Borax

I am adding a feature to my blog: The Cabinet. As I do more projects, I am going to compile a list of the multipurpose stuff that I will pretty much always keep stocked in my cabinet. I am starting with Borax.

After making my own liquid laundry detergent, I decided I better find some other uses for the ingredients. Since I only need 1/2 cup of Borax each batch and I only need about 3 batches a year, I will have tons of Borax left over.

Then I had the brilliant idea to read the instructions on the box! There are three main uses for this naturally occurring compound:

• Kitchen
• Bathroom
• Laundry

I have only used it for a few other purposes so far as I mentioned in my last post (cleaning the bathroom and soaking the diaper pail) but rather than reinvent the wheel, I will link you to this great DIY blog.

At $3.99 per box, this stuff quickly pays for itself!
