'''Borax''' (also know as sodium borate, disodium tetraborate, and sodium tetraborate) is a white, crystalline compound. It is naturally occurring, and can be mined in some places like [[California]]. This alkaline substance has been used for numerous purposes through many centuries. It is perhaps best known as a cleaning agent, although it is also sometimes used in tanning, and in manufacture of glass, metals (as a flux), porcelain, and enamel.<ref>https://www.dictionary.com/browse/borax</ref> It can also be used as a preservative (for non-food items) and a mild antiseptic.<ref name="wisegeek.com">https://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-borax.htm</ref><br />
