Salt is one of the oldest aromas. Without salt we cannot imagine the flavor of our favorite dishes.
But here are 15 proofs that salt doesn’t just belong to cooking.
It’s much more useful.
The best chemical-free weed killer
How are weed killers prepared?
Mix 4 liters of vinegar with 250 g of salt and 1 teaspoon of detergent.
Mix this mixture in a container with a spray bottle and spray directly on the weeds. Weeds will wilt after applying this solution.
Simple, but tested last year and very effective – it’s also great for weeds and grass invading paving or ornamental cobbles.
We had this problem on our patio too and this product got rid of the weeds right away.
I simply collected the wilted pieces in a bucket.
The best washing machine cleaner and odor remover
My mother-in-law told me that vinegar alone isn’t enough to get rid of the smell, and that’s actually true.
Try it and you will be amazed at what this combination can do!
We need to:
1 liter of vinegar
1 kg of common salt (I didn’t have any at home, so I used ¾ of it).
Procedure:
Pour the salt into the empty washing machine and pour in the vinegar.
Set the temperature to 90 degrees and activate the cycle.
Once the water is heated to this temperature, turn it off and let it sit for 3-4 hours.
Then just activate the rinse without wringing. For me this procedure saved my washing machine, the laundry smells good again and I don’t even need fabric softener.
I only add detergent and vinegar here and there to the washing machine.
The drain is free at the moment
We need to:
200 g of salt
200 g of baking powder
(You can also use half the mixture or save the rest for later – you never know when you’ll need it).
150 ml of heated vinegar
Boiling water
Procedure:
Mix the powder with salt , mix well and pour into the drain.
You don’t need to spend the entire lot, the rest can be used later. For better dusting, use a sugar bowl for example. Pour a cup of heated vinegar over the mixture.
Then pour hot water down the drain.
That’s it, the drain is free again! 🙂
Protects your shower curtain from mold
After purchase, simply wash the shower curtain in salt water. Mold doesn’t stand a chance.
In washing, in milk, even if you don’t have time to wash
and above all so that they have a softer consistency, add a little salt at the beginning of whipping.
If you have opened a package of milk or cream, know that they will last much longer if you add a little salt.
A small amount of salt won’t change the flavor, but it will save you money.
My grandmother always did this when she didn’t want to lose her precious milk. 🙂
If you have bought a new towel, which you use for the first time, you know how beautiful it is.
However, towels lose their softness and ability to suck with gradual washing, are unpleasant to the touch and have the most fragrant smell. To avoid this sensation, add 1 cup of salt to your wash at the first opportunity.
This way the towels will be in perfect condition.
If you haven’t had time to wash your shirt or t-shirt and are worried about bad odors, try this trick.
Mix 4 tablespoons of salt with 1 liter of hot water.
Spray on the underarm areas and when the liquid dries, the smell disappears too. Furthermore, this idea will help you remove yellow stains from white laundry more easily.
Relieves itching
A mosquito bite can be a real pain. However, you can solve the itching immediately: just mix the salt with a little water to get the consistency of a paste. Apply to the sting area and you’re done.
Pour the shampoo over it
Furthermore, salt helps fight dandruff and absorbs grease , which is excessive especially in fast-drying hair.
Even ordinary table salt can do all this, and sea salt contains valuable vitamins and minerals found in sea water and supplies them to your hair.
All you have to do is add 1 teaspoon of salt to your usual shampoo and wash your hair as usual.
Or you can sprinkle a little salt in each shampoo. The hair will stay fresh for longer and maintain its fluffy volume.
