Borax, or sodium tetraborate, is a salt that is used to eliminate odors around the home. It can remove odors from clothes—especially food odors and cooking grease.

Made with natural plant oils, this powerful laundry odor remover leaves your fabrics smelling fresh and clean. Simply add a capful of the laundry booster to your rinse cycle and let it work its magic. It's perfect for sports gear, pet bedding, linens, blankets, thrifted clothes, cloth diapers, and more.

They're essentially the same thing—plastic-free sheets of concentrated laundry detergent whose ingredients are held together by a resin and dissolvable paper. They're low-sudsing and dissolve in cold or hot water. And they'll save space in your laundry room cabinet.
