Toxicity of boric acid Boric acid, sodium borate, and sodium perborate are estimated to have a lethal dose (LD50) from 0.1 to 0.5 g/kg in humans[verification needed][5]. These substances are toxic to all cells, and have a slow excretion rate through the kidneys. Kidney toxicity is the greatest, with liver fatty degeneration, cerebral edema, and gastroenteritis. A reassessment of boric acid/borax by the United States Environmental Protection Agency Office of Pesticide Programs found potential developmental toxicity (especially effects on the testes).[6] Boric acid solutions used as an eye wash or on abraded skin are known to be especially toxic to infants, especially after repeated use because of its slow elimination rate.[7]

To clean an automatic dishwasher put EITHER a cup of white vinegar OR 1/2 cup Citric Acid in the bottom and run it through a cycle. You can get Citric Acid in most Pharmacies.

If you've got any rust patches in your bathroom then try and use lemon juice on them. It's a mild acid but it can be really effective on these kind of stains.

To descale your kettle mix a teaspoon of citric acid (available from your local pharmacy) with a pint of warm water, leave in the kettle for 3 hours and it should be clean as a whistle
