Know before you buy
Borax acts as a water softener and pH buffer, which helps your detergent work more effectively. By neutralizing hard water minerals, it allows soap to penetrate fabrics better, resulting in brighter whites and more effective odor removal.
While 20 Mule Team Borax is a natural mineral compound and non-toxic, it is intended for cleaning purposes only. You should always store it out of reach of children and pets, and ensure surfaces are rinsed thoroughly after cleaning.
Yes, Borax is generally safe for most fabrics because it is bleach-free. However, it is always a good practice to test a small, inconspicuous area of the garment first if you are concerned about colorfastness.
You can use it on most hard surfaces, including countertops, sinks, tubs, and toilets. Because it is a powder, it works well as a gentle abrasive for scrubbing away soap scum or dried-on food residue.
No, this product is completely unscented. It works by neutralizing odors rather than masking them with artificial fragrances, making it a great choice for those with sensitivities to scented cleaning products.
Yes, for most surface cleaning tasks, you should dissolve the powder in warm water to create a solution. For tougher stains or grime, you can create a thicker paste by mixing a smaller amount of water with the powder to use as a scrub.
