8 things you didn’t know you could do with borax

Borax is one of those things that many people have heard of, but don’t know exactly what it is. And that’s a shame, because this chemical compound (also known as sodium borate) is incredibly useful around your home.

Before we look at the many uses for borax, a caveat: there are conflicting reports about the safety of borax. Some studies show “no signs of toxicity”, while others cite a “potential to cause developmental and reproductive health issues”. While it would seem that a majority of sources classify the compound as safe, there are those that disagree. If you’re worried, be sure to do some research of your own so you feel comfortable.
