Make it easier to clean, restore shine to dishes and remove odors from the cutting board.
1. Protect the sliced apples from browning
Apples darken because oxidation takes place in air. Salt slows it down.
Dissolve a teaspoon of salt in a liter of cold water and fill the slices with this solution. Let them sit for a few minutes, but no more than 10. Then drain the salt water and put the apples in the refrigerator. Before serving, rinse them with plain water so that there is no salty aftertaste. This tip also works with potatoes.
2. Chill drinks
To quickly chill a bottle of wine or other beverage, place it in a tall bowl filled with ice and salt. Put a layer of ice on the bottom of the dish, add a few tablespoons of salt on top. Alternate ice and salt until you reach the neck of the bottle. Pour water into the bowl so that it covers the ice. Your drink will cool in 10-12 minutes because the salt will speed up the process.
3. Clean the cutting board
To remove odors from your wood board, sprinkle generously with salt and rub the surface gently with a damp cloth. Then rinse with warm soapy water.
4. Remove the smell of garlic and onion from your hands
After chopping the garlic or onion, rub your hands with a mixture of salt and lemon juice, and then wash with soap and water. There will be no trace of an unpleasant smell. But keep in mind: if there are scratches on the skin, it will pinch a little.
5. Easily remove the broken egg
Sprinkle the spreading egg with salt and let sit for about 20 minutes. After that, it will be easy to collect it from any surface.
6. Prevent blockages in the drain
Pour half a glass of salt into the drain and fill it with a liter of hot water. You can also add half a glass of baking soda for more effect. Leave it on for 15 minutes, then rinse with running water. Do this once a week or two.
7. Return the shine to glassware
Mix a third of a glass of salt with two tablespoons of vinegar to form a gruel. If you want to clean a vase or large dish, double the amount of ingredients. Apply the mixture to the crockery and leave for 20 minutes. Then rub the surface with a sponge and rinse with water.
8. Get rid of plaque in tea and coffee cups
Wet a cup and rub over the darkened areas with a little salt. Drinks will wash off easily.
