    Can you use it on colored clothes? Borax acts as bleach so I’m a bit skeptical.

      In my experience, yes. HOWEVER, I’m one of those “welcome to the laundry gauntlet” type people. I do not care for my clothes the way I should. Everything just get washed with little regard, unless it’s something hand made crochet or knit. But I’ve never noticed any bleaching or white spots.

      You probably could, but IMO that’s an excessive amount of borax in the recipe. Most washing mixes only use a tiny amount of borax, it’s mostly soap/detergent and sodium carbonate (washing soda)
