Every year someone's home burns down due to a Christmas tree fire. Applying a Flame Retardant Mixture to your tree is one of the safety measures you can do at home to help prevent such tragedies. |
 | 5 tablespoons Borax (20 Mule Team cleaner) |
| 1/4 cup Epsom Salts (from drug store) |
| 2 quarts water |
Apply mixture to Christmas tree branches, decorative greens and wreaths using a misting spray bottle or pump garden sprayer.
One way you can reduce the risks of a tree fire is to use a flame retardant to soak or spray on your tree.
Here are the ingredients for a flame retardant spray.
Everything here costs about $10 to buy, although you may already have the ingredients in your closet!

Just mix all the ingredients. You can either soak your tree's base in the mixture (best!) or spray it directly onto the branches and needles.
Use a commercial product like Tree Safe, Tree Seal, Flame-No-More, No Burn, etc.
