Chances are that you've heard about pouring salt down the toilet, but why you should do it remains beyond your comprehension.
In fact, although this habit may seem strange at first glance, it is not without practical meaning.
It will be especially useful for residents of houses in which pipes have been replaced for a long time.
It turns out that salt can help those who are looking for an environmentally friendly way to clean plumbing and do not agree to use aggressive chemicals for this purpose.
In addition, this product is so affordable that it is available in every kitchen, and it also has the properties necessary for maintaining cleanliness in the bathroom.
Salt can disinfect surfaces, absorb excess moisture and dissolve fatty deposits. It also effectively combats unpleasant odors.
Therefore, if a repulsive “aroma” starts coming from the pipes, try cleaning them with salt.
For a week, pour a glass of salt into the toilet every day, then pour in warm water.
Please note: the water should be warm, not hot. If you use boiling water, the plumbing and plastic pipes may be damaged.
Salt can also be useful in the fight against clogs in the sink. Pour some white crystals into the drain, then rinse it with water.
For a greater effect, you can mix salt with soda, and after this mixture is in the pipe, pour a few spoons of vinegar there.
After the reaction is complete, wait a couple more hours, and then you can try to flush the blockage with water.
