Cleaning Hack of the Week: Borax

Today's cleaning hack is a particularly relevant one. Disinfectants are becoming a regular part of life, and stores are selling out of them almost everyday it seems. Since we all want to get our shopping done as quickly as possible these days, having an alternative in case of limited supply is a must. While names like "Lysol" and "Clorox" typically come to mind, not everyone knows that Borax can be a hospital-grade disinfectant when used properly. The key is to mix it with HOT water. High temperature is another key to many disinfecting procedures. Creating a mixture of 1/2 cup of Borax per gallon of water creates an effective, multi-purpose cleaner. Uses include stain removal, disinfecting surfaces, and even insect deterrent. 

Disclaimer: Borax, like all cleaning solutions, should be kept out of reach of children and pets.
