The Gluten-Free Homemaker

Although borax is sold in the laundry aisle, I often use it in my kitchen. It is a great natural deodorizer and cleaner. I regularly use it to scour the sink, deodorize and clean the garbage disposal, and freshen up a sponge or dish cloth. It can also be used to clean toilet bowls, windows, and mattresses, but it’s not limited to the indoors. It can keep weeds and pests away. If you don’t use borax or are interested in some new ways to use it, there are more ideas and specific instructions at the following links.
