Common table salt is not just a spice. What can we use salt for, except for salting food?
If there's one food item you should always have in your kitchen, it's definitely salt.
One of the cheapest and most necessary foods, in addition to improving the taste of dishes, can be used in various ways, especially in household maintenance.
Let's look at some alternative ways to use table salt.
Use salt to exfoliate your face
Mix the salt and some of the facial oil you are using and massage the skin of your face in gentle and circular motions. Then wash it off with lukewarm water and clean your face as usual.
Unclog drains with salt
For a natural drain cleaner, mix baking soda and salt and sprinkle down the drain. Then pour vinegar over it and let it work for about 10 minutes.
Clean burnt pans and pots with salt
If your pan has burned while preparing the dish, sprinkle salt on the spot where the marks are visible, add water and let it stand for ten minutes. Then heat the water until it boils, then wipe off the residue with a sponge.
Wash the kitchen sponges with salt
To extend the life of your kitchen sponge, place it in a container filled with water and a little salt. Slide it into the water, then pop the bowl in the microwave and it'll be as good as new in a few minutes!
Cool the drink faster with salt
This is the perfect trick for hot summer days! To quickly cool the drink, place it under ice and sprinkle salt over the ice. Due to the salt, the ice will melt faster, which means that the drinks will cool down much faster.
Clean the broken egg from the surface with salt
Anyone who has ever dropped an egg knows what a pain it is to clean surfaces afterwards. To save paper towels and save yourself nerves, pour this liquid over the salt, wait for the egg to harden, then wipe the stain in one go with a cloth.
