Odor: characteristic
Use: Since the late 1800s when borax was first mined in Death Valley, California, households all over have used a product known as 20 Mule Team Borax as a laundry booster and multipurpose cleaning agent for everything from cleaning hair brushes to removing stains from clothes or carpets to cleaning toilet bowls. Toiletrymakers use borax as an emulsifier in conjunction with beeswax (ration 18:1 beeswax to borax) and as a natural preservative in making products such as creams and lotions.
