5.0 out of 5 stars Best Hand Soap Ever, December 30, 2009

We've used this product for years. My husband likes to work on cars and has found this to be the best hand soap for removing grease and dirt. Boraxo is mined out of the earth and it's granular consistency works better than any other product in the removal of grease and dirt. All you do is pour a little in your hand, add water, work up a lather and rinse. If you still have some dirty spots, just add a little powder and scrub those spots, then rinse. It is a natural, organic product that is not harsh to your skin. I even use it as a facial scrub for smooth, young looking skin.

In the kitchen, Boraxo removes the smell of diced onions/garlic from hands. It has a clean fragrance and leaves skin feeling silky and smooth. My skin is sensitive and some soaps and detergents cause me to break out in a rash or in hives, not so with Boraxo.

Boraxo contains Sodium Tetraborax Decahydrate and Fine Toilet Soap. It doesn't leave your hands feeling dry or chapped the way some heavy duty hand soaps that contain fatty acids and petroleum can.

We used to buy this product when we lived on the west coast since it was originally mined in Death Valley, California, and is easily purchased in that area. After moving to Texas, we have not been able to find this product. My husband was pleased when I told him I had found Boraxo on Amazon.com and had ordered six canisters. We prefer the 12 ounce canisters over the 5 lb. box. The packaging on the canister is water resistant and the canisters hold up after extensive use, even in the shower. The 5 lb. box is cardboard and falls apart easily from wet hand usage.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great Soap, Misleading Information, March 10, 2010

I want to start out by saying that I am a big fan of Boraxo soap. I've used it since I was a kid for cleaning up after getting filthy working outdoors - the grittiness of it does a great job removing dirt and grease. The soap itself I would rate as FIVE STARS, but my problem is with the item description. Between the first listed weight (11 pounds) and the drastically reduced price, it's really easy to assume that the order is for a case of Boraxo canisters, but that's NOT what you get. It's only ONE CAN, so the price is very misleading (a single can of Boraxo usually costs around $5 at most, so the deal Amazon shows is false, you're saving a buck or two at best). If you're going to order this, I'd recommend buying multiple to try and save on shipping, because I'd say it's not worth it for the shipping costs when you're not even "saving" more than a couple dollars for a single can. I'll admit I'm pretty disappointed in Amazon with the misleading advertising on this one.

I have used this product for about 30 years and feel that nothing does a better job at cleaning my hands then Boraxo Powdered Hand soap. It gets off the grease and dirt that all others leave behind without leaving a film that needs to be washed off with other soaps.
