About this deal

If you’ve been trekking through Tesco looking for borax, and you’ve been climbing the aisles in Asda searching for this talked about product, you’ve had a wasted journey because borax isn’t available to buy in the UK.

Please note, you cannot use borax in the UK or EU for pest control – you can read on for why not. Therefore this is only an option if you live outside of the UK or EU. Mould InhibitorSodium sesquicarbonate is the most similar, legal alternative to borax in the UK. It is a mixture of two salts (sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate). When combined, they mimic the appearance and properties of real borax. One study examined the reproductive health of rodents who were given extremely high levels of borax a human would never likely be exposed to. The only study I can find looking at the potential impact of borax on human reproductive health is this study. This investigates the reproductive effects of boron exposure in workers employed in a boric acid production facility.

Always cover the bowl/food processor to make the recipes with a dish towel to prevent inhalation and contamination of food/food surfaces. To clean your mattress, simply wet your mattress and rub in some borax with a damp cloth. Leave to dry, and then vacuum off the residue for a fresh clean mattress. Clean Cookware DIY Bath Salts – Borax substitute can be mixed with a couple of drops of essential oil or perfume to create a relaxing bath treat. You can even add food colouring to make it look a bit more interesting if you were making this for a gift. Borax substitute is an effective addition to your typical laundry routine for multiple reasons. One is that it will help to remove stains from your clothing and make white garments brighter. Give the product a stir before use and place 1-2 tablespoons into the drum (for high efficiency machines) or 31g (just less than 2 tablespoons) for UK machines, and add directly to the drum ( can be placed inside a small plastic cup, then just pop it on top of the clothes). Try and use the ‘warmest water possible’ for your clothing.

For this reason, borate chemicals have now been banned in the UK. Why is traditional borax banned UK? Fragrances are thought to be one of the main causes of irritation within laundry detergents. Fragrance remains in the clothes, because it is not removed in the rinse, and can lead to irritation for sensitive skins.
