What Is Borax?

One of the better-known brands which produce a borax substitute is Dri-Pak. This company is based in Derbyshire and is a family-run business which has been going since the 1960s, supplying a range of household goods to the many across the UK. When used in the washing machine, borax substitute keeps the water soft, which helps to reduce limescale buildup, meaning your washing machine will last longer and keep producing the freshest laundry.

This product will make a great addition to your cleaning supplies as Borax Substitute can be used safely on many surfaces: Sodium tetraborate is a derivative of boric acid and it actually occurs naturally as seasonal lakes cycle and evaporate repeatedly, leaving behind a buildup of crystal/powdery deposit which is the salt of boric acid. It is also used as a precipitating water softener, which combines with hard water minerals (calcium- and magnesium-based minerals) to form an insoluble precipitate, removing these hardness minerals from the water. This makes it effective for keeping washing machines and dishwashers free from limescale buildup. As well as the many cleaning properties of this product, it can also be used for a few other things – some which may prove quite entertaining and much more fun than scouring the bathroom. Just like borax, it’s substitute counterpart can be used for a whole host of cleaning applications.

Sodium Sesquicarbonate plus Surfactant

Since this substance has water within its crystal makeup (making it water-soluble) this means it can be mixed with cold water to form a paste.
