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.

Barbara on Jul 15, 2016I always clean my glass coffee carafe with a few tbsp of salt and a few drips of water. it takes the coffee stains out and the carafe is sparkling clean again. I fill the carafe to overflowing after cleaning to make sure I've removed every trace of the salt to avoid 'salting' my next pot of coffee.
