List of Ingredients
-Soak a new straw broom in a bucket of hot, salted water to increase its lifespan.
- If red wine is spilled on a tablecloth or rug, blot up as much as possible and immediately cover the spot with salt to absorb the remaining wine.
Later, rinse the tablecloth with cold water, or scrape the salt up from the rug and vacuum.
- Remove white rings left on tables caused by wet or hot dishes and glasses, by rubbing a thin paste of salad oil and salt on the spot and letting the mixture stand for an hour or two.
- Soak new candles in a strong salt solution for a few hours and then dry to reduce dripping wax. - Remove stains in vases by rubbing with salt or soaking in a strong salt solution. - Keep fresh cut flowers perky by adding a dash of salt to the water in the vase.
- For frost-free windows, rub the inside of the window with a sponge dipped in a saltwater solution and wipe dry.
- Use salt and cinnamon to eliminate the "burned food" odor away from your oven and stove burners. Sprinkle spills with a combination of salt and cinnamon while the oven or its burners are still hot. When dry (and the oven or burners have cooled), remove the salted spots with a stiff brush or cloth.
- Regularly pour hot, strongly salted water down the kitchen sink to eliminate odors and reduce grease build up.
- Does something smell fishy? Dip a lemon wedge in salt and rub the item (hands, cutting board, counter) and rinse with water.
- Mix a half a cup of salt and soda to a gallon of water to wash away stains and odors inside your refrigerator.
- Add a pinch of salt to coffee grounds before brewing. The salt enhances the true coffee flavor by removing some of the acid taste.
