A bag of salt in the cupboard can solve this big problem

When it comes to household cleaning, you should never ignore grandma’s advice, that is, all those household tricks that can be very useful and optimize the results.

In this article we will detail the unexpected benefit of putting salt bags in the cupboard . This is a trick that is as old as it is effective for making garments last longer.

The salt bag trick in the closet

Placing a bag of salt in the cupboard helps prevent and combat the smell of damp, which is very common in closed environments. Proper ventilation helps, but coarse salt can help keep clothes from smelling bad.

If you want to perfume the inside of the closet as well as eliminating humidity, pour a few drops of an essential oil of your choice onto the salt.

Salt also prevents insects from nesting in our closets and, if poured into shoes, also helps eliminate bad odors.
