04-12-2007

Borax is a powder type cleaner you can find it in your grocery stores.

Borax, also called sodium borate, or sodium tetraborate, or disodium tetraborate, is an important boron compound, a mineral, and a salt of boric acid. It is usually a white powder consisting of soft colorless crystals that dissolve easily in water.

Borax has a wide variety of uses. It is a component of many detergents, cosmetics, and enamel glazes. It is also used to make buffer solutions in biochemistry, as a fire retardant, as an anti-fungal compound for fibreglass, as an insecticide, as a flux in metallurgy, and as a precursor for other boron compounds.

The term borax is used for a number of closely related minerals or chemical compounds that differ in their crystal water content, but usually refers to the decahydrate. Commercially sold borax is usually partially dehydrated.

My favorite household hint that works and also saves you a bundle is to use tennis balls in the dryer. I have a large dryer so I use 2 but when you can get 3 for $1 and they last (until the dog sees them) for a long time,( my last purchase was app. 1 year ago.) Great if you have allergy sufferers in the home. Most laundry soap smells pretty good any so I never use fabric softner sheets.
