Borax is a cost-effective alternative to cleansers for the bath %26 kitchen tub %26 sinks that effectively removes scum oils without strong chemical odors, it's also a great booster for laundry effective on odors. I had forgotten about Borax until I joined Walmart %26 have been shopping for more of my household needs online. I remember my mother used Borax in the 50s/60s as a laundry booster %26 for general cleaning. Borax has been used for thousands of years on the planet %26 150 years in the USA for a wide range of uses. So far I've not been disappointed. I'm still experimenting with it but if you, like me %26 millions of others in America trying to limit exposure to strong chemicals this may be for you, too. I do wish it was in a plastic container not a box. I keep the box in a plastic bag to prevent spillage %26 limit its natural light fragrance from permeating other products on my shelves. Easy to use directions are on the box for bathroom cleaning %26 laundry.

I bought this to use on my carpets to kill fleas and it worked so well my dog came in the room and took a nap immediately. It apparently has a residual effect because they haven't come back in that area either. This is an inexpensive way to help control fleas.
