Borax
as
a
Disinfectant.
Alone
or
dissolved
in
water,
and
used
freely
to
pour
down
closets,
sinks,
&c.,
it
removes
all
noisome
smells,
acting
as
a
purifier,
and
rendering
even
impure
water
wholesome.
It
should
be
used
frequently
where
sewer
gas
is
suspected.

Borax
for
Cleansing
Purposes.
A
solution
Patent
in
hot
water,
allowed
to
cool,
is
useful
for
washing
any
kind
of
glass
or
china,
imparting
a
lustre
and
brightness
to
them
that
they
never
exhibit
when
washed
in
the
ordinary
way.
When
it
is
put
into
water
used
for
washing
floors
it
destroys
all
vermin
with
which
the
solution
comes
in
contact.
2314.

Borax
in
Cookery.
A
few
grains
added
to
the
tea
before
the
water
is
poured
on
it
greatly
improves
the
flavour
of
the
infusion.
When
used
instead
of
soda,
or
carbonate
of
soda,
in
cooking
vegetables,
such
as
greens,
peas,
beans,
&c.,
it
improves
their
flavour,
preserves
their
colour,
and
renders
them
tender.
Vegetables,
eaten
in
an
uncooked
state,
as,
salad,
are
rendered
more
crisp
and
of
better
flavour,
by
steeping
them
for
a
short
time
before
they
are
brought
to
table
in
a
solution
of
borax.
