We’re not saying it’ll replace a HEPA purifier during allergy season—but it’s a solid backup plan that costs, what, a couple bucks? And sometimes, that’s all your space really needs.
So How Does It Work?
Okay, let’s talk science—but we’ll keep it short and sweet.
Salt, especially sea salt or Himalayan pink salt, has hygroscopic properties. That means it can attract and hold moisture from the air. Along with moisture, it often captures tiny airborne particles like dust, pollen, and even some mold spores.
Vinegar (preferably white distilled vinegar) is a mild acid that can help neutralize bacteria and absorb odors. It doesn’t mask smells—it actually breaks down the molecules causing them.
