Borax

Borax is one of the most versatile cleaning agents to have on hand in your home. Sodium tetraborate is a natural mineral found all over the world. It is useful as a multi-purpose cleaner, a laundry detergent and booster, it can soften hard water, remove grease and grime, and remove tough stains and soap scum. I use it in both my powder laundry detergent recipe and my liquid laundry detergent recipe. Overall winner with the many uses you get out of one product!
