Salt is useful in cooking to give a more decisive taste to dishes, making any first course, second course or side dish even tastier and tastier.

However, few know that it can be used in the kitchen not for cooking, but also  for degreasing the sink  and cleaning the smelly drain.

We all know that for good luck,  you should not throw it on the table  , because it is said to bring bad luck, but no one has ever said anything about the habit of  pouring it into the sink, whether the kitchen or bathroom sink  .

This is why it is recommended to use salt in the sink

The question is: what is the point of  throwing salt down the sink  ? The answer is one and it is clear, it even allows us to say  goodbye to detergents once and for all. As strange as it may seem, we use them to clean, degrease and disinfect the surfaces of any room in the house,  in reality it only has the opposite effect. 

Detergents indicated for washing and disinfecting the sink, cleaning and polishing on site, being aggressive in the long term, not only do not clear the pipes but clog them and cause the stench to spread slowly. Many detergents have difficulty disappearing, so in addition to food residue, mold, etc., these  also affect the formation of bad odors. 

How to Use Salt to Clean the Sink and Clear the Drain

In this case, the salt used in the following way is more than useful. Mix half a cup of vinegar with half the salt,  pour the solution prepared at home directly into the drain, whether it is the kitchen sink, the bathroom sink or why not, the bidet, the toilet, bathtub or shower. .

Immediately afterwards,  the sink is closed with a cloth,  sponge or with the sink stopper itself and leaves the solution to act for a maximum of 20 or 30 minutes. Once the liquid is gone, simply clean the sink with hot water and detergent, even in a small amount, otherwise the work done will be completely useless.

In the end the sink will be completely clean and disinfected, free of bad odors, it will remain a good smell for days which will easily spread throughout the house.
