Dissolve sodium borate in warm water and add it to your laundry soap formula as directed, typically in the water phase for liquids or blended evenly into the dry mix for powders. Use only at recommended levels to boost cleaning and softening performance, then test your finished soap on a small load or inconspicuous fabric area. Avoid breathing dust, and wear gloves or protective gear when handling the dry powder.
