Borax

Borax, a naturally occurring mineral, is a versatile substance with various applications. Commonly known as sodium borate, it is often used as a cleaning agent, laundry booster, and insect repellent. In cleaning, borax can be mixed with water to create an effective solution for tackling stains, mold, and mildew. As a laundry booster, it enhances detergent performance and helps soften water. Additionally, borax serves as an insecticide, especially against ants and cockroaches.
