Review: One cleaner to rule them all - This product is THE BEST. Greasy, stained hands? No problem. You can use it in pots, clothes, skin, to clean your grill… everywhere. It’s gritty and doesn’t have a fragrance, but it smells good and clean. It comes in a large cardboard box that may not be the easiest thing to handle when your hands are dirty, but it’s just a wonderful product. Great value for money; this one box will last you a long time.
Review: Great Stuff! - Was really disappointed that the old 20 mule team boraxo isn't available anymore. I bought this as it was available. At first I wasn't excited about the slight chemical smell, but it sure cleans well!! I've been through 2 boxes already, just got my 3rd. Definitely a repeat customer!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not Boraxo but close!
*by R***O on August 2, 2026*

A suitable substitute for Boraxo. Our son is a diesel mechanic and when he visits us after work he'll get his hands pretty clean with this stuff. I use it regularly after working in the yard or garage. While there may be nothing quite like Boraxo, this stuff is close.
