Got Stubborn Stains? All you need is Borax!
If you've been reading for a while now, you've probably seen this gorgeous photo of Mr. Seven. Seven is a pretty large orange tabby cat. Don't let the leaf pile fool you! He typically weighs in at around 25 pounds. Think Garfield without the lasagna fetish when you think of Seven.
Seven is actually twelve years old this year and has been having some issues. He's had a couple anal gland ruptures over the past year. It's pretty gross when it happens and there's absolutely no warning. Well he ruptured and then was sick from his meds all over Susie's bed. Pretty gross. But we'd just gotten this brand new box of 20 Mule Team Borax which is supposed to be awesome for stains.
It's incredibly easy to use. You add the Borax to the washer on the pre-soak setting and then wash as usual. Easy-Peasy!
All the stains came out! Every single Seven affected article came out stain-free. Nothing else has ever worked as well as this. Absolutely amazing.
20 Mule Team Borax has a lot of uses. I've also used it to prevent mildew from forming on furniture stored in the basement.
Borax was kind enough to include some free product coupons for a giveaway. One Rosie Discovers reader will win three (3) free product coupons for 20 Mule Team Borax. To enter use the rafflecopter entry form below. Contest is open to those in the US 18+. Contest will run 2/8 thru 2/22.

Cool! I love Borax for the washing machine. I didn't know you could do other things with it, too.
ReplyDeleteApparently Borax is good for a bunch of things. Who knew?

ReplyDeleteI love Borax - when my family went on an RV trip, Borax was required to uhhh clean out the tank. Ahem. Love that there's so much you can use it for!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I can easily see how it would be good for that.
DeleteMy biggest laundry dilemma is....I hate doing laundry! Well, I take that back. I don't mind doing the laundry, per se, it's just the endless loop of folding and putting away. I can't wait until someone invents a laundry system a la Jetsons.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree! It seems the laundry at my house is endless too!

ReplyDeleteIs definitely a pain to try to get out! Especially if it has any grease in it.
