Among the grandmother’s tricks and well-being secrets, the mixture of rice and salt is a little-discussed duo but which has useful and surprising properties. This simple mixture, made up of two basic ingredients present in every kitchen, can be used in multiple ways that go beyond simple cooking. Let’s find out why this mixture should be part of your arsenal of domestic and natural solutions.
Properties and Uses of Rice and Salt Mixture
1. Natural Cleaner for Objects
Rice, thanks to its soft abrasive texture, combined with the cleaning properties of salt, makes this mixture an excellent choice for cleaning delicate objects. It is particularly effective for polishing silverware or cleaning vases and narrow-necked bottles, where sponges cannot reach.
2. Shoe and Drawer Deodorizer
Salt is a natural deodorizer, and rice absorbs moisture, making them a perfect duo for removing odors from shoes or drawers. Placing a small cloth bag filled with rice and salt in the affected areas can help maintain long-lasting freshness.
3. Skin Exfoliator
Finely blending ground rice with salt creates an effective natural skin exfoliator. This mixture can help remove dead skin and revitalize the complexion, while being gentle enough not to irritate the skin.
4. Relaxation and Pain Relief
A heated bag of rice and salt can be used as a hot compress to relieve muscle pain and tension. The warmth of the rice combined with the minerals in the salt helps relax muscles and soothe aches and pains.
