More participants here.

• Test your eggs — If you're unsure of how fresh your eggs might be, try this experiment: fill a mug with water and add a pinch of salt. If the egg floats, consider it fresh. If the egg sinks, it's probably old.
• Stain fighter — To remove wet ink stains from the carpet, cover the stain with salt. Let sit over night and vacuum. The salt should have absorbed all the ink.
• Rid your garden of pests — Pour salt on snails and slugs and watch them disappear before your eyes. Salt will also repel ants.
• Fish prep — Before removing the scales from a fish, soak it in salt water. Removal will be much easier.
• Hang clothes outside in the winter — If you add a little salt to your rinse cycle, your clothes won't freeze if hung outside on a cold day. In addition, a clothes line soaked in salt water doesn't freeze either.
