We all know how difficult it can be to keep our kitchens clean with high traffic, spills, drips, dirty dishes, and greasy pans. It seems like it is a never ending battle sometimes. Thankfully our ordinary table salt can be of greater use other than seasoning our foods.

10 Ways to Use Salt to Clean Your Kitchen

1. Clean up stove top spills by sprinkling with salt. It’s naturally mild abrasive quality; salt can easily remove stuck on spills.
2. Mask the odor of burned-on foods on your stove top burner by sprinkling the food with a mixture of salt and cinnamon. Wipe away the mixture immediately. The next time you use that burner you won’t have the smell of burned food through out your home.
3. Refresh your refrigerator by cleaning it with a mixture of equal parts salt and baking soda. With a damp sponge dipped in the mixture wipe down the inside of your refrigerator and rinse off with a clean wet sponge.
4. Remove coffee stains from mugs by rubbing the stain with salt and a little water. Then wash as normal.
5. Clean casserole dishes with stubborn baked on foods by adding 3 tablespoons of salt to boiling water. Pour the water into the dish and let stand until the water has cooled. Wash as usual.
6. Dirty pots and pans with excess grease can be easily cleaned by sprinkling the pot or pan with a generous amount of salt. Allow the salt to absorb the grease and wipe away with a paper towel before washing.
7. Remove odors from kitchen drains by pouring 1 cup of salt and 2 cups of hot water down the drain.
8. Brake up clogged or slow drains by pouring a mixture of equal parts salt, vinegar and baking soda down the drain. Let stand for an hour. Then pour boiling hot water down the drain.
9. Polish up your silverware by gently rubbing the silverware with salt and a soft cloth. For your fine silver, use a paste of 2 tablespoons of salt and a half a cup of vinegar. With a soft cloth gently rub the pieces in a circular motion. Rinse and hand dry with a dry soft cloth.
10. Eliminate odors in plastic container and thermoses. Sprinkle some salt into the container and cover with lid. Leave for several hours. Repeat if necessary.
