In early January we finally moved into our new house and wow…we still have a ton of unpacking and organizing to do. One of the things I am not impressed with at our new house is our hard water which comes from our personal well. I have never dealt with hard water before, so it has been a total learning process for me.
Hard water was really driving me nuts in regards to my family’s laundry. Our clothing and household linens were not coming out as clean as they used to and the static cling was a nightmare! My whites didn’t look nice and bright anymore and I felt like I needed some hardwater help!
The folks over at 20 Mule Team sent me a big box of their Borax Laundry Booster to try out for all of you. I have never used Borax before so I was excited to give the product a try. The 20 Mule Team Borax is a 100% natural mineral that is harvested from seasonal lakes here on Earth.
Borax is the common name for sodium tetraborate, a naturally occurring substance. Absolutely nothing is added to the product, no phosphates, no chlorine or other additive chemicals. Once Borax is removed from the ground, it is washed, dried and boxed for consumers.
When you add detergent to hard water, some of the compounds attach to calcium and magnesium granules which settle on the bottle of your washing machine, eventually going down the drain without actually cleaning your clothes. I don’t know about all of you…but I don’t like wasting laundry detergent nor my precious time when it comes to doing my family’s laundry.
20 Mule Team Borax is really easy to use! You simply add a 1/2 cup of Borax to every load of laundry that you are washing and your done! It will naturally soften the hard water which protects your laundry detergent which maximizes your detergent’s cleaning power! Yeah!
I immediately got busy using the Borax and after 2 loads of laundry….I could immediately see a difference. Our clothing and linens were clean again, static cling was dramatically reduced and well, they just smelled good again! I was one happy mamma again! wootwoot!
