A pinch of salt before bed? It may seem surprising, but this simple habit could well change your household routine. Salt, this ancestral mineral, sometimes nicknamed “white gold”, hides many unsuspected virtues. Ready to discover all that it can do in your home?

Salt, a forgotten household treasure

In ancient times, salt was such a precious commodity that it was used as a form of currency. Today, even if it no longer has this monetary value, it remains a valuable ally in our homes. What if you started adopting a simple gesture: throwing a handful of salt in your sink every evening? Here are the practical reasons to integrate this ritual into your daily life.

Protect your pipes naturally

Did you know? Salt acts as a natural descaler. Poured down the sink, it dissolves grease deposits and neutralises bad odours. If you add hot water after the salt, you will get an even more effective effect to dislodge residues and prevent blockages in the pipes.

Bonus tip: For a reinforced cleaning, mix the salt with baking soda. The mixture foams slightly, which helps to remove dirt while leaving a fresh and pleasant smell.
