Question: Is Arm & Hammer Lasundy booster super washing soda powder Yellow 55oz Box ) the same as borax?

[@theguardianschoice]

No, Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda and borax are not the same, though they are sometimes used for similar purposes in cleaning and laundry. Here's a comparison: Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda (Sodium Carbonate) Chemical name: Sodium carbonate. Uses: It’s a water softener, stain remover, and general cleaner. Often used to boost the cleaning power of laundry detergent. pH: Highly alkaline (pH ~11). Appearance: White powder. Function: Helps break down grease, neutralize odors, and remove tough stains. Borax (Sodium Tetraborate) Chemical name: Sodium tetraborate. Uses: A multipurpose cleaner, deodorizer, and antifungal agent. Commonly used in laundry, DIY cleaning products, and even slime-making. pH: Moderately alkaline (pH ~9.5). Appearance: White crystalline powder. Function: Cleans, deodorizes, and helps soften water. Key Differences: Chemical Composition: They are distinct compounds with different chemical structures. pH Levels: Washing soda is more alkaline than borax, making it stronger for cutting grease but potentially harsher on delicate fabrics. Uses: While they overlap in some cleaning applications, borax has unique uses (e.g., pest control, making slime) that washing soda does not. You can use both products together in certain cleaning tasks, but they serve slightly different purposes.

Is there a reason why the area needs to be wiped clean again before applying again? I ask because I am treating lower, hard to reach kitchen cabinets and I would rather add more versus clean and reapply. Thank you!

get a bucket of some borax powder, trap a roach live and get him in the bucket, cover him up with the borax and release him, he goes back to the other's and begins destroying the rest, might take some time ( two weeks ) , but this method worked for me, 100% PS the more you trap and release, the sooner, the better !

Nadico, this is series, but how do you catch a cockroach? You can't use rope.

[@johnsavaryn1440]

you can spray them also with a powder duster, but just whack them in the bucket @@chriswatkins8711

[@johnsavaryn1440]

I know it can be tricky, but spraying them with powder duster borax is easier@@chriswatkins8711
