Multipurpose Salt

Salt

Try using salt around the house!

Stinky Thermos - Put 1 teaspoon salt and hot water in thermos. Shake and rinse.

Sprinkle salt where you have ants and watch them disappear!

To get rid of mildew without the use of chemicals - Mix together ¼ cup lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt. Stir until dissolved. Tear paper towels in half and dip into solution. I used this solution to clean the mildew and dirt in the tracks of my sliding glass door, and around the windows. It worked beautifully! No fumes!

Tip: Salted water boils faster and hotter and reduces cooking time.

To patch small nail holes and fine cracks in plaster or wallboard, mix 2 tablespoons salt, 2 tablespoons cornstarch and about 4 to 5 teaspoons water to make a thick, pliable paste. Fill h*** and let dry. Sand if necessary, then paint.
