Thanks. I've never used salt to try to clean out my drains. Here is another piece of extremely useful advice I discovered experimenting. If your shower floor is stained, pour a bottle of pinesol over the stained areas and let it sit overnight. The next morning you'll be able to literally run hot water over the stain, no scrubbing at all, and it will wash right down the drain. It be as clean as if you'd just scrubbed it for an hour. It works like a champ. 👍

I was told to use salt and yeast for my septic tank treatment. Is that true?

How bout my sewer pipe that froze? Don't know what else to do. ice is in between my clean out and septic tank . the ice inside my sewer line could burst or crack my Main drain sewer pipe and that would be an expensive fix wouldn't it?

Some videos talk about salt being abrasive and therefore a good cleaner, and similarly on roads. No. The salt goes into solution with water and is slightly alkaline which might give it a slight caustic action. On roads it lowers the freezing point of water thereby tending to de-ice roads. Nothing to do with the minor abrasion of the crystalline form.

Don’t use salt! Use SODIUM bicarbonate and vinegar! You mean, a salt?

@dagwould 3 ай бұрын

We're talking about two different salts here. Table salt is sodium chloride. Bicarb is NaHCO3, a different salt and I think slightly more alkaline in solution than NaCl (table salt). Mixing a salt and an acid results in a neutralizing solution: neither acidic nor alkaline.
