This natural substitute for Borax is a multipurpose cleaner, stain remover and water softener. This eco-friendly borax substitute is also known as Sodium sesquicarbonate - a mineral compound crystal of soda crystals and sodium bicarbonate. It has a similar pH to borax, making it ideal for cleaning and laundry. It combines the abrasive power of Bicarbonate of soda with the instant degreasing power of soda crystals to make a powerful and effective natural cleaner.

Sodium Sesquicarbonate is a great all-purpose cleaning solution for cleaning many household items and surfaces all around your home. It effectively removes stains from clothes, boosts laundry detergent, softens water and aids with overall cleaning. It is also highly effective at removing limescale, cleaning surfaces and floors, baths, sinks and bins.

Clean surfaces: all-purpose cleaning

Dissolve two tablespoons of borax substitute in a litre of hot water. Spray or wipe the solution onto surfaces. Otherwise, sprinkle Borax Substitute onto surfaces and wipe down with a clean damp cloth. Do not use on aluminium surfaces.

Stubborn stains in kitchens and bathrooms

Clean and remove stains in kitchens and bathrooms. To remove stubborn stains, make a paste of Borax Substitute and apply directly to the stain. Leave for a few minutes and then wipe off. To make a gentle scouring paste, mix equal quantities of Borax Substitute, Bicarbonate of Soda and Salt, then add water to make a paste. Simply apply to surface equipment and then wipe clean.

Boost Laundry detergent

Add two tablespoons to your detergent dispenser to soften water and aid cleaning.

Pre-soak your laundry

Add approximately 200g of Borax Substitute to a bucket of hot water. Add clothes and leave to soak. Wash as normal after soaking. For difficult stains, make a paste of Borax Substitute with water and apply directly to the stain. Allow to stand and then wash as normal.
