For Laundry: Regular Wash - Add 1/2 cup 20 Mule Team* Borax to each wash load along with the recommended amount of detergent. For large capacity machines add 3/4 cup. For front-loading machines use 1/2 cup.
Pre-soaking Stains - Add one tablespoon of 20 Mule Team* Borax per gallon of water or 1/2 cup in washer. Pre-soak for at least 30 minutes before washing.
For Cleaning: Cleaning Cookware - 20 Mule Team* Borax is a mild and gentle cleaner for porcelain and aluminum cookware. Sprinkle 20 Mule Team* Borax on pots and pans as you would a dry cleanser and rub with a damp dishcloth. No need to worry about scratching, Borax is not abrasive. Rinse thoroughly.
Carpet Spills and Stains - For problem wet areas, blot up spill, sprinkle on 20 Mule Team* Borax to cover area, let dry and vacuum. For problem stains try the "wine and alcohol stains" directions included.
Wine and Alcohol Stains - Dissolve 1/2 cup of 20 Mule Team* Borax in a pint of water. Sponge in the solution, wait 1/2 hour, then shampoo the spotted area. Let dry and vacuum. These stains are tough ones and your chances of success are better the sooner you treat them.
For Deodorizing: Garbage Disposals - 20 Mule Team* Borax Laundry Booster helps deodorize food waste disposals by neutralizing acidic odors. Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons in the drain, let it stand for at least 15 minutes, then flush with water for a few seconds with the disposal on. This treatment can also be used in your regular sink drains.
Mattress Odors - Urine odors from mattresses and mattress covers may be neutralized by dampening the spot and sprinkling 20 Mule Team* Borax over it. Rub the 20 Mule Team* Borax into the areas and let dry. Brush or vacuum to remove the dry borax.
