Question 1

How do I use this with a front loader?

Accepted Answer

This is a General Comment to Some of the Ans.. Folks- If you "Don't Know", pleeze, don't answer! We're not obligated to ans. anything.  1 . Read the box /bottle ☆Warnings☆ Found Listed-often in Fine Print- on the back or sides of all Cleaning Products  2. Never. Mix.  Additives:  OK to add later,  *after* Rinse. Why: mixing some  products in same load cause noxious/toxic gasses emitted in your home!  3.* Unless instructions state otherwise* products dissolve just fine in the tub as machine fills w/water 4.  Like any top loader, detergent may be added @ anytime, after machine is full or if pressed for time, do Prewash Cycle w/Additive. U can always" Pause" to add your detergent directly into tub-preferably not on contents --Reminder: A little detergent goes a *long* way in Front End Loaders esp. if using Additives.  5. Vinegar is great , used Alone or added to RINSE CYCLE.  Do Not mix vinegar with Borax/Baking Powder/OxyClean, or w/any Peroxide Type  (Non-Bleach) Alternatives simultaneously!  Use 1 product + detergent in wash cycles, 1 product in Rinse Cycle , Rinse Twice. ☆ If you have pets, birds,fish,  mixing the wrong products will emit noxious gasses which may cause serious  upper-respiratory problems; Similarly for yourself & youngsters. Adding too much or too many to ultra-sensitive Front End Loaders also creates abundance of suds which  (a) Can ruin clothing (b) Will take hours+ H2O to rinse out +clean machine (c) Causes mold (d) Eventually destroys motor.  When in doubt REVISIT *your* Washing Machine's Instructions. Read box&bottle WARNING , Rule of Thumb  ☆LESS is BEST☆

Question 2

does it contain phosphates?

Accepted Answer

20 Mule Team Borax is a naturally occurring compound that is found in arid regions similar to salt plains in Utah or Nevada. The mineral itself is made up of Sodium, Oxygen and Boron to create Sodium Tetraborate (Na2B4O7 • 10H2O) and is mined in Central and Southern California. The compound is considered a salt and actually shares many chemical properties with average table salt.

Question 4

Will this borax kill nail fungus in laundry?

Accepted Answer

If you're looking to kill nail fungus at the source search for Oregano Oil on Amazon and read the reviews.
Oregano oil can cause a burning sensation for about fifteen minutes then go away, it will separate the wimps from the tough. The 80/20 blend of Oregano Oil and Olive oil is recommended because 100% oregano oil is too strong.
