Borax is a detergent used in the US for a myriad of things, including getting rid of a flea infestation in carpets and furniture. (I don't have fleas! I'm asking for a friend, honest!)

Is there a similar over-the-counter product sold in the UK that has Borax in it?

Hi Lisa

I hope you not thinking of using Borax on you sofas

Larger outlets of Boots sell Borax although they may have to go and find it for you as it's not so common now.

There is also Laundry Borax you can buy.

I told you, they aren't my fleas!

Ooooh, Borax, here? Yes, it's the laundry stuff I was talking about...made the wrong assumption. Thank you ever so much!
