Pour about 1/4 cup of salt in, add some lemon juice or vinegar and some ice cubes and swish around, then rinse. Your coffee pot will be spotless.

Does anyone know? Also if it works inside in the carpet would it work outside about around or in the dog pen?

This works as an abrasive to help in ease of cleaning oven and helps cut down on smoke while dish completes cooking process. If you have a burner catch fire and don't have an extinguisher handy, sprinkle salt over the burner to help suffocate the flame. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Thrifty Uses for Salt Post by Whyme??

The salt absorbs the dust. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Thrifty Uses for Salt Post by Alph (209) | (08/27/2004) Contact Great salt tips! Using it to control fleas is a great idea; I'd never heard of that. I use boric acid for a number of pest control problems but it must be used very carefully so pets and children can't get to it. I use salt or baking soda for scouring many things, depending on how coarse or fine I need the abrasive. For salt my favorite use is cleaning my cast iron cookwear. My skillets and such never see soap... just hot water and salt. Ditto for the baking stone except I use soda on it unless something is cooked on pretty badly... then out comes the salt. Also try either for scrubbing coffee stains out of cups and coffee pots. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Thrifty Uses for Salt Post By Linne Dodds (Guest Post) (08/25/2004) It kills fleas in the carpet too. I was using the boric products til my dear Daisy dog ate some & vomited. Then I read here that salt worked too. It does & it's sure a LOT CHEAPER . Just sprinkle it on there & leave it alone til whenever you feel like vacuuming. Much less fleas,everybody is happier without going into debt. Report Spam or Abuse
