20 Mule Team Borax Uses and Giveaway

How many cleaning products do you have under your sink or cleaning closet? Go ahead I'll wait until you count them. How many products did you count?


This is what I found in my house:
Bathroom:
toilet cleaner
shower and tub cleaner
sink cleaner
counter top wipes
glass cleaner
Kitchen:
dish soap
dishwasher soap
glass cleaner
stainless steel cleaner
multi surface cleaner
stove cleaner
Laundry Room:
washing machine cleaner
stain remover
bleach
fabric softener

How many products do I really need to clean all those area?
not that many!!!  Make the switch to 20 Mule Team Borax and use less products and spend less cash.  Where can you buy Borax?  I pick up mine at Target, Wegmans, WalMart. Check your grocery store or  stores like these in your area.


20 Mule Team Borax has been cleaning household since 1891
It is 100 % Natural
Borax is the common name for sodium tetraborate, a naturally occurring substance produced by the perpetual evaporation of seasonal lakes. (never knew that)
Nothing is added to Borax, there are no phosphates, chlorine or other additive chemicals.

I've been adding 20 Mule Team Borax to my laundry for several years. It naturally softens hard water which protects your detergent from the ions in hard water, that makes your detergent able to do it's job.

How to do the laundry:
Add 1/2 cup of 20 Mule Team Borax to every load along with your regular detergent. I happen to like Purex detergent also made by the same company as 20 Mule Team Borax.  I started adding Borax to the wash to take care of musty smelling towels. It works like, well a team. It also removes stains so you can get rid of that bottle too.

 I also add 1/4 cup of 20 Mule Team Borax to the bottom of my dishwasher.
