REMOVE ODORS FROM YOUR HANDS---Dip your fingers in salt moistened with vinegar and rub together to remove smells left by garlic or other spices.

DE-ICE YOUR DOORWAY---Keep a container of salt near the front door, sprinkle over the front steps to prevent icy falls.

SET TIE DYE---After creating your masterpiece, soak it in a mixture of 2 cups warm water to 1/3 cup salt for 20 min. so colors wont run in the wash.

SCRUB AWAY KITCHEN GREASE STAINS---Just sprinkle salt on the stain and wipe it with a sponge.

ONE THING NOT TO DO---DON'T CLEAN WINE STAINS WITH SALT---salt actually sets color. Instead, researchers recommend dousing the stain with a mixture of liquid soap and hydrogen peroxide, then blotting.
