Borax? Didn't Grandma use that?
Borax is best known as a laundry booster; it helps soften hard water to leave your clothes cleaner and brighter. It cleans wallpaper, painted walls, and floors. It deodorizes, removes stains and boosts the cleaning power of your detergents. Your grandma DID keep a box of Borax in her laundry room and now so should YOU! From disinfecting to deodorizing, that box of Borax is going to be part of your new cleaning regime.

Where Can I Buy Borax?
