Here’s why you should start using salt and vinegar at home for a different purpose than what you’re already used to. We reveal to you the reasons why so many people are increasingly using salt and vinegar for these purposes.
The benefits of salt and vinegar
Salt and vinegar are two common ingredients in cooking, but are often overlooked due to their positive effects on surfaces. Although these ingredients are often associated with cleaning, few are aware that they can be used for other purposes as well. In this article we look at the positive effects of salt and vinegar on surfaces.
On the one hand, salt is a natural scouring agent that can be used to clean and polish surfaces gently and effectively: fine salt, such as marble or granite, is suitable for removing stubborn dirt from pots and pans and for clean coarser surfaces. It can also be used to remove water stains and rust stains from metal surfaces.

Vinegar, on the other hand, is a natural acid that can be used in a variety of ways to clean and maintain surfaces. The acid in vinegar can dissolve limescale and grease stains, eliminate bacteria and prevent mold from forming. Additionally, vinegar can be used to polish and shine stainless steel surfaces, and baking soda can be added for a sparkling effect that helps remove embedded dirt.

Using salt and vinegar together can increase the effectiveness of both ingredients. When combined, the salt and acid in vinegar can loosen trapped dirt and remove stains from surfaces quickly and effectively. Additionally, the combination of salt and vinegar can be used to remove water and limescale stains from bathroom surfaces such as sinks and showers.
Finally, using salt and vinegar to clean surfaces is an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical cleaners. Instead of using harsh chemicals, these are natural, non-toxic, eco-friendly ingredients. Additionally, cleaning chemicals can be expensive, and using common ingredients like salt and vinegar can save money.

First, fill the pot or pan with hot water and add some coarse salt. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the salt to dissolve and soften the embedded dirt. Salt is an excellent natural abrasive that helps remove dirt effectively without scratching the surface of your pot or pan.
After letting the salt sit for a few minutes, pour a little white vinegar into the pot or pan. The acid in the vinegar reacts and dissolves the remaining dirt, making it much easier to remove. Make sure to cover the entire surface of the pot or pan with the vinegar and let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Once the mixture has done its job, empty the pot or pan and gently scrub the surface with a scouring pad. This helps remove embedded dirt. Finally, wash the pot or pan with hot water and dish soap to remove any traces of salt and vinegar.
