You can find hundreds of different tips for the kitchen. However, most of them ultimately turn out to be useless. Why not analyze really effective techniques that show excellent efficiency? Therefore, it is worth remembering why experienced housewives pour salt into the sink.

Cleaning and disinfection

Salt has cleaning and disinfecting properties. When you pour salt into the sink with a little water, it can help clean and disinfect the surface.

This is especially useful if there is any grease or other debris left in the sink.

Fighting unpleasant odors

Salt can also help combat unpleasant odors that sometimes occur in sinks. Its absorbent properties can absorb odors, leaving the sink feeling "fresh" and clean.

Useful properties for clogged pipes

If clogs have started to form in the pipes, regular salt can also help. The trick is very simple: you need to pour some salt into the sewer pipes and pour boiling water over everything.

Of course, this is only about prevention. If the blockage is serious, this method may not help to achieve the desired effect.

Corrosion protection

Adding salt to your sink can also help prevent corrosion of the metal parts of your drain system.

This is especially important in hard water areas where corrosion can be a problem.

It is worth remembering that salt, if used constantly, can provoke the development of corrosion. Therefore, it must be washed off after use.
