We all know that salt on food tastes good but it can be used for so many other things (besides putting salt on a slug to kill it) Make sure to always keep the salt handy when you are done learning out these great tips...
- Clean vegetables more easily. If you're having a hard time trying to get the last pieces of grit off of a vegetable or herb, give it a bath in salt water.
- Chill drinks faster. Because salt lowers the freezing point of water, your beverages will cool more quickly if you use salt in your cooler.
- Keep your milk fresh by adding a pinch of salt to it after you open it.
- If you are cooking beets and you have beet-stained hands, sprinkle the affected area with salt and a drop of dish washing liquid and rub.
- Freshen shoes odors by sprinkling salt in them and leaving them overnight. The salt will absorb moisture and odors.
- Got dandruff? No worries, rub 2 tablespoons of salt into your scalp before shampooing and your flakes will be gone.
- What to do when you have poison ivy? To help relive the itching of a rash, soak the affected area in a strong salt bath. Make sure the water is warm to fully get the itch out.
- If you are having trouble sleeping, try this salty tip: At bedtime, drink a glass of water, then let a pinch of salt dissolve on your tongue, making sure it doesn't touch the roof of your mouth. Studies have shown that the combination of salt and water can induce a deep sleep.
