Boraxo Powdered Hand Soap (12oz.)

this powder hand soap is the best hand soap I've ever used. No scent, not greasy, its gritty texture easily removes grease, oil, paint, glue, dirt, caulking, and whatever else you dirty your hands with, it will remove it. If you want to make your hands soft and gentle, buy something else. If you want to clean your hands and any other filthy body part, then get this. Perfect for mechanics, roofers, gardners, painters, hitmen, carpenters/ contractors, and anyone that works with things that dirty your skin.

I've been cleaning my hands with Boraxo almost my whole life. It takes off grime, paint, tar, grease motor oil and just about everything else. I was running low on it and decided to get another one.. I actually went to six stores looking for it and none of them carried the hand cleaner - only the laundry detergent. I was totally confused that no store carried that terrific product. Up here in Alaska there are lots of dirty hands in the summer. So I tried Amazon and lo and behold they had it. I ordered four containers. Also they shipped it right away and I got it within two days. No wonder Amazon is such a success story.

This product has always been my favorite hand cleaner. In my work I get ground in dirt and grease which gets left in the lines, scars,fingertips etc. but Borax effectively cleans them all. My only dislike is that the price has gotten so high I can't afford to use it as often as I would like.

Adhesion as a criterion? Whaaaat? Who wants adhesive hand cleaner?I work with cars and bicycles and have tried many hand cleaners, including petroleum- or orange- based ones. I was pleasantly surprised to find how much better this works to clean the hands, and without excessively drying or leaving an aromatic petroleum smell and coating on the hands. Goodbye to all the others. This has been my go-to for years.I was happy to find this on Amazon after my local hardware store was out of stock. Then I lucked out and found some old dusty cans of this at a local grocery store, cheap, and stocked up there. So for now Amazon won't be selling any to me, but really, I encourage you to give this a try.

I've been using Boraxo hand soap for about two years. Its simple formula leaves my hands feeling and smelling clean. Despite being "gritty" the powder is not abrasive at all. My skin isn't dry or oily feeling after use.It is mild enough I can even use it on my face. It just feels clean and comfortable. You can actually work up a pretty good lather if you use enough water.But there is an issue. The new blue, white and orange canister has a rust problem. The metal bottom of the canister leaves rust rings. It hasn't caused a stain, in fact it wipes off pretty easy. But the previous can, I think it was green and red, never had this issue. I can't remember if the bottom was plastic or what but it never left a trace.Now I'm trying to come up with a way to dispense this soap that doesn't require the pricey wall mounted dispenser.

It's unfortunate that this soap isn't advertised or marketed better. I first discovered it in my high school automotive class. A small amount of this soap will tear through grease and oil. It's nothing more than natural borax (which is safe and non toxic) and powdered soap.This is better than lava, better than cherry, better than orange, better than dirt, better than pumice, better than dawn.Nothing, literally nothing, out there is better than this soap. No more washing your hands multiple times and still being dirty.If you are a mechanic try this soap, I promise you won't be disappointed. (Full disclaimer, maybe it does dry out your hands just a tiny bit, nothing a touch of lotion won't cure.)

Good stuff, cleans major dirt and no odor. The only thing is that the Pumice or Borax or whatever is inside this is large and a not always pleasant to wash with. I wish the granular size were smaller. I like the fact that it is a dry powder and an alternative to GO-jo type products or Lava, all of which have a more powerful smell.

The money I spent on this I definitely feel is worth it! My husband is a plumber/pump and well technician. He would come home every day covered in grease, glue, adhesive. Everything. He tried Goop off and all sorts of different cleaners and BORAXO is the ONLY thing that works. You don't even have to use much! Just a little sprinkle of it, some water and light scrubbing and it took off everything the other cleaners said they wouldn't and didn't. Highly recommend!
