Beside making food delicious, it's believed

there are more than 14,000 uses for salt, and

our grandmothers were probably familiar with

most of them. A number of these uses were

for simple things around the home before the

advent of modern chemicals and cleaners.

Many of these salt uses are still valid today

and can be much cheaper and more environmentally-

friendly than more sophisticated

products. We make no guarantee about the

results if you try any of these uses and tips,

but there must be something to them since

they have been handed down over the years in

many households. Most of these salt uses

have stood the test of time.
