The tip for using Borax to unclog drains is magic! I live in a manufactured home – the plumbing is not suitable for ordinary caustic drain cleaners. The one time I tried the baking soda and vinegar route, it clogged the drain even more (took a plumber-friend over an hour to chip out the hardened baking soda). The Borax trick – that worked on EVERY CLOGGED DRAIN IN THE HOUSE! We’d been living with slow drains for years! They all work now!

I like Borax for general cleaning, but keep it out of my washer.

Mom always added some to the wash and it worked so well. Then manufacturers came out out “new ” and improved ways to fight stains that are more expensive and wear out your clothes. It’s a conspiracy! Lol The tried and true ways are so much better. The list of simple things you can use instead just goes on and on.

Yes, you can run it with just Borax and water. It works great and no need to rinse! :-)
