where can i find real borax for making slime?

Borax has been banned in UK + EU since 2020. It's no longer available for sale here but I have found Borax Substitute does exactly as the old Borax did but is easier on the hands and kinder to our marine life and environment. It also has no nasties. It's less harsh than the original Borax but stronger than regular bicarbonate of soda. Ideal to add to diy laundry gels and surface cleaners to soften hard water and boost performance (also sorts out blocked drains in no time).

Where can I get genuine borax?

The EU has re-classified the 'Borate' group of chemicals that Borax belongs to, so it is no longer available as a cleaning and laundry product.

Can I use it to remove mould on my bedroom walls?

Hi,Borax kills mould and inhibits mould growth. It also kills germs and bacteria. It is a disinfectant, biocide, insecticide, pesticide, herbicide and fungicide.Hope this helps.Warm RegardsThe Carbolic Soap Company
