Borax is another great cleaning tool to have in your house.  It can be used for so many different things, either by itself or in a mixture.  I personally always have a box of borax on hand to help with our household cleaning needs!

• Keep ants out by surrounding your house
• Kill fleas by sprinkling it on the carpets leave for an hour and vacuum up
• Scrub dirty pots and pans with 1 tsp of borax and warm water
• Remove a stain by mixing 1 cup borax with 2 cups warm water.  Apply the paste to the stain and wash as normal
• Remove rust by mixing borax with lemon juice
• Clean outdoor furniture by mixing 1 tsp of dish detergent, 1 tsp borax, and 1 qt of warm water.  Spray on furniture
• Deodorize litter boxes by adding a few tbpn to the litter
• Unclog drains with 1/5 cup borax followed by 2 cups of boiling water, let sit for 15 minutes.  Run water to flush out

Do you have any other uses for Borax?  Please share them!
