I received a box of 20 Mule Team Borax detergent booster today just in time for laundry day. I was very excited about reviewing this product as I've never tried it before. Let me tell you .... this product is fabulous!!
20 Mule Team Borax is 100% natural mineral from the earth. Once removed from the ground it is washed, dried, and boxed for consumers. Borax (sodium tetraborate) is a naturally occurring substance produced by the perpetual evaporation of seasonal lakes. Absolutely NOTHING is added! Borax naturally softens hard water which over 85% of homes hae. Hard water contains calcium and magnesium. When you add detergent to hard water, some of the compounds attach to calcium and magnesium granules that settle on the bottom of the washing machine and eventually retreat down the drain without cleaning your clothes which is a waste of detergent. By adding 1/2 cup of Borax to every load, along with your regular PUREX detergent you will find that it improves your laundry deterents cleaning power and helps keep stains from being re-deposited back into clothes.
I myself have three kids, two basketball players and a cheerleader/dancer, which means I have tons of smelly, sweat stained laundry. After adding Borax to my laundry loads today, I am thrilled to say I am so impressed. My clothes came out stain free, clean, and soft. I will definitely be using Borax as part of my regular laundry from now on.
