Ladies,
Please help! I'm trying to create a greener living by making my own all purpose cleaning spray..but have no idea where to find Borax or hydrogen peroxide, as they are not available in the average PnS..
Much appreciated!

Hydrogen Peroxide is available at Mannings. Try an outlet with a pharmacy, they can help you. Also any local chemist should have it.

I actually went to Fanda to try to find Borax and they had absolutely no idea what I was talking about - in the end they sold me boric acid, which is not what I wanted because it's more of a pesticide than a cleaning product (I discovered this once I got home and looked online for some answers). However, I did find Borax at the American outlet store called 'Gateway' in Sheung Wan.
In terms of castile soap, well it's basically any soap made predominantly of vegetable oils, specifically olive oil. I managed to find some in Fanda, but it was $65 for just a little bit so I'm not going to be using that very often for all my cleaning products. I'm still looking for a cheaper source of olive oil soap (castile soap). Supposedly Dr Bronner's soaps are castile soaps, but the only place I know that sells this brand is City Super so it's bound to be pretty expensive to use regularly.
I'm also trying to figure out where in the world to find washing soda - this is listed as an ingredient in making 'green' household cleaners and I remember my mom used to always use it (in the US). I haven't found it anywhere yet and all the local pharmacies look at me like I'm crazy when I come asking for it. If anyone knows where to find some I'd be grateful.
Good luck!

I had the same problem finding washing soda. I ended up buying a bulk package and I have way more than I can use. I'd be glad to give you some. Thanks, also, for figuring out where to find Borax. It's an impossibility trying to ask for that in most stores here. Send me an email if you're interested.

Dear 'wterpstra'
I'll definitely send you an email about the washing soda - I still haven't found any! Thanks!

You can find borax at Gateway store across Wing On Department Store in Central.
Washing soda at Citysuper store in Time Square, Dr. Bronner liquid soap at the pharmacy at Citysuper as well.

There is a tiny little store in Kennedy Town (on Belcher's Street, across from Westwood Plaza on the right hand side of the road) that sells imports from the U.S. They've recently brought in some Kirk's Castille Soap and I didn't buy it all so they should have some left.
