From cleaning your egg spills to removing hair clogs from your toilet drain, these hacks will absolutely blow your mind. I would never imagine any of these til I watch and apply some of them to my routine. Learn the following by watching the video tutorial below.

#1 Iron Salt

If something melts in your iron and it becomes sticky, turn it on high and let it warm up. After this, sprinkle a generous amount of salt in a wax paper, then move the iron back and forth over the salt for a minute. The salt will grab the residue and clamp it up onto the paper.

#2 Salt for Spills

Clean up a spilled egg by sprinkling a generous amount of salt over it. Let it sit for ten to fifteen minutes. After this, wipe it off with a paper towel.

#3 Salt for Grease Fire

Pour some salt directly onto the flames when a grease fire suddenly occurs during cooking.

#4 Salt for Burnt Food

Cover the inside of a burnt pan with a generous amount of salt, then add a bit of water. Shake it for a few minutes, then rinse off to remove any grease and food particles.

#5 Salt for Sponges

Add a 1/4 cup of salt in a tub with 2 cups of water. Mix to dissolve the salt, then soak the greased sponge and leave it overnight.

#6 Salt for Bathtub Stains

Mix an equal amount of salt and turpentine and stir the mixture. Put on some safety gloves, then proceed to apply the abrasive salt and turpentine into a sponge and scrub away the stubborn bathtub stains.

#7 Salt for Hair Clogs

Clear hair as much as possible from your bathtub’s drain, then combine 1/4 cup of baking soda and 1/4 cup of salt. Mix them, then pour them directly into the clogged drain. After this, pour about half a cup of white vinegar as well. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then pour hot water down the drain to clear out any remaining mixture.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
