1, choose the right salt. Generally speaking, coarse salt or sea salt should be chosen, because this kind of salt is purer, more natural and has stronger ability to ward off evil spirits.

2. Choose the right time. Generally speaking, you should choose in the morning or evening, when the sun is not too strong, because this can avoid salt being sunburned by the sun and avoid attracting the attention of neighbors. If it is before moving into a new house or before moving into a new house, you can choose the previous day or the same day.
3. Choose the right place. Generally speaking, you should choose four corners of the house, doorways, windows, kitchens, bathrooms and other important positions, because these places are easy to accumulate evil or unclean gases and need to be purified with salt. If you live in a new house or move, you can sprinkle salt inside and outside the whole house to completely get rid of the old air in the house.
4. The correct way to sprinkle salt. Generally speaking, you can take a proper amount of salt by hand or spoon, and then sprinkle salt on the selected place evenly, not too much, not too little, so as not to waste or be ineffective. If you live in a new house or move, you can fill a basin or bucket with salt, then walk around the house and sprinkle salt as you walk. Pay attention to leave an exit when sprinkling, so that evil spirits have a place to go, and don't trap evil spirits in the house.
5. Treatment after salt spraying. Generally speaking, after sprinkling salt, wait for a period of time for the salt to work, and then wipe it clean with a broom or mop. Pay attention to the direction when cleaning, sweep from the inside out, and sweep out the salt with evil spirits. If it is before moving in or moving into a new house, it can be cleaned the next day after sprinkling salt, or it can be cleaned on the day of moving in or moving in. When cleaning, you should also pay attention to the direction, sweep from the inside out, and sweep out the salt and germs together.
