As a laundry additive, borax provides moderate alkalinity buffering, and aids in loosening soils and stains. It is included in small amounts in some laundry detergent formulations and in most diaper presoak products where it inhibits development of ammoniacal odors. Borax can also be used for some household cleaning jobs, and as a deodorizer.
