due to humidity or limestone. Mix coarse salt with lemon juice, bring a little water if necessary, take a sponge or a microfiber cloth, rub and you’re done!
–Salt: a deodorant for all uses
Here, it is a question of using its absorbing power. The sports shoes have taken on odors, instead of washing them at great expense, start by putting a few grains of coarse salt in them: they will be healthy and pleasant. To clean up the atmosphere of the house too, salt is back in service. Place it in a bowl with a few drops of essential oils. As the liquid dries up, it will release your chosen scent faster and stronger.
As you can see: the little grain of salt is also a major asset in your battery of healthy, natural and ecological products that help you take care of the house and the family’s laundry. Plus, it’s not going to ruin you.
