It might seem like I talk an awful lot about laundry. Maybe that is because I am up to my ears in laundry every day, and I am never, ever caught up with this monotonous chore. Like, not even close to caught up. I am always in awe when I hear someone say that they're caught up. How on earth is that possible? I don't get it. But anyway, I do like our clothes to look nice and fresh and sometimes that can be a challenge. For that reason, a laundry booster, like 20 Mule Team Borax, can be really beneficial.I've been adding a tablespoon or two to my washing machine before washing a load of white/light colored laundry, and sometimes to towels and bedding too. Actually, I don't measure. I just sprinkle a little bit into my front loader before adding the laundry to the machine. I then use detergent as I normally would. Basically, Borax, which is a 100% natural mineral (chemical name: sodium tetraborate) with nothing added, helps to soften hard water, which in turns helps keep stains from setting. You may not think you have hard water, but over 85% of homes do, so there is a good chance that you do, too! Hard water contains calcium and magnesium. The instructions say to use 1/2 cup per load, but I don't think I've ever used that much and I still notice a difference.
Okay, the chemistry lesson is over.
The bottom line is, do you use Borax, or if you don't, would you like to try it? Then I have good news! Three MichiGal winners will each win 1 box of 20 Mule Team Borax. Just use the Rafflecopter form below to enter!
