I have wondered about throwing some of my Twenty Mule Team into the bath water. Thanks for this post. So you didn't turn orange, sprout horns, or have all your body hair turn to lettuce? I was not sure how safe direct skin contact would be. It is nice to slide between freshly washed sheets when using the borax, I seem to sleep better, and I do not normally sleep well at all. ( which is one reason I'm posting this at 4:30 am)
