Life can be messy. And sometimes the normal detergent just won’t cut it for those especially stubborn stains. Luckily, 20 MULE TEAM® Borax can help to turn that laundry nightmare into a laundry legend.
When you’re washing your clothes you’re always looking for that “just-like-new” feeling where it seems like you just pulled the clothes off the rack. However, multiple washes can cause clothes to fade and look dingy or worn.
20 MULE TEAM® Borax combats this by helping detergent do a better job of cleaning clothes while making sure that they maintain their shine. Borax works as a great laundry booster and it helps normal laundry detergent get clothes even cleaner than an average wash.
Borax is effective at cleaning clothes and helping detergents work because it helps adjust the pH levels of the wash itself. Borax is a basic compound, so that means that when it is added to water the pH level of the water would move from a neutral 7 to a slightly more basic 8.
The combination of water and Borax allows detergent to work even better as it is easier for it to clean with a more basic water pH. The basic pH level allows detergent to combine with water more easily and get an even deeper clean. This is because the Borax literally attaches onto the more basic water molecules and can get a deep clean on even the toughest stains!
