Try using salt around the house!

Stinky Thermos - Put 1 teaspoon salt and hot water in thermos. Shake and rinse.

Sprinkle salt where you have ants and watch them disappear!

To get rid of mildew without the use of chemicals - Mix together 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt. Stir until dissolved. Tear paper towels in half and dip into solution. I used this solution to clean the mildew and dirt in the tracks of my sliding glass door, and around the windows. It worked beautifully! No fumes!

Salted water boils faster and hotter, and reduces cooking time.

To patch small nail holes and fine cracks in plaster or wallboard, mix 2 tablespoons salt, 2 tablespoons cornstarch and about 4 to 5 teaspoons water to make a thick, pliable paste. Fill hole and let dry. Sand if necessary, then paint.
