- House Cleaner – Mix Epsom salt with dish soap to scrub off stains on tile and countertops.
- Splinter Hint – Dissolve a cup of Epsom salt in a tub of hot water and soak the affected area for a few minutes.
- Deter Critters – Spread a light dusting around garbage cans to deter pesky critters like raccoons as they hate the taste.
- Help Your Garden Grow – Sprinkle a tablespoon of Epsom salt before you plant your veggies and flowers as it acts as a magnesium fertilizer.
