It is well known that 20 Mule Team® Borax is commonly used in the laundry room but today I am sharing 10 Ways to Clean Your Kitchen with Borax. From the floors to kitchen sink to coffee maker and fridge. We are cleaning it all with just one product!

I recently saw a hilarious but very accurate meme on social media. You may have seen it, ” Cleaning your house with kids is like brushing your teeth while eating cookies.” Oh how true it is! My house is wrecked after the kids being on summer vacation and I am doing some much needed scrubbing.

To start my “back to school” cleaning mission, I stopped by my local Meijer to pick up Borax which is found down the laundry aisle with “additives”. I have two major reasons to reach for Borax to help clean my messy house. Borax is a Multi-Purpose Household Cleaner that can used in a variety of ways and is an “All Natural” product. Plus, it gets the job done!

I also picked up a set of gloves, lemon, sponge, spray bottle, small bucket and vinegar. Oh and coffee. The coffee is for my motivation, not cleaning.

I recommend visiting Borax online to get more cleaning inspiration and see all the ways you can use Borax in your home to help you can clean.

10 Ways to Clean Your Kitchen with Borax

The kids are in school, coffee is brewing and this mom is ready to get cleaning! I did a quick reorganization of the counter space and got out my supplies.

1. Garbage Disposal. Place 3 tablespoons Borax down the garbage disposal, wait 15 minutes and run lukewarm water through. You can add some lemon peels and turn the garbage disposal on to help clean and freshen up the sink.
2. Sink.  As you wait for the Borax in the garbage disposal to settle, make a paste to help clean the entire sink. Use .5 cup Borax to 1/8 cup lemon juice to create the paste and place on a sponge and scrub.
3. Dishwasher. Using your paste, scrub the inside door of the dishwasher. Sprinkle Borax at the bottom and run cycle as normal.
4. Garbage. Place 3 tablespoons Borax on the bottom of the trash can to help deodorize.
5. Coffee Maker. Sprinkle Borax on coffee maker and wipe clean with a sponge. Run equal parts vinegar and water through a half a brew cycle. Let sit for 1 hour and complete the brew cycle. Run one more cycle with water only.
6. Counter Tops. In a bucket, mix .5 cup Borax to 1 gallon hot water. Scrub counters with a sponge and wipe clean.
7. Floor. Using the bucket solution, scrub floors.
8. Pots and Pans. The bucket solution can also help clean your pots and pans.
9. Fridge. Dip your sponge in a solution of 1 quart water to 1 tablespoon Borax to help clean and deodorize messes in the fridge. There were some mysterious spills in my fridge that are now gone!
10. Unclog a drain. Have a clog? Place .5 cup Borax with 2 cups hot water into the drain, let sit 15 minutes and run hot water to help unclog.
