20 Mule Team All Natural Borax Detergent Booster & Multi-Purpose Household Cleaner, 65 Ounce, 4 Count

I originally purchased 20 Mule Team Borax to use as a laundry additive to boost the cleaning power of my detergent. I have hard water, and adding this product did indeed make a difference in how clean my clothes get. I also noticed that it got rid of that mildly funky odor that towels sometimes have even after laundering.What is even more impressive is this: My dishes were coming out of the dishwasher with little specks of debris on them. After disassembling and cleaning the spray arms and base mechanism, I still had bits of who-knows-what on my dishes. I purchased and used an expensive dishwasher cleaner product with no improvement. Then I tried a half cup of this borax with my regular dishwasher detergent and ran the heavy cleaning cycle with a load of dishes. PROBLEM SOLVED! Spanking clean dishes. Now I do this every few weeks to maintain my dishwasher’s effectiveness.What else is this product good for, you ask?1. I have used it with success to kill ant colonies. Mix 1/8 cup sugar and 1/4 cup borax. Sprinkle around any trails, baseboards, or wherever you are seeing the pesky things. They take this “food” back to the colony and in a few days, you will notice they are gone.2. For a clogged drain, put 1/2 cup borax into the drain with 2cups boiling water. Wait 30-60 minutes, then flush with plenty of hot water. Effective and less expensive than bottled drain cleaner.3. Hard water stains in your toilet? Put one cup borax into the toilet and let it sit overnight. If you have a ring at the waterline, you can also soak paper towels in a borax and water mixture and place them along the water line ( remove enough water from the toilet beforehand so the paper towels won’t dissolve into the water. Do not flush the paper towels! Remove, scrub the bowl the next morning, and your toilet will definitely look better. Repeat if necessary.3.Removes mildew stains from outdoor furniture. Mix 1 cup in half a pail of warm water. Wear rubber gloves. Scrub furniture with cloth or brush. Works great.There are many other uses for this product, so the value is enormous! You can skip buying more costly fixes to many household cleaning and maintenance needs. I hope this helps you decide on whether this product is right for you. Peace.

I have now been using Borax in every load of laundry for six months and what a difference. I live in an area that has very hard water and this has been a game changer. It softens the water which boosts your laundry soap. Towels come out fresh and soft. Sports wear has no oder and comes out white with spots gone. I will continue to use Borax in all my loads even delicates. No more collar or under arm stains. Works great!

Works wonders as a laundry booster, removes stains, and keeps odors away. I also use it for cleaning and DIY projects. A natural, versatile product with endless uses. Great value for the price. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a safe and effective multipurpose cleaner!

In retrospect, I didn't need this much borax but it works great so I'm not upset. Super great deal.I use it mainly for cleaning cloth diapers, in the laundry, and as an abrasive for scrubbing. Also have used it to make roach bait/poison.

I never knew about all the amazing uses Borax has to offer. I like many saw the "life hack" of using a large amount of Borax and soaking sheets or a comforter overnight in the tub to give them a good deep clean. I didn't go that far, but instead went to their website, where there are endless uses for the product. I live in an area with extremely hard water. As a result, my clothes tend to start looking a bit dingy after a few washes. I even use a detergent meant for hard water. I discovered that by adding a 1/2 cup of Borax to my laundry, and using at least warm water to ensure it dissolves, that not only do all my clothes come out cleaner, but the dingy clothes return to better than new condition! They are bright, vibrant, and oh so clean.The funny thing is, my husband wasn't let in on this little secret, so when he took over the laundry for a bit, everyone in the household noticed that the clothes started to look dingy and dull again. He couldn't figure out what he was doing wrong. I told him about including Borax, but forgot to mention the warm water factor. There were a few loads where there was some white powder clinging to our darks :) A for effort. Now that he knows all the steps, our laundry is back to being flawlessly clean. That's saying a lot since we have 2 kiddos in elementary school.A nice tip, even if you need to use cold water for your wash, you can still use Borax. Just mix the Borax with some hot water until dissolved, and then when the washing machine is full with water, poor in the mixture. Only important thing to note is you must wash and rinse whatever container you have used thoroughly. Borax can be toxic if ingested. I use that to my advantage and line areas in the garage, where creepy crawlies might try to invade, with a thin line barrier. Stops them in their tracks!It's such a wonderful multi-use item that I wish I had discovered sooner!

Good all purpose cleaner to always have on hand. Helps boost laundry detergent. Decent price for 4 pack. Old standby for good reason.

I've been using Borax for quite a while. I use it for my whites in the washer. I also use it to wipe down the wallpaper in my home. Works great. I'll always use it and yes I recommend it
