Use salt in the toilet: Grandma’s foolproof trick!

Maintaining a clean and hygienic toilet is crucial for the overall cleanliness of your bathroom. Over time, limescale, residue, and bacteria can accumulate, turning this essential household fixture into a breeding ground for germs. While regular cleaning is necessary, it might not always be sufficient to tackle the tougher stains and build-up.
Enter the timeless wisdom of grandma’s household tricks: using salt. This simple yet effective method can restore your toilet to its original shine, leveraging salt’s natural abrasive and deodorizing properties.
Why Use Salt in the Toilet Bowl?
Descales Surfaces: Salt’s abrasive action helps remove limescale and yellow stains that cling to the bottom of the toilet bowl and shower walls.
Natural Stain Remover: Beyond its descaling abilities, salt acts as a natural stain remover.
Eliminates Bad Odors: It also combats and neutralizes unpleasant smells, ensuring your bathroom remains fresh.
Unclogs Toilet Pipes: Salt can help clear blockages in your toilet’s plumbing, especially from improper disposal of items like tampons or wipes.

The wisdom of older generations often offers us treasures of knowledge, passed down from generation to generation. Among this valuable information is an old recipe that my grandmother used to use, mixing baking soda with honey. At first glance, this combination may seem unusual, but in reality it has many health benefits and amazing applications. In this article, we’ll explore how my grandmother used this magical blend.

1. The Basic Mixture: Baking Soda and Honey

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a versatile product commonly found in every kitchen. It is used for cooking, cleaning and even medical purposes. Honey, on the other hand, is a natural substance produced by bees, known for its antibacterial properties and health benefits.

My grandmother mixed a small amount of baking soda with honey to form a thick paste. This paste was the starting point for many of the tricks and remedies she used.

2. For Healthy Digestion

My Granddaddy’s Favorite German Potato Pancakes, Inexpensive And Extremely Delicious!

This is the true Potato Pancake (not Latke). We usually serve them on a Friday night (especially during Lent) with potato soup, bread and butter, the pancake topped with the traditional granulated sugar with applesauce on the side. We are a German/Polish family. Leftovers were taken in sandwiches with butter, salt and pepper for lunch. Don’t fret about the discoloration…it is a part of the pancake and never noticed after fried up. When 5 pounds of potatoes are grated by hand for a large family, the discoloration is not a problem.Don’t spend a lot of time and trouble drying out the potatoes, just drain in a colander and the flour takes care of the rest. If a little drains from the pancake in the fry pan, it will just add a nice crispiness to the edge. ENJOY. Our family has for over 100 years.

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups coarsely shredded peeled potatoes
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • Pinch of pepper
