Incredibly Useful! Use Salt for These 5 Everyday Cleaning Tasks

Salt always comes to the rescue.

1. Red Wine Stains

Hosting a party is always fun until someone spills a glass of red wine on your white carpet. Fortunately, there's a simple trick to keep that red stain from becoming a permanent fixture. First, gently blot the wine with a paper towel to soak up as much liquid as possible—avoid rubbing! Then, sprinkle salt generously over the stain until you can no longer see any red. Let it sit and dry; the salt will absorb the wine. Finally, vacuum up the salt, and you'll find the stain has vanished.

Wait until you read the ending — then discover another story you won't believe.
