2. Shell Hard-Boiled Eggs With Ease
Ever wonder whether there’s a secret to peeling hardboiled eggs without breaking the shell into a million tiny pieces? There is, and now it’s out of the box! Add a teaspoon of salt to your water before placing the eggs in it to boil.
3. End the Ant Parade
If ants are beating a path to your home, intercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths. Ants will be discouraged from crossing this barrier.
4. Condition Your Skin
You’ve heard of bath salts, of course. Usually this conjures images of scented crystals that bubble up in your tub and may contain colouring and other stuff that leave a dreaded bath ring. Now strip that picture to its core, and you’ve got salt. Dissolve 1 cup table salt in your tub and soak as usual. Your skin will feel noticeably softer. Buy sea salt for a treat. It comes in larger chunks and can be found in health food stores or the gourmet section of a grocery store.
5. Erase Tea and Coffee Stains
Tea and coffee leave stains on cups and in pots. You can easily scrub away these unattractive rings by sprinkling salt onto a sponge and rubbing in little circles across the ring. If the stain persists, mix white vinegar with salt in equal proportions and rub with the sponge.
