20 Mule Team Borax Review & Coupon Giveaway

About: Borax is the common name for sodium tetraborate: a naturally occurring substance produced by the repeated evaporation of seasonal lakes.   20 Mule Team® Borax is 100% natural, and 99.5% pure (there is about a half of 1% of naturally occurring trace minerals). Once removed from the ground it is washed, dried, and boxed for consumers.   Borates, borax and boron compounds are with us throughout our lives. Families use it to soak and wash diapers and other laundry, but it’s also an ingredient in cosmetics, medicines, ceramics and building materials.

20 Mule Team Borax comes from California where one of the world’s largest deposits was discovered in 1913.  Absolutely nothing is added. No phosphates, per-oxside, chlorine, or other additive chemicals.

Important note: Keep 20 Mule Team Borax out of reach of children. It is also recommend that you label any containers containing 20 Mule Team Borax solutions to identify the contents.
 
Review: I have read a few blog posts using Borax for making your own laundry detergent.  I have never really had the desire to do this; what I wasn't aware of was all the great uses Borax has.  The first time I opened up the box and poured some into the wash.  It was a load of particularly smelly clothes and I was hoping for some odor control from the Borax.  In combination with my regular detergent it worked; the clothes were nice and fresh when they came out of the dryer.

A few days later I decided to sprinkle some on the carpet in our hallway.  This carpet gets a lot of wear and the dog periodically will have an accident at night.  Now I will admit I didn't get down and smell the carpet before and after but it did make me feel better about the kids playing there.

I am still truly amazed at all the uses this inexpensive box could help me with around the house and will continue to take advantage of the mighty power of Borax.
