We’ve reached the classic finale of viral internet home hacks! \ud83e\uddc2\ud83d\udebd<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the sensational name, a mixture of coarse salt and baking soda (sometimes with vinegar) is actually a proven and effective method for cleaning your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What exactly happens?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Disinfects and deodorizes: Coarse salt acts as a natural abrasive and dehydrating agent, killing bacteria and neutralizing unpleasant odors in the drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Removes limescale: In areas with hard water, the combination of salt and baking soda dissolves yellowish or brown deposits without damaging the ceramics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prevents minor blockages: Helps dissolve grease and organic matter in pipes before they become a bigger problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most frequently mentioned \u201crecipe\u201d in these articles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mix 100g of coarse salt with 100g of baking soda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Application: Pour the mixture into the toilet bowl (and around the rim) before going to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soaking time: Leave overnight so that the salt and baking soda kill bacteria and loosen the deposits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final step: In the morning, pour hot (not boiling, to prevent cracking the ceramic) water and flush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Warning: While salt helps with everyday cleaning, it will not remove stubborn blockages caused by foreign objects or deep-seated deposits in the pipes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
