SIXTY (Plus) USES OF SALT

Although you may not realize it, simple table salt has a
great number of uses other than simply seasoning your
food. The following list will give you sixty uses of
salt, many of which you probably didn't realize:

If you drop a whole egg on the floor, pour salt all over
the egg, let it sit for awhile, then use dustpan, the egg
will come up, without all that mess. Contributed by Ms.
Jerry McGinnis,

Soak stained hankies in salt water before washing.

Sprinkle salt on your shelves to keep ants away.

Soak fish in salt water before descaling; the scales will
come off easier.

Put a few grains of rice in your salt shaker for easier
pouring.

Add salt to green salads to prevent wilting.

Test the freshness of eggs in a cup of salt water; fresh
eggs sink; bad ones float.

Add a little salt to your boiling water when cooking
eggs; a cracked egg will stay in its shell this way.

A tiny pinch of salt with egg whites makes them beat up
fluffier.

Soak wrinkled apples in a mildly salted water solution to
perk them up.

Rub salt on your pancake griddle and your flapjacks won't
stick.

Soak toothbrushes in salt water before you first use
them; they will last longer.

Use salt to clean your discolored coffee pot.

Mix salt with turpentine to whiten you bathtub and toilet
bowl.

Soak your nuts in salt brine overnight and they will
crack out of their shells whole. Just tap the end of the
shell with a hammer to break it open easily.

Boil clothespins in salt water before using them and they
will last longer.

Clean brass, copper and pewter with paste made of salt
and vinegar, thickened with flour

Add a little salt to the water your cut fs will stand in
for a longer life.

Pour a mound of salt on an ink spot on your carpet; let
the salt soak up the stain.

Clean your iron by rubbing some salt on the damp cloth on
the ironing surface.

Adding a little salt to the water when cooking foods in a
double boiler will make the food cook faster.

Use a mixture of salt and lemon juice to clean piano
keys.

To fill plaster holes in your walls, use equal parts of
salt and starch, with just enough water to make a stiff
putty.

Rinse a sore eye with a little salt water.

Mildly salted water makes an effective mouthwash. Use it
hot for a sore throat gargle.

Dry salt sprinkled on your toothbrush makes a good tooth
polisher.

Use salt for killing weeds in your lawn.

Eliminate excess suds with a sprinkle of salt.

A dash of salt in warm milk makes a more relaxing
beverage.

Before using new glasses, soak them in warm salty water
for awhile.

A dash of salt enhances the taste of tea.

Salt improves the taste of cooking apples.

Soak your clothes line in salt water to prevent your
clothes from freezing to the line; likewise, use salt in
your final rinse to prevent the clothes from freezing.

Rub any wicker furniture you may have with salt water to
prevent yellowing.

Freshen sponges by soaking them in salt water.

Add raw potatoes to stews and soups that are too salty.

Soak enamel pans in salt water overnight and boil salt
water in them next day to remove burned-on stains.

Clean your greens in salt water for easier removal of
dirt.

Gelatin sets more quickly when a dash of salt is added.

Fruits put in mildly salted water after peeling will not
discolor.

Fabric colors hold fast in salty water wash.

Milk stays fresh longer when a little salt is added.

Use equal parts of salt and soda for brushing your teeth.

Sprinkle salt in your oven before scrubbing clean.

Soaked discolored glass in a salt and vinegar solution to
remove stains.

Clean greasy pans with a paper towel and salt.

Salty water boils faster when cooking eggs.

Add a pinch of salt to whipping cream to make it whip
more quickly.

Sprinkle salt in milk-scorched pans to remove odour.

A dash of salt improves the taste of coffee.

Boil mismatched hose in salty water and they will come
out matched.

Salt and soda will sweeten the odor of your refrigerator.

Cover wine-stained fabric with salt; rinse in cool water
later.

Remove offensive odors from stove with salt and cinnamon.

A pinch of salt improves the flavor of cocoa.

To remove grease stains in clothing, mix one part salt to
four parts alcohol.

Salt and lemon juice removes mildew.

Sprinkle salt between sidewalk bricks where you don't
want grass growing.

Polish your old kerosene lamp with salt for a ber look.

Remove odors from sink drainpipes with a strong, hot
solution of salt water.

If a pie bubbles over in your oven, put a handful of salt
on top of the spilled juice. The mess won't smell and
will bake into a dry, light crust which will wipe off
easily when the oven has cooled.

There is a so-called no-salt brine available for those
who don't use salt. Feel free to let the author of the
article know about your comments about language usage.

A lot of those seem good ideas but a few are urban legends or old wives'
tales.

I don't think putting small amounts of salt in water increases the
boiling point by any appreciable amount.

I don't believe that salt does anything to the plastic bristles of a
tooth brush.

Neither do I believe that salt enhances tea tho' a Tibetan putting salty
rancid butter into it might disagree.

I'll have to try the surprising cooked apple idea.

1% solution (10g per litre) gives a 0.17C increase in boiling point; a saturated solution (about 35% by weight) gets you all of 8C. Not about to replace the pressure cooker!

Reduces perception of bitterness. It's a traditional additive to Navy coffee. Better to make good coffee, not too-strong over-cooked coffee. It would need to be right nasty tea to benefit (likewise for cocoa).

How is that a use of salt?

Sure they will.

This sounds both awkward and painful.
