8 things you can clean with salt

4. Cutting board

After a while, cutting boards can get pretty dirty. While you may wash them after every use, it’s hard to get them looking like new. And then you’ve got wood cutting boards- you can’t put them in the dishwasher making them even harder to get completely clean. Thankfully, we’ve got a nifty trick to fix that. The salt and lemon combination does wonders for cutting boards, too. Sprinkle some salt on the cutting board and rub it in using a lemon. This will help get out even the hardest of stains.

5. Clogged drains

Having troubles with clogged drains? You don’t need to go out and buy an expensive drain cleaner. Just a bit of salt is enough. Put salt in the drains and rinse it thoroughly with warm water for two minutes. Good as new!

6. Coffee and tea stains

Can’t seem to get your mugs completely clean no matter how hard you try? Salt will do the trick here, too. Put some salt on a damp cloth and rub it on the stains. In no time your mugs will be spotless!

7. Absorbing stains

Salt works on all kinds of stains. It’s especially good at picking up and absorbing stains. Spill something on the rug? Quickly sprinkle some salt on the stain. This will help make the stains easier to get out.

8. A scrub

The point of taking a shower is to get clean. So, it makes sense to want to get rid of your dead skin cells too. You could go out and buy a scrub, but all the microplastics they put in them aren’t good for the environment. Sea salt, on the other hand, gets the job done as well. Take 100 grams of sea salt and mix it with 100 milliliters of oil. This could be almond oil, argan oil, or coconut oil. Then add a few drops of essential oils to give your scrub a nice scent. Mix it well and you can use your new scrub!
