Table salt: it’s a culinary staple–and, unless you are watching your blood pressure,
chances are you have a big jar of it sitting in your cupboard at this
very moment. But, did you know that salt isn’t just good for cooking?
It’s also an important ingredient that can be used in some of the best
life hacks around.
Our
buddies over at Household Hacker created a video to show us all about
the wonders of table salt. In it, we are graced with a whopping 7
different ways salt can be used to make our lives easier. Here are our
favorites from the clip:
Do you routinely suffer from
messes after your little ones help you cook breakfast in the morning? If
so, you’re likely very well-acquainted with the fact that eggs are
much, MUCH stickier than you could ever imagine! The next time you are
dealing with an eggy mess, just grab your salt shaker and sprinkle a
generous amount of the crystals all over the cracked egg. The salt
contains properties that help the egg coagulate, making it very simple
to wipe away.
Grease fires are one of the leading causes of catastrophic home fires.
To nip one in the bud, simply grab a large jar of salt and pour it
directly onto the flames until it is no longer burning. This hack works
so well, that you might want to consider keeping a large jar right next
to the stove!
Is there anything grosser
than a bathtub drain that’s stopped up due to a humungous hairball? (We
hope you’re not eating your lunch while you’re reading this!) To get rid
of the nasty hair clumps, you can mix together roughly 1/4 cup of
baking soda and 1/4 cup of salt. After everything is mixed, shake it up
and run it down the drain. Next, pour a cup of white vinegar down the
drain, too. The reaction will look similar to a Mentos-Diet Coke science
project and is surprisingly effective at breaking up hair.
Fun fact: Did you know that ants absolutely HATE
salt? It’s true–the little buggers won’t go anywhere near the stuff,
which is why sprinkling the tiny crystals all over the ants and/or their
hangouts works very well. We love the trick because it’s effective and
is also all-natural–no more smelly, chemical-filled ant sprays!
Now
that you have these handy tips in your personal cleaning arsenal, it’s
time to unlock the other 3 salt-related life hacks. To learn about them
for yourself, be sure to watch Household Hacker’s video: click on this link --> (http://tiphero.com/creative-uses-for-salt/). With just
a pinch of salt, you, too, can transform into a domestic god or
goddess!
