My husband and I cook with a lot of Himalayan sea salt, and occasionally kosher salt. What I rarely use these days is table salt. We live in a tiny, albeit adorable, Cape Cod-style home. Every storage space is precious so what I don't feel like storing are canisters of table salt that go untouched for months. I decided to put my salt to good use with some of these creative household uses for salt!
1.Keep cut flowers fresher longer by mixing a tbsp of salt into the water. Once it's time to replace your flowers, rub 2-3 tbsp of salt onto the stains in your glass vase, then scrub clean with a damp brush or sponge.
3. Pour salt over any spilled eggs, before wiping up with a paper towel.
8. Pour salt immediately on any spilled wine or fruit stains on your tablecloth, clothes or linen napkins to absorb the stain. If it's a fruit stain, be sure to rub the salt into the stain while it's still wet. Then proceed to wash as normal with laundry.
