The 4 Uses of Salt in the Home: Your Most Valuable (and Economical) Cleaning Ally

3. On Pots and Pans: Remove Stubborn Stains

Pots and pans can easily become encrusted with food residues—especially after high-heat cooking. But you don’t need harsh chemicals to clean them.

How to use it:
Make a paste using salt and water, and gently scrub the burnt or stained areas.
⚠️ Caution: Use with care on non-stick or delicate surfaces, as the abrasiveness of salt could damage them.

4. On Stains: Absorb and Lift Spills

Salt is excellent for absorbing fresh stains from winejuice, or other liquids on fabric or carpet.

How to use it:
Sprinkle a generous amount of salt directly on the stain. Let it sit and absorb the liquid, then vacuum or shake off the excess.
Follow up with mild soap and water if needed.
