Salt has been used by mankind for over 5,000 years. It is used at home and in various industries - for cooking, as a preservative, for extinguishing fires, in glass production.
Experienced housewives also do not limit themselves to cooking, because these white crystals have amazing capabilities, which can be used in everyday life.
1. Removing red wine stains
Red wine is a strong dye and every woman's nightmare. To get rid of a stain on fabric left by spilled wine, you will need a strong powder, a stain remover and a couple of ancient spells. But even this does not always help. But ordinary table salt does.
This technique works best when the stain is still fresh.
First, rinse the stain with plenty of clean water, then sprinkle it with salt. Leave it for 10-15 minutes. Rub the fabric gently, then rinse with water.
2. Restoring the color of old clothes
If your favorite dress or shirt is looking worn and faded, simply soak it in a solution of water and salt or add salt to the wash. You will be surprised by the result.
3. Skin scrub
Salt can also be a great alternative to expensive skin care products. A homemade scrub made from these miraculous white crystals removes dead skin, improves blood circulation, and leaves your skin smooth and beautifully colored.
Apply salt to a damp, steamed face, mixing it with oil, soap or cleansing gel. Massage your face in circular motions. Sea salt is the most effective.
5. Alternative to toothpaste
Surely you have ever been in a situation where you ran out of toothpaste and forgot to buy a new one. In this case, instead of toothpaste, you can use regular salt, simply dipping a wet toothbrush into it. You will be surprised how well it cleans your teeth. The only thing to consider is the size of the fraction. The smaller, the better.
Salt can also be mixed with toothpaste. Due to its antibacterial properties, salt perfectly cleans plaque and disinfects the oral cavity.
You can also make a salt solution for rinsing your mouth. Just dissolve the salt in water, pour it into a convenient bottle and place it in the bathroom.
6. Checking the freshness of eggs
Sometimes you have eggs in your fridge, but you can't remember when you bought them. It's unclear whether they can be eaten. If you find yourself in this situation, try a simple test.
Add 2 tablespoons of salt to a cup of water and put an egg in it. If the egg lies on the bottom, it is fresh. If it stands upright, it is not very fresh, but is probably edible. If it floats, it is very old and should not be eaten.
These are not all the possibilities of salt. With its help you can get rid of dandruff, stimulate hair growth, make the skin of the lips soft and tender, strengthen nails.
