4. Bathroom Brilliance: Soap and Salt for Sparkling Surfaces
Advertisement
Another place the soap and salt mix really works is the restroom. This dynamic team can change your bathroom cleaning schedule from addressing soap scum to tough stains.
To make a paste for cleaning shower doors and getting rid of soap scum, equal parts salt and liquid dish soap. Drizzle this mixture over the glass, let it set for ten to fifteen minutes, then gently scrub with a soft sponge. While the dish soap cuts through any last residue, the abrasive effect of the salt helps to break down the soap scum. For sparkling, streak-free glass, rinse very thoroughly.
Similar treatment will help porcelain sinks and baths. Scrub away stains and discolouration using a paste made from salt and a little liquid soap. While the soap lifts dirt and grime, the mild abrasiveness of the salt aids in removal without surface damage.
To clean grout lines, prepare a thick paste by mixing salt with a little liquid soap and a splash of white vinegar. Using an old toothbrush, apply this mixture to the grout; let it set for a few minutes; then, scrub fiercely. Even the toughest grout can be returned to its natural colour by combining the cleansing qualities of soap and vinegar with salt's scrubbing ability.
