Did you know even freshly washed laundry still harbors germs? Ugh! This is due to cooler wash temperatures and less phosphates in your detergent. You can still use your favorite products and have really, truly clean laundry by adding 1/2 cup of borax to your wash cycle. This magic ingredient is a natural salt mineral that blocks the growth of bacteria and fungi plus raises the pH of the wash water. This boosts the ability of your detergent to dissolve and remove germ-laden germs.
