Amazing Uses of Salt

1) Let Copper Items Shine Like New
salt, tips, uses
To keep your copper kettles and the like sparkling, mix some salt with vinegar and flour (and some optional lemon juice) and rub the surface of the item. 
2)  Keep Oil from Spitting Out
salt, tips, uses
Once you've heated up your cooking oil, add a little salt. By doing so, you will limit the amount of splashing and splattering, once you've added your fish or meat to the pan.
3)  Make Candles Non-Drip
salt, tips, uses
Did you know that you can actually prevent candle wax from dripping? Salt can really help you do so. Simply soak your candle in a concentrated salt solution overnight. Then, once the candle has thoroughly dried out, light it. Easy.
4) Keep Ants Away
salt, tips, uses
To keep ants from infesting your house and garden, make a 1:4 ratio salt solution and pour it into a spray bottle. Spray where you like to prevent them from ever wanting to come back again. 

5) Keep Sliced Fruit and Veg from Browning
salt, tips, uses
To keep any chopped fruit or veg from turning brown, simply place them in a bowl or pan filled with salt water.
6)  Rid Your Hands of Onion Smell
salt, tips, uses
It may seem that you can never get the strong smell of garlic and onions from your hands, after chopping and handling them, but it's actually no trouble at all, if only you know what to do. First, you need to wet your hands with water, then give them a thorough rubbing over with table salt. Now rinse. Done.
7)  Produce a Natural Home-Made Air Freshener
salt, tips, uses
Whether you use some orange peel or a normal bowl, to make air freshener all you need is 1/2 to 1 cup of salt mixed with 20 or 30 drops of your chosen essential oil (or use rose petals). Now you can have a naturally wonderful smelling room.
8) Put Kitchen Fires Out Properly
salt, tips, uses
If you are cooking a particularly greasy meal, you really want to keep a large container of salt nearby. Grease fires can easily get out of control, but, luckily, all you need to do is pour salt onto the flames to starve them of oxygen and put them out instantly.

9) Maintain a Clean Sink
salt, tips, uses
Make a paste with lemon juice and salt and use it to wipe your sink with. Chemical cleaners can cost a lot of money, and they don't do nearly as good a job of cleaning stainless steel sinks as this hot tip does.

Surprising Uses for Cream of Tartar

Cream of tartar, which is actually a byproduct of the winemaking process, is an acidic powder that is typically used in baking to stabilize eggs and creams, as well as adding volume and thickness to the final product. But I recently discovered that baking is just the tip of the iceberg with this inconspicuous powder!
The acidic nature of cream of tartar also makes it an excellent non-toxic cleaning agent for all sorts of jobs around the house, and can even be used to ward off bugs and treat laundry stains! After finding all of these great ways to use cream of tartar, I promise I’ll never take that little can for granted again!

Deter Ants

If ants are gathering on your driveway or sidewalks, sprinkle some cream of tartar to deter them away from the area.

Tackle Tough Jobs

Add hydrogen peroxide to a small bowl of cream of tartar, just enough to make a paste. Rub the paste on tough stains like rings in the bathtub, tough spots in the kitchen, and spills in the fridge. Allow the paste to dry out before wiping, then rinse the surface with water.
Uses for Cream of Tartar

Stain Remover

Make a paste of cream of tartar mixed with lemon juice to lift stains on clothing and carpets. Let the paste sit for an hour or two, then either machine wash as usual, or blot with a damp cloth. This mixture works well on ink stains!
Uses for Cream of Tartar

Kitchen Cleaner

Make a paste of cream of tartar mixed with white vinegar to make a great all-purpose kitchen cleaner. Use it on burner pans, grout lines, ovens, sinks, and to clean up mold and mildew. Store in a squeeze bottle for easy application.
Uses for Cream of Tartar

Collar Stains

Apply cream of tartar directly to stains around shirt collars. Dampen the collar area with water, sprinkle with cream of tartar, then rub the powder into the stain. Launder as usual.
Uses for Cream of Tartar

Scratched Dishes

Make a paste of cream of tartar and water to scrub away scratches or stains on your dishes and mugs. Simply apply the paste, scrub with your fingers or a sponge, and rinse with water. (Barkeeper’s Friend would be more effective, but if you have cream of tartar on hand, it’s good in a pinch!)
Uses for Cream of Tartar

Coffee Pot

Clean stains and residue out of your coffee pot by sprinkling cream of tartar inside. Add boiling water to fill the pot, let the pot cool to room temperature, and rinse well.
Uses for Cream of Tartar

Make Baking Powder

Make your own baking powder by mixing one part baking soda with 2 parts cream of tartar. (The resulting baking powder is gluten free, unlike several brands you find in stores!)
Uses for Cream of Tartar

Homemade Playdough

Make homemade playdough by mixing 1 cup of flour, 1 cup water, 1 cup salt, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon cream of tartar, and 3-5 drops of food dye (optional). Add more flour if the mixture is wet or sticky, or add more water if the mixture is too dry.
Uses for Cream of Tartar

Shine Stainless Steel

Clean and shine your stainless steel appliances using a mixture of 1 cup of white vinegar and 1/4 cup of cream of tartar. Dip a sponge into the mixture, scrub your stainless steel, then wipe clean with a clean, damp cloth. (Buff with a microfiber cloth for extra shine!)
Uses for Cream of Tartar

Clean Silver

Clean tarnished silver using cream of tartar and a damp magic eraser (one of my very favorite cleaning tools). This can be used on silver trays, dishes, and utensils.

Rust Remover

Create a handy rust remover by mixing 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar, 1/4 cup baking soda, and add just enough hydrogen peroxide to form a paste. Apply the paste to a rust spot, let it sit for 30 minutes, then wipe the surface clean.
Uses for Cream of Tartar

Clean Up Copper

Clean up copper pots and pans using a mixture of 2 tablespoons of cream of tartar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Rub the mixture onto the copper surface and wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Keep Veggies Colorful

Adding a 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar to a pot of boiling vegetables can help retain their vibrant color.
meringue

Meringue Miracle

Add an 1/8 teaspoon of cream of tartar for each 2 egg whites in your meringue. The acid from the cream of tartar will stabilize the egg whites and add volume to your finished product.

Clear Clogged Drains

To clear built up hair and gunk from your drains, mix together 1/4 cup of baking soda, 1/4 cup of salt, and 1 tablespoon of cream of tartar. Pour the mixture into the drain and add 1 cup of water. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes or so, then run hot water through the drain.
fireplace

Sweep Away Soot

A sooty fireplace can be cleaned up using a mixture of cream of tartar and water. Dip a cloth or sponge into the mixture, wipe away the soot, then follow with a clean, damp cloth.

Pre-treat Whites

Keep your whites extra bright by pretreating them with a cream of tartar soak. Add a teaspoon of cream of tartar to a quart of water, and soak your whites before laundering.

toilet

Toilet Touchup

Keep your toilet looking clean between regular cleanings by sprinkling cream of tartar into the bowl and giving it a quick scrub with your toilet brush.
