Earthborn Elements Borax Powder (2 lb), Multipurpose Cleaner & Detergent Booster, Resealable Tub

I mostly use it as a laundry booster and soaking in the tub. I love the container with scoop versus the cardboard box of another brand. I actually don’t remember if it came with a scoop or I grabbed one from my stash. Not a big deal but it is mostly solid and I use the scoop to scrape it loose. It does crumble easily, so it still dissolves completely. It may have clumped together because we live in the Pacific NW. That does not deter from it working as intended.

Purchased for use against spring ants in home and garden. An excellent way to solve this problem without using pesticides. Natural can mix with vinegar and use as a spray. There are many other uses as well especially cleaning purposes. Nice container for storage. Great value. Pleasant scent.

Mix with sugar and water to kill kitchen ants - careful: not on the floor if you have pets. Also very useful as household cleanser and in your wash.

I found the jar lid difficult to get open, because it is so wide in diameter that it was hard to get a good grip on, and then there was no internal sealant layer, so some of the granules scattered out when I finally got enough force applied to turn the lid. being a toxic chemical, there really SHOULD be a protective inner seal on the jar to prevent spillage when first opening the full jar. Don't believe their slime instructions of 1 cup of Borax in 1 cup water for 2 cups of glue, as that would ruin your batch of slime and waste your glue!! To make a very effective slime activator Borax solution, mix only 1/2 tsp Borax per 1/2 cup of hot water & put it in a squeeze bottle. Very little of this activator solution is necessary to activate a batch of glue. I just add it a small squirt at a time from a squeeze bottle & mix well before adding any more, just a few drops at a time, mixing and kneading well after each addition of more activator. It's so effective that even when careful, I often get it over activated, and end up working in a LOT more extra glue to get it back to a soft squishy consistency instead of stiff & rubbery from over-activation. I imagine their 1 cup Borax to 1 cup water for 2 cups glue would result in an immediate solid blob of rubberized glue, and could be rather irritable to one's skin with that much Borax.

Love this!!!!
