Detergent powder is a cleaning product that is composed of a combination of BORAX and other ingredients. BORAX, also known as sodium borate, is a naturally occurring mineral salt that has been used for centuries as a cleaning agent. It is an effective disinfectant and can be used to remove dirt, grease, and stains from fabrics. BORAX is also used in laundry detergents to help soften water and reduce the amount of soap needed to clean clothes.
