Salt is another eco-cleaner we use often around our house. Salt is a good cleaner because it is an abrasive and dissolves easily into water. Salt dissolved into a solution creates an electrolyte. Electrolytes have the ability to transmit electricity. This property of electrolytes can boost the cleaning power of solutions, making chemical reactions possible. Our
homemade silver cleaning tip uses these properties to transfer the tarnish on silver to the aluminum foil.
Salt can be used to clean carpets, cast iron, egg spills, grease, laundry stains, soot, stainless steel sinks, and wine stains.
