Frequently Asked Questions
Does this trick purify the air like a HEPA filter?
No. It acts primarily as a natural scent disperser and mild deodorizer. It does not replace mechanical air filtration systems.
Can I use fine table salt instead of coarse salt?
Coarse salt is preferred because fine salt dissolves too quickly into the juice, reducing the longevity of the setup.
