Borax is quite the all rounder when it comes to laundry washing! It softens water making soap more effective at cleaning. It also sanitizes, brightens and carries away odours - it really is a great natural ingredient. Traditionally used in the laundry as it gently cleans, deodorizes & brightens clothes. It's brightening abilities are due to the small amount of free oxygen created when diluted in water. This is the same process of brightening that you get with oxygen bleach, just not as strong. Safe on all textiles including wool and delicates - it is especially good for soaking vintage textiles like lace where being gentle is a must. This traditional cleaner is also effective at treating mould in the home and on textiles.
It is found in deposits from dried up lakes, which makes it a natural cleaning agent. There are ground deposits in Turkey, China and the USA. Interestingly, there are stories of preferred places and streams used by American Indians to wash their clothes and textiles - these places where found to wash clothes better than other waterways - turns out these streams originated near borax ground deposits and resulted in cleaner clothes!
