What do you know about boric acid? I personally, until recently, knew a little... But it turns out that boric acid has a rather wide range of uses. It is useful when washing clothes, when cleaning the house and even in the fight against insects ...
Good afternoon dear friends!
Boric acid is an extremely versatile and versatile remedy. For example: pesticides, insecticides and a variety of household chemicals are completely replaceable by it. And in some cases, it may turn out to be more effective than advertised branded expensive products. As they say: both eco-friendly and economical! After all, our grandmothers have long come up with a lot ways to use "penny" funds from a pharmacy at home and in the garden.
And with today's rising prices, it seems like it's time to remember all these recipes... And there are a great many of them. And to prove this fact to you, I have prepared this material.
1.Laundry bleach. To remove yellow stains and traces of sweat, you do not need store bleaches. It is enough to use borax (a dry form of boric acid). For this purpose, the powder is mixed with a small amount of water, made into a thick paste, and then applied to the fabric. Hold for at least 15 minutes and remove with clean water. Everything! It remains to wash your clothes and again you can wear it with pleasure.
By the way, the borax will help you restore the snow-white look not only to completely yellowed, but also to gray things. The only thing is, do not abuse this method, because borax can damage the fibers of the fabric over time.
2.Detergent for sanitary ware. Still dryBorax is an excellent toilet bowl disinfectant that does a great job of removing limescale deposits as well. To clean plumbing you need to dissolve 100 grams of powder in 4 liters of water. Then pour the resulting solution into the toilet and, if necessary, work a little with a brush. Actually, everything!
Borax can wash both the sink and the bathroom. As a result, your plumbing after such processing will shine with the envy of all store cleaners!
3.Mold removal solution. In order to remove mold from the walls, you need to dilute 100 grams of borax in 500 grams of water. After the sponge, treat all surfaces on which the mold has settled and leave it overnight. When the stains disappear, it will be necessary to wipe the wall with clean water.
Need to save clothes from mold? Not a question either! Dilute 500 grams of borax in a bowl with 2 liters of water and soak things. Then rinse and wash them in the machine. And so, everything!
4."Deodorant" for shoes. Not sure how to get rid of bad smell in shoes? Easy! To help you - the drill. So, to start, pour one tablespoon into each shoe or sneaker. And then carefully distribute it inside (excess can be poured out). That's it, leave the shoes like this for 24 hours.
After a while, shake out the remaining powder from the shoes and wear them again with pleasure.
5.Medication for powdery mildew. Did you know that ordinary boric acid is exactly the remedy that can save your magnificent rose bushes from powdery mildew? Not?! Then try 1 teaspoon of powdered borax diluted in half a liter of clean water, and then spray the resulting solution on and under the leaves with a spray bottle. But be aware!
That processing is carried out strictly in cloudy weather or in the evening. On a clear day in direct sunlight, foliage can get burned.
6.insecticides for insects. To combat ants, cockroaches and other harmful insects, borax is also an effective tool. To do this, you need to mix it with something sweet (with condensed milk, jam, sugar), roll up the balls and then scatter them in places where you saw clusters of insects. The pests will eat the treat and you won't have any more. The method is effective and you don’t have to poison the house or garden with chemistry.
But be very careful. Sweet balls can attract children and pets. That's all!
