I am broke and out of bleach and need to do whites?

I have some borax, if I add that to the detergent will it get them fairly clean?

    Borax doesn't really have a bleaching action but it does get things very clean.  I regularly use it as a laundry booster.

    You can use distilled white vinegar or ammonia.

    You would be better off using lemon juice if you have it. Just add one cup of lemon juice to your regular laundry detergent and wash it in hot water.

    Urine works, but only if you have asparagus first.
