20 Mule Team Borax – laundry booster? or more? – product review and #giveaway ends 6/28

Disclosure: The blog owner (that’s me!) received a product or promotional item from 20 Mule Team Borax to facilitate this review. I was under no obligation to post a positive review. The opinions contained herein, are my own and reflect my experience with the product(s). Your own may differ.

Anyone who’s read this blog for any length of time will remember how much I love Borax as a laundry booster. It makes such a huge difference, particularly with my hard water, that you’d have to see it to believe it. It also helps any kind of yucky build up from developing on our cloth diapers. I like that.

But did you know that Borax, a naturally occurring mineral composed of sodium, boron, oxygen and water, is oh so much more that a fabulous laundry additive? (And it won’t hurt the environment)

Borax is great for discouraging fleas from taking up residence in your carpets. Simply sprinkle a generous amount of Borax on your carpets and work in with a broom. In the morning, vacuum it up. Viola! No more fleas!

Add a little Borax to some school glue, tint it with a drop of food coloring and you have lovely squishy ooky Gak for the littles to entertain themselves with on a rainy day!

A quarter cup of Borax mixed with the water in your toilet bowl and allowed to sit overnight, before brushing, will remove stains and freshen the toilet.

Mix together one to two gallons of warm water with 1/3rd cup borax, a teaspoon of liquid dish soap to clean your tile floors. For serious grout cleaning: Combine 1/2-cup baking soda, 1/4-cup borax and hot water to form a thin paste. Pour over the tile, scrub and rinse. If it leaves a residue on the grout after rinsing, dip a clean cloth in white vinegar and wipe the tile down again.

You can even make beautiful snowflakes, around the holidays, with little more than Borax and pipe cleaners!

Learn more about Borax by visiting the website and connect with them on Facebook, YouTube and Pinterest, too!

Now don’t you want to run out and buy your own box of Borax? You should! Or because the great folks at Borax have given me an extra coupon to share with a lucky reader, you could enter to win some right here!
