Once Borax was able to be pulled out of Death Valley, manufacturers everywhere began to find a myriad of uses for this hardworking mineral. It was soon used in a variety of industries including glazing for construction and fiberglass in boats, planes and cars. Borax is also used in the creation of glass, especially for stained glass windows. Known for its crystal whiteness, it’s even used in porcelain and ceramics to make sure that beautiful china plates and vases don’t lose their color. Over time, clever scientists began to find more and more uses for Borax within the home.
