When I was presented the opportunity to evalulate and write a review of 20 Mule Team Borax, I thought, "Why not? It just might somehow help to make life easier." (even at this stage of my life)
First of all, I learned that it is a 100% natural product and safe for folks and for the environment. That is a serious plus!
Secondly, 20 Mule Team Borax is a cleaning tool around the house. Freshen the carpet. Clean the toilet bowl by letting 1/2 cup work overnight in the bowl. Get rid of fleas! Freshen the drain in the sink or bathroom by putting 1/2 cup down the drain, wait 30 minutes, and then flush with fresh water.So I have a box and I'm using it for a variety of purposes around the house. Most likely I'll keep a box of this product on hand to use and feel good about what I'm pouring down the drain, using in the laundry, or freshening the toilet bowl. It is a "green" all natural product.
Thirdly, in the laundry! Put 1/2 cup 20 Mule Team Borax in your wash along with your regular detergent as a boost for cleaning and freshening. It is a natural water softener which helps your detergent work more efficiently. Un-sour those sour towels! (Hmmm.... I really don't believe un-sour is a word, but it works here.)

| Why the name "20 Mule Team Borax"? Because it took a 20-Mule-Team to haul it out and get it to market! |
One of the world's largest deposits of sodium tetraborate was discovered in California in 1913 but it was being used world-wide much earlier than that.

I would never have thought to use it to clean the bathroom to remove soap scum. I use it as a laundry booster and have used it for sometime after first having extra left over from making "flubber" or "gak" for a girls science class. You add glue and something else and some kind of coloring.

All natural since 1891-- great to make laundry soap with//or removing stains,
ReplyDeleteI use it in my laundry, and dishwasher. It's good to know it is safe for pets too.
ReplyDeleteIt'd be beneficial in that it'd keep us busy on those stuffy, rainy days, but we'd try growing crystals!
ReplyDeleteYou can use it for laundry and in dishwashers. I currently use it to make my own dishwasher detergent
ReplyDeleteI have used it to remove soap scum, fingernail polish from my carpet, in my laundry and dishes, and for activities with the kids.
ReplyDeleteWe have hard water, so Borax would help as a laundry additive.
ReplyDeleteI'll be using it to presoak dirty items.
