Boost Your Laundry with 20 Mule Team Borax Review & 3 Winner Giveaway + THE Borax 171 Winner $1500 Sweeps *Expired*

Have you ever heard of Borax?  I really had not.  But now, I am a true believer and will have it in my house all the time!

20 Mule Team Borax is 100% natural mineral from the Earth.  It is removed from the ground, washed, dried and boxed.  There are no additives, no phosphates and no chlorine or chemicals added!  It is used in laundry to help reduce the affects of hard water – which I deal with a lot – and it helps keep stains from redepositing onto clothes while washing.

#Borax

I used it with my Purex detergent the other day while doing laundry. Curious to see if adding 1/2 a cup of 20 Mule Team Borax to every load would make a difference in the softness and cleanliness of my clothes.  Something that is super important with kids!

So I tossed in some soiled clothing from the sandbox, added the Borax and washed the load.  Now, I will say, I could not tell the difference  right away but the dirt stained knees of my kids jeans were gone and the clothes smelled soft and clean!   So far, I am liking this additive to my laundry!  And I like that I can use it in my kitchen and bathroom too to help clean and deodorize!
