For some reason, homely housewives leave table salt on the windowsills overnight, and others for a whole day.
Such habits have nothing to do with ritual activities and are considered purely everyday, and are remembered only in the cold season.
We'll tell you what will happen overnight if you leave salt on the windowsill.
Let's say right away that salt on the windowsill is needed to control air humidity.
During the night, condensation often settles on the glass. Obeying the laws of physics, the water flows down, collects in puddles on the windowsills and leaves red spots.
If there is a lot of water, mold may appear on the frames, slopes, the wallpaper will become damp and peel off. It is impossible to foresee all the troubles.
What does salt have to do with it?
Salt is the most readily available ingredient that absorbs moisture.
In addition, salt can be dried after it gets wet and used for the same purpose again, sprinkled on icy paths or used for other purposes besides cooking.
How to proceed
It’s very simple, you need to pour salt into suitable shallow and wide containers or into ordinary saucers and leave it on the windowsill.
As a result, it will be possible to normalize the humidity in the room, which can cause an unpleasant smell of dampness.
By the way, if the problem with condensation cannot be solved with folk remedies, then you need to ventilate the apartment more often, remove unnecessary flowers from the window, check the operation of the ventilation and dry clothes in the rooms less often.
