Hi Susan and everyone That was a lucky save, and the piece looks lovely. Just so you know, Borax is the common name for the naturally occurring crystalline element sodium tetraborate decahydrate, and Borateem though mostly borax, has a few additives. Both are just fine for whitening fabrics, though where borax can be used instead of Borateem, it isn't always advisable the other way around. I found the information, and more, here: http://sciencing.com/differences-between-borax-borateem-6807440.html
