Borax.....The Forgotten Cleaner.

I Found another handy and inexpensive cleaner to use in many different ways. It can be used in conjunction with vinegar and baking soda. Now we can use something 'non-chemical' in the dishwasher, even. This is just one more product that we can use to save money and keep our homes clean. It has been around forever!  Borax. 
We may all get to where we are spending very little money to clean our homes, and start getting away from chemicals that are not good for us. Ever wonder what the housewives used before the purchase of fancy household cleaners? Borax, vinegar, baking soda, salt. 
You can also make your own laundry soap with Borax in it.
