Win It!: 20 Mule Team Borax

3:07 PM    84 comments

Win It!: 20 Mule Team Borax
When Purex sent me the fun package below with 20 Mule Team Borax, it reminded me of happy memories from driving through the California desert and seeing signs for the Twenty Mule Team Museum. Using Borax is natural way to soften hard water which is important for improving your detergent's cleaning power. It can also help to remove stains and keep stains from re-depositing onto clothes.
I am a fan of natural products and 20 Mule Team Borax is a great one because it is 100% natural mineral from the earth. It is removed from the ground, washed, dried, and boxed. Absolutely nothing is added! There is no chlorine, phosphates, or other additives.

This Borax can be used for cleaning around the house or as a laundry booster. I use it as a laundry booster.  We have hard water which has compounds that attach to calcium and magnesium granules that settle on the bottom of our washing machine. They eventually fall down the drain without actually cleaning clothes.  It is such a waste of detergent.  In my mission to increase the effectiveness of our detergent, I've been adding 1/2 cup of 20 Mule Team Borax to each load. I use Purex Baby with the Borax as a laundry booster and they work well together. We are potty training, so I like using a gentle laundry detergent, but I see the boost from the Borax since we have a lot of toddler clothing that gets messy

I bet that you are now wondering - Where can I get Borax? It is easily available at many stores such as Target, Kroger, Walmart, and more.
