If you have a salt block, it is important to clean it regularly. Here are four easy steps to cleaning your salt block:

  1. Fill a bucket with warm water and add enough soap to cover the salt. Soak the salt block for 10 minutes, then drain the water and repeat the process.
  2. Pour a pot of boiling water onto the salt block and let it soak for 10 minutes. Drain the water and repeat the process.
  3. Place a layer of newspaper over the top of the salt block and place another heavy object on top of that, such as a large pot or kettle. Let this sit for 24 hours so that all of the moisture has been absorbed by the newspaper.
  4. Remove all of the newspaper and any objects from around the salt block, then rinse it off with fresh water. ..
