A little bit about Borax
Borax (Sodium Borate) is a salt. A naturally occurring mineral that dissolves in water. It acts as a cleaner, deodorizer and stain remover. Often found in dry lake beds where the water has evaporated and left behind a mineral deposit. Borax is often used commercially in – you guessed it, laundry and cleaning products.
Removing Toxins from the home
If you or a family member has issues with skin irritation, or experiences breathing difficulties, these may be due to synthetic fragrances or chemicals in the products you are using. Reducing your exposure to these harmful substances doesn’t need to be overwhelming, nor complicated. Simply swapping the commercially produced products for more natural options is not only better for your health – but it also saves you so much money!
