You can find borax by going on line to companies who sell to people who make homemade soaps & bath products. I bought some last year but somehow I have mislaid the name¦..I will keep searching for it. I got other products like citric acid at the same time. The delivery was very fast I remember & definitely cheaper than buying it elsewhere. Wilkinsons used to sell borax but they have discontinued it now. *** Ah, I just found one of the companies I have bought from in the past. http://mistralie.co.uk/catalogue/product/313/Boric…..d-Granules | " It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome."

| | Brightspark. Hi. Sugar and salt with a little oil and a few drops of essence makes a brilliant hand scrub. I gave pots for presents last December and everyone was thrilled at how good it is. |

I love this idea. I think I will look for some cheap shower caps at the pound shop. I feel these may work better on lunch wraps than containers or bags; the wraps fall open if not in something tight~ It's worth a try.

| |  Welcome to the forum Lillia, good to have you with us. 
Not sure I agree with your proposed use of the shower caps, unless i was assured of the plastic being food grade. Pound shops don't take that much care over where their products come from, just buying the cheapest. When staying in hotels etc I have come across shower caps with very strong chemical smells, which I would not even put on my head. | " It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome."
