Salt

Salt of the earth. So basic, so useful. Salt can be used as an antibacterial scrubber and a way to give new life to the old. Some of the ways to use salt to clean and disinfect include: Give new life to wicker furniture, remove wine stains and grease stains from carpet, give new life to sponges by soaking them in a salt solution, clean residue from glass, use as an ingredient in potpourri air fresheners, banish fleas, remove stains from enamel pans, and brighten cutting boards.
