Introduction
Sometimes, a room feels heavy, stale, or uncomfortable, even after cleaning. According to folk traditions and natural home remedies, this may be due to negative energy or stagnant air. A surprisingly simple solution? A glass of water mixed with vinegar and salt.
This natural trick has been used for generations to purify energy, neutralize odors, and refresh a living space without chemicals or expensive tools.
What Happens When You Use Vinegar and Salt in a Room?
1. Absorbs Negative Energy
Many cultures believe salt is a natural purifier, absorbing bad vibes and emotional residue from arguments, stress, or visitors.
2. Neutralizes Odors
Vinegar acts as a natural deodorizer, removing stale, smoky, or musty smells from closed rooms.
3. Balances Room Atmosphere
The combination is said to calm emotional tension and create a more peaceful environment.
4. Improves Focus and Sleep
A cleansed, fresh-feeling room can help reduce stress, aiding better concentration and relaxation.
How to Make the Vinegar and Salt Water Glass
Ingredients:
-
1 clear glass (do not use plastic)
-
⅓ cup coarse salt (sea salt or rock salt)
-
⅓ cup white vinegar
-
⅓ cup clean water
Instructions:
-
Fill the glass with salt, vinegar, and water in equal parts.
-
Place it in the room you spend the most time in (bedroom, living room, office).
-
Leave it undisturbed for 24–48 hours.
-
Observe the salt crystals — if they rise or spread, it’s believed they’ve absorbed negative energy.
-
Discard the water outside your home and repeat weekly or monthly as needed.
Extra Tip
-
For stronger purification, place glasses in all four corners of the room.
-
Add a few drops of essential oil (like lavender) for additional calming effects.
Scientific Benefit
Even if you don’t believe in energy cleansing, this trick genuinely neutralizes odors and lightly disinfects the air due to vinegar’s natural acidity.

Placing a simple glass of vinegar, salt, and water in your room is an easy, low-cost way to refresh the air, neutralize odors, and — according to tradition — absorb negativity.
Try this weekly ritual and notice how your home feels lighter, calmer, and more inviting.
