Why some housewives keep salt on their windowsills, you can't guess right away. Outwardly it looks like some kind of amulet, love spell or other ritual, but in reality it has nothing to do with omens.
But the benefit of storing salt in this way is quite material and tangible.
Some people sprinkle salt on the windowsill in bulk, while others prefer to keep it in capacious containers. And here's what's strange: it appears only in the autumn-winter period, when the heating is turned on in apartment buildings.
It's all very simple. Salt is stored on windowsills to combat high humidity, or more precisely condensation, which causes water to drip from the glass during the day.
Then aesthetic problems arise – red spots appear on the windowsills, the curtains get dirty.
Another problem comes next – high humidity. If you don’t remove the water, it will inevitably lead to mold, which is fraught with health problems.
How to proceed
It's very simple. Pour salt into a suitable container, you can use several such containers, and put it on the windowsill.
The salt will absorb moisture and prevent condensation from settling on the glass.
The filler needs to be changed approximately once every 2-3 days, but the used salt is not thrown away – it is easier to dry it in the oven or in a frying pan and put it to use again.
Even if the salt hardens, it can be broken, crushed, and ground. Hydrogel can be used instead of salt, but this is a more expensive method compared to the cost of one kilogram of table salt.
