20 Mule Team Borax Natural Laundry Booster, 65 oz (Pack of 2)

Why the name 20 Mule Team? *Teams of mules were used to move millions of pounds of Borax from remote mines in the Valley of Death inaccessible to the Mojave Railroad. Originally, teams of eight and ten mules were used, but the trek proved too much. A man named Ed Stiles came up with the idea of pounding two teams of 10-mules together--twice the normal amount--resulting in a 100-foot-long team that took 10 days to haul 10 tons of borax one way across the desert. In 1894, a steam engine called the "Dinah" was introduced to replace the mules, but Dinah was no match for the power of the epic 20 team. She broke down and was towed back to the city by the mobs she tried to replace. Power or Borax works as hard as your mule kit's heritage, cleaning deep to tackle your toughest messes.
