Salt and Starch Mixture Uses:
1. Rashes and Skin Irritations:

Benefits: Good for minor skin irritations and for treating nappy rash and heat rash.
2. Natural Cleaning Scrub: Use the dried combination as a mild abrasive to clean surfaces, including pots and pans. For stubborn stains, you may also mix with a little amount of water to create a paste.
Benefits: Grease and filth are absorbed by starch, while dirt and grime are removed by the abrasive properties of salt.
3. Carpet and shoe deodoriser:
