5 Surprising Benefits of Salt

Cleaning Clogged Sinks

Foul smell and grease in sinks are common household problems. To get rid of that pungent smell and accumulation of oil, dirt, and food in your sinks, all you need to do is add a pinch of salt with a dash of vinegar and some hot water to it. 

Cleaning Chopping Boards

To make your chopping board look as good as a new one, you need to simply sprinkle an adequate quantity of salt all over the board, then add a few drops of sliced lemon to it. Rinse the mixture thoroughly after five minutes.

 Cleaning Coffee and Tea Mugs

Pour a dash of salt with a small quantity of dish soap into your cups, swirl the mixture for some time and rinse it off to get absolutely clean mugs and cups.

Mouthwash

To remove food stuck in between teeth or to get rid of bad breath, you can mix 1 tablespoon of salt with 1 tablespoon of baking soda in half a cup of water. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with this mixture. 

Scrub

Salt acts as a natural scrub that detoxifies your face by removing excess oil and dirt. To make the mixture, just grab half a cup of olive oil and blend it well with one-fourth salt. Apply it evenly on your skin.
