Borax has many uses that I was not aware of until today. On this fateful day, I decided to give the bathroom sink its weekly cleaning. This sink gets bad; I would like to clean it daily, but who has time for it? In addition, a mechanic lives at my house...you must know what the mechanic's sink looks like. Even though he insists that he washes his hands at work, he still gets pretty dirty at the house. Add this on top of kids grime, and we then have what I have. A really gross sink that doesn't come all the way clean. It always looks like it is dirty, at least a little bit.
I recently purchased some products to make some homemade laundry detergent. I read the Borax package, and was surprised to read that it can be used to wash more items around the house, so I tried it on my sink...and to my surprise, it sparkled! I had minimal scrubbing; and it looks almost new. All the old, rubbed in dirt came right out. I had to wonder what else it could do...here is what I found out!
Borax will unclog your drains. Add some down your drain with a funnel, then add some boiling water. Wait for about 15 minutes, try again for stubborn clogs.
Rubbing it into mildew on fabric will remove the stain. Use Borax in a little water to form a paste, rub on stain then let sit until stain is gone. May take several hours.
Borax dissolved in water will clean your windows to sparkle and streak free!
There are plenty more uses to try, I will keep you posted. Thanks for reading!
