Borax has been very useful in mold removal and prevention in my home. It acts as a mild, yet non-scartching abarsive which scrubs away mold quickly and effectively with little effort. It is possible to use a regular household sponge to scrub away mold using borax. Additionally, borax helps to prevent mold for a short period of time. I use it to clean everything from the kitchen sink, to the bathtub, and the toilet. It leaves the surfaces bright and clean.

I believe the use of borax could be imporved upon, however. The powder itself can be difficult to rinse away if a large amount is used and may leave behind a light residue. Additionally, it can bothersome to have to sprinkle a powder over every surface you wish to clean. If borax could be combined with other cleaning agents it could be made easier to clean up and more convenient to use. Specifically, I think it would be best to combine it into a sprayable liquid solution.

Creating a liquid cleaner using borax as well as other natural cleaning agents, such as vinager and hydrogen peroxide, would both increase ease of use and, I believe, effectiveness. However, to increase the appeal of such a cleaner, I think it would be preferable to add scents using essentail oils or other natural perfumes. Especially so if vinegar is used, as the smell can be somewhat offputting and harsh.

Another benefit of using borax, combined with other natural cleaning agents, is the lack of toxic ingredients. It is safer to use, yet still effective. There would be little danger in using such a product around eating utensiles, animals, or children. Unlike harsh chemical cleaners, a borax solution would be easier on the consumer's health, as it would not act as a lung or skin irritant. 

Using borax in a liquid solution would be an easier and safer way to prevent mold and would have a variety of additional uses. Such a solution would make natural cleaning more convenient for the consumer in providing a simple, ready to use, and hassle free product.

I clean the vinyl siding at my mothers house twice a year because it molds on the shady sides.  I would love to use bleach to really slow down the growth, but I am afraid of changing the color.   It would be wonderful to have a hose attached sprayer that would help with this nasty job. 

Put dry towels around pipes to keep them from dripping

 I have a beautiful outdoor fountain and i was continually cleaning all the slime, mold, and mildew out of it, I would have to empty it, clean it and refill it all the time.

I got smart and once a week I add 1 capfull of bleach to the water and I dont have all the gunk, and it stays nice and clean.

This  is such an effortless cleaning solution that saves me a lot of work.

Bleach is the number one way to kill mold spores, and the Clorox Company is a front runner in the bleach department.  But since bleach is not healthy to inhale, especially when used in confined spaces or over extended periods, it would seem like a good idea for Clorox to make a natural, non-hazardous mold killer using vinegar, tea tree oil or peroxide.  Counterintuitive?  No, especially if marketed under the Green Works label.  This healthier alternative to a bleach based product would allow consumers to use the product on hard and soft surfaces and be safe to use around children and pets.  Also, it would not need to be wiped or rinsed. It could be made available in a reusable spray bottle and in larger bottles of concentrated mold killer formula which can be diluted with water by the customer.
