TIP: HOMEMADE STAIN REMOVER USING BORAX

It's me again with another tip to share.

I don't know about you.  But I can't stand the smell of store-bought stain removers.  Plus, they can get a little pricey too.  As always, I tried to find a homemade formula that will work for me and is a cheaper solution.

For the formula, you will need: Borax, warm water, and a bucket.

You should be able to find Borax in the detergent aisle at the store.  It's about $3 per big box.  CHEAP!!!

So how you do it?

Fill the bucket with warm water.  Then dilute 1 tbs Borax per gallon of water used.  If the stain is not too "naughty," you should be able to get rid of the stain after 30 minutes of pre-soaking it.  I just so happen to deal with Marcel's burrito-stained pants that he didn't get to bring home till a lot later that night.  So the stain was pretty comfortable on Marcel's pants by the time I got to it.  As a result, I had to pre-soak it overnight just to loosen the stain up.  Then, I wash and dry it as normal. Finally ... VOILA!!!  

Here is the video tutorial for your reference.





May you find this tip helpful!
