One Benefit of Borax Most People Don't Know
Jump to the part you need
Lynn mixes borax with lemon juice into a small batch of paste and scrubs out the gray marks her cast iron pans leave on her old white sink. She adds a couple of drops of blue Dawn at the end and shows the before and after on a sink she admits looks awful.
What Lynn shows you
- The batch she mixes in a mason jar is about three tablespoons of borax with three bottle-cap pours of lemon juice - deliberately small, just enough for the kitchen and bathroom sinks.
- She sprinkles it on rather than pouring: "it don't take much at all." She scrubs with a homemade crocheted scrubby she has a separate video for.
- A couple of drops of blue Dawn at the end "just gives you like a little soap lather that you can scrub it in there good with."
- Her sink is old white cast iron. She thinks it would work on stainless steel or porcelain but says so as a guess, twice: "you'll just have to test it on your own sink" and "just do your research before you try it."
- She notes borax has been around since 1891 and runs about $7 or $8 a box, usually on the bottom shelf of the laundry aisle.
