I have never had it damage or discolor my carpet but you want to to test it first. Borax is very inexpensive and can be found in the laundry detergent section of your local grocery store. |
I dusted my entire yard with Borax over a week ago. Never tried this before - hope it is one more step to keeping fleas out of the house
