Tuesday's Tips & Tricks

Feel free to use these on your blog. Please provide a link back to me :)

Here are 4 things to do with Table Salt:

1.  De-Ice your doorway in the winter ~ Keep a container of it near the front door.  Sprinkle it over the front steps to prevent icy falls.

2.  Remove odors from your hands ~ Dip your fingers in salt moistened by vinegar and rub together.  Will remove strong smells, such as garlic and other spices.

3.  Scrub kitchen grease stains ~ Just sprinkle salt on the stain and wipe with a sponge.

4.  Set tie-dye ~ After creating your tie-dyed item, soak it in a mixture of two cups warm water to 1/3 c.  salt for 20 minutes so colors won't run in the wash.

One thing NOT to do with table salt ~ Do not clean wine stains with it - salt actually sets the color.
