Bought it for "slime?" Now use it for laundry!
20 Mule Team Borax is a product to which I had given zero thought since I saw it regularly on my mother's laundry shelf, well over 50 years ago.
I bought a box recently for making "slime" with my granddaughter.
After that I just placed it on my laundry shelf and forgot about it.
Recently, I happened to notice that the box had on it the words “detergent booster.”
I had just tossed a load of my husband's work clothes in the washer, and I thought, “okay, why not?”
I added a handful to the washer, and let me tell you, those clothes later came out of the dryer super clean and as fresh smelling as if I had just pulled them off the clothesline.
I use this product every time I wash a load of laundry now. I am in the habit of rinsing my laundry twice, and that along with the borax has made everything cleaner and fresher smelling than ever before.
I laid in a supply of four boxes, and I plan never to be without this washday product again.
If you bought a box for your kids to use for making “slime,” consider using the remainder with your laundry.
I think you will be pleased.
