Salt is not only an excellent seasoning for dishes. It is also a natural remedy for wellbeing and the home.
Over the years, salt has become an everyday product with a thousand virtues. Grandmothers recommend keeping a nice bag full of salt in the cupboard. Find out why.
Salt acts as a dehumidifier to combat humidity. This is because this condiment is hygroscopic, enabling it to absorb water from the air. So it’s a good idea to use it to get rid of damp in the cupboard.
So how do you go about it?
To use coarse salt in moisture-prone cupboards to combat unpleasant odours, simply place small canvas or tulle bags filled with coarse salt in the cupboard. You can also pour a few drops of the essential oil of your choice over the salt to combat dampness and perfume your closet with a subtle scent.
Another equally effective technique for using coarse salt in your dressing room is to fill a jar with the condiment, then cut holes in the lid. Simply place it in a corner of your closet and get rid of the dampness.
