Borax, also known as sodium borate, is a naturally occurring mineral that has been used for generations as a laundry booster, household cleaner, deodorizer, water softener, and mold-cleaning aid. On Earth Clinic, borax has been discussed for many years by readers using it in real-world household routines, giving this topic a decade-plus history of community feedback and practical experience.
When used properly for laundry and cleaning, borax can be an effective and inexpensive product. However, it is still a mineral chemical and should be handled carefully: avoid inhaling the powder, keep it away from children and pets, do not get it in the eyes, and do not ingest it unless under qualified guidance.
