Fundamental in the kitchen because otherwise no dish would have flavor, this element is a precious resource even at home!
In fact, it can help solve several problems that we encounter in everyday life, let’s immediately see why it is important to use it daily!

In fact, the greatest property of this ingredient is its anti-limescale, which is why it is also widely used in the washing machine and dishwasher!
All you have to do is dissolve 3 tablespoons of coarse salt in 500 ml of water , then add the juice of 1 lemon and transfer to a spray bottle.
Spray the solution on affected areas, such as bathroom faucets, showers, or kitchen sinks, and scrub with a nonabrasive sponge.
Say goodbye to limestone!
For bad odors
Another solution represented by salt is to get rid of bad odors!
The cleaning action is also associated with an excellent ability to absorb unpleasant odors, I will tell you right away how to use it.
The only thing you have to do is put the salt in a small bowl and leave it in the areas where you can smell the smell . You can also add a few drops of essential oil so that the smell spreads better.

for steel
Steel is a cross and a delight in all kitchens! Beautiful because it is always shiny, but often becomes difficult to process because it scratches easily.
When there are difficult stains, coarse salt comes to our rescue!
You will have to mix boiling water with 1 tablespoon of salt until you obtain a kind of cream, so do not abuse the amount of water, otherwise it will be too liquid.
Once a gel consistency is obtained , spread the mixture on a non-abrasive sponge and rub on the steel elements.

Floors
It may sound strange, but even floors can be perfect with a handful of salt!
In fact, for some surfaces, it is also effective against stains.
All you have to do is put 1 tablespoon of dissolved salt in the bucket of water and mop the floors.
Attention! I remind you once again that you must first dissolve the salt, otherwise you risk scratching the tiles.
Absorbs moisture
When humidity starts to enter the house, salt is always the right solution!
Especially in winter, it is a real salvation because it has the ability to naturally absorb ambient humidity.
Simply put a jar full of coarse salt in the areas of the house where you see the humidity is highest.
As the salt absorbs it, it will become more liquid, in which case you will need to replace it and use the salt in the jar for one of the things listed.
in the washing machine
As mentioned above, this fantastic ingredient is also perfect in the washing machine!
It can be used in vacuum washing to eliminate lime and mold, just put 1/2 kg of product inside the basket and start washing.
Remember to use high temperatures, otherwise the salt granules will not dissolve well.
Additionally, a measuring cup in the drum with your clothes is great for bleaching and softening clothes , as the salt makes the water composition less heavy.
Dishwasher
Effective in the washing machine, but especially in the dishwasher!
Also in this case you can use salt to wash vacuum , always putting half a kg of product in the bottom and starting the wash at high temperature.
It’s also great for dissolving and spraying dishes before putting them in the basket for shiny, water-free dishes.
In short, an essential product!

Salt is an excellent conductor of aromas, so it will look great in your closet and drawers.
