FAQ:
Q: Is this mixture safe on all surfaces?
A: Avoid using it on delicate surfaces like polished stone, marble, or stainless steel with a mirror finish, as salt may scratch.
Q: Can I use sea salt or kosher salt instead of table salt?
A: Yes, but finer grains work better for smooth application and even scrubbing.
Q: Will this disinfect as well as clean?
A: The detergent and optional lemon juice or essential oil can help reduce bacteria, but it’s not a full disinfectant. For sanitizing, follow up with a proper disinfectant if needed.
Q: Can I use it on fabric stains?
A: Use with caution. The salt-detergent mix can work on tough laundry stains like grease, but always test on an inconspicuous spot first to avoid discoloration.
