    Default Re: Alternate for Borax

    I went to 20 Mule Team Borax's website and found the following store locator that might help you:

    You can find a variety of 20 Mule Team Borax products at these major retailers and your local supermarkets.
    Wal-Mart Target Kroger Dollar General Family Dollar
    ShopRite Walgreens Meijer Publix Kmart
    CVS Food Lion Rite-Aid Supervalu Winn Dixie
    Wegmans Stop & Shop Giant Eagle HEB Safeway
    Nash Finch Jewel Hy-Vee

    I also saw an ad online that ACE Hardware sells it. Hope you have one of these type of stores near you where you can find some Borax!

    By the way -- in case some other posters are following this thread, PH Up is not the same thing as Borax. PH Up will raise both your ph AND your alk while Borax will only raise your ph. That is why, in most cases, it is preferable to PH Up.

    EDIT: I cut and pasted the info and it made it too close. I tried to edit this and move the names of the stores further apart so you could read it easier, but as soon as I re-posted it, they moved back together. Sorry about that! Hope you can still read it, though.
