    that sounds like a lethal combo You can mix borax with vinegar and water safely. ... However, mixing borax with bleach is not recommended. Bleach often produces dangerous toxic gases when mixed with other products Use vinegar and steel wool instead https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=DIYvinegar+steel+wool+aging+wood

      Of course you can't believe everything you research online ????........You can mix borax with vinegar and water safely. This solution can be more effective at killing mold. Some people also add salt. However, mixing borax with bleach is not recommended. Another......Dangers of Bleach + NEVER Mix Bleach with These 3 Cleaning ..... tea tree essential oil, hydrogen peroxide, borax and distilled vinegar.

    Bleach and borax can be safely mixed. Actually borax fortifies the bleach and detergent in washing clothes. Think of 20 Mule Team Borax.
