Can’t stand to see your curtains darken over time? This dirty and old look ruins the decor of your interior.

You will feel that they are as good as new! Take advantage of the opportunity to wash your coloured clothes: the salt will preserve their intense hue and delay the fading process.

Not only will it absorb grease, but it will also neutralise bad odours. How to proceed? Simply spray it directly on the stains and leave it to act for a few hours, before starting the usual wash cycle. You can also soak the stained clothes in a salt water solution. It is even better for very old and difficult to remove stains.
