An ancient mineral derived that has been used for centuries in various cleaning applications and still is today. It has passed the test of time and proven its value in cleaning.

  • Stain Remover: Thanks to its alkaline nature Borax helps break down and emulsify oily or greasy stains, making them easy to remove and rinse away.
  • A famous laundry booster: Acts as a buffer helping to stabilise the pH in the laundry wash and soften hard water, this ensures that the cleaning agents like soap can work optimally.
  • Deodorising agent: Neutralises acidic odours and eliminates musty smells, useful for a fresher scent in the laundry.

Under Your Sink Products

I’ve bought several products from Under Your Sink since I’ve decided to do as much of our cleaning greener. I’m impressed by the packaging (brown paper bags), I’m close by so I can pick up, and I’d never go back to non-green cleaners, not even eco cleaners. I’ve used them for cleaning the bathroom, including shower screen and loo, in the laundry for normal washing and oxygen bleaching, and I’m about to make dishwasher tablets. We have a worm-farm black water system so using worm friendly products is important.
