8 ways to clean utensils with salt

Not only does salt add flavor to food, it is also an ingredient that helps housewives clean the house surprisingly cheaply and effortlessly.

Not only used for pickling vegetables, making kimchi, cooking or seasoning food, salt also has the effect of cleaning the house and has completely unexpected uses for cleaning the house that will surprise you and make you regret not knowing about it sooner! With only about 1kg of salt (about 2000 - 5000 VND), you have a surprisingly cheap house cleaning ingredient.

1. Cleaning a cast iron pan

A cast iron pan that has been used for a long time will often have grease and food stains that are difficult to remove, making the pan no longer as beautiful as it was at first.

But you can use half a potato (the fresher the better) and a little salt. Move the half potato on the salt all over the pan, then rinse with clean water, the stains on the pan will completely disappear.

2. Cleaning fabric flowers

Flowers made of fabric or silk are beautiful, but they attract dust. If washed like clothes, they will "wither".

Instead of throwing away the flowers, you can put them in a paper bag, add a few spoons of salt and shake the bag several times. The dust on the flowers will be absorbed by the salt grains, leaving you with clean flowers like new.

3. Clean cups and dishes

Have you ever drank coffee or tea and then forgotten to wash the cup? And then the next day you discovered that the cup had stains that were hard to clean?

With just a spoon of salt + a spoon of white vinegar, you put it in a cup, then shake well so that this mixture sticks around the stained area. Wait a few minutes, then wash again, these stains will completely disappear without you having to use force to scrub.

4. Weed control

Mix one part salt with three parts boiling water, dissolve and pour into the area where you want to kill weeds. This is a very simple way to kill weeds without using toxic herbicides.

5. Cleaning the toilet

No need to use smelly toilet cleaners. You can clean your toilet with just salt, borax, baking soda and essential oils.

Ingredient:

½ cup salt
½ cup borax
½ cup baking soda
15 drops of essential oil
A perforated jar (like a pepper shaker) to ensure the mixture is not exposed to air – the salt can dissolve if not sealed.

Making:

Mix all of these ingredients together and put them in a jar. Sprinkle the mixture into the toilet bowl, let it sit for about 15 minutes, then scrub it with a toilet brush and flush. Once done, your toilet bowl will be clean and smell great again.

6. Brighten metal objects (gold, silver, tin, copper...)

You can mix salt, flour and vinegar. Use a sponge or soft cloth to rub on the surface of the item that needs to be brightened. Leave it for about 1 hour, then rinse with clean water and dry. You will see them surprisingly bright and new.

7. Clean the refrigerator

With a mixture of salt and soda water, the stains in the refrigerator will disappear completely, and return the refrigerator to a perfect scent.

8. Remove stains on the table

Stains from tea or coffee spilled from cups that stick to the table for a long time will be very difficult to remove.

But you can mix some cooking oil and salt, then use a soft cloth to rub the table surface. This method not only helps remove these stains but also makes the table surface shinier and brighter.
