Borax – Another Miracle Cleaner
20 Mule Team Borax - Good for practically everything.
In light of Laura’s recent post about Baking Soda, I thought I’d whip up a quick post about a similarly useful “green” cleaning substance.
If you’ve never used Borax in your household cleaning, you should probably give it a closer look.
According to the 20 Mule Team Borax website:
Borax first appeared in history approximately 4,000 years ago. It is a naturally occurring mineral composed of sodium, boron, oxygen and water. Borax is generally found embedded deep in the ground, along with clay and other substances.
Here are a few uses for borax that you might find useful:
- Laundry booster
- Stain remover
- Water softener
- Household cleaning and deodorizing
- Toilet Bowl Cleaner
- Carpet & Rug Cleaner
- Dishwasher detergent booster
- Garbage disposal deodorizer
- Flower preserver
- Window cleaner
- Natural pesticide
