Directions
20 Mule Team Borax Tips: Porcelain: Porcelain enamel surfaces will sparkle when washed with a solution of 20 Mule Team Borax and warm water. Just sprinkle 20 Mule Team Borax on a damp sponge or clothe and wipe. Your surfaces will shine. Hard Water: Got hard water? 20 Mule Team Borax Laundry Booster works great as a water conditioner, helping your detergent to work more effectively. Add 1/2 cup of 20 Mule Team Borax along with your regular laundry detergent. You'll get cleaner, fresher smelling clothes. Delicates: Delicate hand washables also benefit from the water conditioning and deodorizing of 20 Mule Team Borax. Dissolve 1/4 cup of 20 Mule Team Borax and 1-2 tablespoons detergent in a basin of warm water. Soak delicates for 10 minutes, then rinse in clear, cool water. Blot items with a towel and lay flat to dry. Garbage Pails: Deodorize your garbage pails with 20 Mule Team Borax. Just sprinkle a little 20 Mule Team Borax in the bottom of a clean, dry pail (you can use 20 Mule Team Borax to wash the pail too). Refrigerators: 20 Mule Team Borax is excellent for cleaning and deodorizing your refrigerator. Lingering odors and spilled food can be washed away with a sponge using a solution of 1 quart warm water and 1 tablespoon 20 Mule Team Borax. Rinse thoroughly with cold water.

Rinse it in a solution of 1/2 cup 20 Mule Team Borax and warm water in the kitchen sink. Designs on hand painted china will not fade. Give china a thorough rinse with clear water before drying. Humidifiers: To help keep your humidifier free of odor, dissolve one tablespoon of 20 Mule Team Borax per gallon of water and add it to the unit. Be sure to rinse out this solution before refilling your humidifier with pure water prior to use. Toilet Bowls: 20 Mule Team Borax is great at deodorizing the toilet bowl. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of 20 Mule Team Borax into the bowl, then swish with your toilet brush. Let it stand for 30 minutes or overnight, for the freshest bowl you've ever had.

Cleaning Cookware: 20 Mule Team Borax is a mild and gentle cleaner for porcelain and aluminum cookware. Sprinkle 20 Mule Team Borax on pots and pans as you would a dry cleanser and rub with a damp dishcloth. No need to worry about scratching, borax is not abrasive. Rinse thoroughly.

Wine and Alcohol Stains: Dissolve 1/2 cup of 20 Mule Team Borax in a pint of water. Sponge in the solution, wait 1/2 hour, then shampoo the spotted area. Let dry and vacuum. These stains are tough ones and your chances of success are better the sooner you treat them. For Deodorizing: In addition to laundry boosting and household cleaning, 20 Mule Team Borax can be used in many different situations to reduce and control odors. Garbage Disposals: 20 Mule Team Borax Laundry Booster helps deodorize food waste disposals by neutralizing acidic odors. Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons in the drain, let it stand for at least 15 minutes, then flush with warm water for a few seconds with the disposal on. This treatment can also be used in your regular sink drains. Mattress Odors: Urine odors from mattresses and mattress covers may be neutralized by dampening the spot and sprinkling 20 Mule Team Borax over it. Rub the 20 Mule Team Borax into the areas and let dry. Brush or vacuum to remove the dry borax. Pet Urine and Sour Spilled Milk Odors: Use same procedure as listed for mattress odors.
