For long term use, it is not recommended to use borax on things like dishes as a build up can occur and consuming borax can cause illness. Thanks! Just a note about the borax in the dishwasher soap.

I recently changed over to an evapporative cooler which is much more cost effective and works especially well in dry climates. I enjoy your blog, lots of good ideas!
