its illegal to sell borax here in Singapore.. reason? I dont know..
anyway we use half and half baking soda and normal laundry soap (we are transitioning).. liquid soap and soap nits from organic stores are really expensive we cannot afford it..
I could buy 5kg baking soda from a wholesale store selling baking supplies for 15sgd (about 8usd)...
sometimes I experiment with boiled orange peel..(since we have lots of orange peels as we juice up to a dozen of oranges now adays) and it works to remove odors from our bathroom rugs...
