*Borax, used in cleaning products and detergents to help clean and whiten clothes. It can also neutralise odours and help soften hard water. It also helps get rid of mould and mildew around the house.

**Keep out of reach of children, do not ingest any of these products.**

These ingredients can also be used to make laundry liquid, which is inexpensive and effective. I will show you how to make this on my next recipe post.
