Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had forgotten just how many applications Borax has... I used it faithfully years ago--in laundry, garbage disposal, trash bins, on carpets, in closets, in vehicles--it's effective anywhere dank odors can accumulate, and when you've got good borax powder on hand, you've got an economical, honest, odor free, chemically simple and stable all-purpose helper. It controls spiders and bugs from invading boxes in storage and in the garage, is useful in keeping cat boxes fresh; it's great in barns and stables, on concrete... Ever notice how aged bed linens, no matter how crisp, bleached and Febreezed when you stored them, after a few weeks folded on the shelf you go to change sheets and eww, there's that slight funky wiff of morning breath and scalp? (Yes, that happens to everyone lol) Makes you want to return them to the laundry, or maybe donate them to the rag-bag or charity, but don't! Just start adding borax to your washer, and no more stink. I even make sachets (from cut sections of old panty hose) filled with equal parts clay litter and borax. Just pop into winter boots and sneakers - - after a long day this draws the moisture and odor out like a magnet! Once you've explored its possibilities, there's no replacing it around the house. However, QUALITY MATTERS. Over time, unfortunately, the product on store shelves seemed to have increasingly declined, became more chalk- powdery, dusty, less crystallized, and not (frankly) effectively worth the mess it now leaves behind. So when I came across Millard's Borax here on Amazon, I was skeptical but hopeful... And was not disappointed! :) Once again I have a go-to around the house. It dissolves nicely in the washer, it's clean and bright, and no carpet powder can match it - -did I mention flea control? Plus no clogging the vacuum with superfine dust, no crusty residue left on countertops, no blobs of undissolved product in the washer or on wet clothes... It's even septic-safe and eco-friendly. What's not to love? Add that it comes in a sturdy plastic bag, so no soaked cardboard sticking to the shelf or useless bricks of the stuff in the bottom of the box. I could go on, but... Well, I hadn't intended to write a commercial, I haven't been compensated or been given discounts or free samples of anything from anyone--but when I received an nice email from the Millard family thanking me for trying their product and asking if I'd give an honest review, I felt moved to do so. In fact, if subscribe- and - save is an option, I'm going to sign up! The money I'll save in the long run will more than pay the bill. :)
