Review: Versatile Household Essential That Works for Everything - This Pure Original Ingredients borax has become indispensable in our household for multiple purposes. The 1-pound size is perfect for home use without taking up excessive storage space, and the quality is noticeably superior to generic brands I've used in the past. The powder is fine and dissolves completely without any gritty residue. What impressed me most is how effective it is for various cleaning applications. I use it regularly for laundry boosting, carpet deodorizing, and general household cleaning. It enhances my regular detergent's performance significantly, especially for removing stubborn stains and odors from workout clothes and kids' clothing. The natural cleaning power means I can reduce my reliance on harsh chemical cleaners. My kids love using this for slime-making projects, and it creates perfect slime consistency every time. The purity of this product makes it ideal for craft activities - no unwanted additives or impurities that can affect texture or safety. The powder measures easily for recipes and mixes thoroughly without clumping. The multipurpose nature provides excellent value. Instead of buying separate products for different cleaning tasks, this one ingredient handles numerous household needs effectively. I use it for ant deterrent around entry points, toilet bowl cleaning, and even as a water softener for hand washing delicate items. The packaging clearly lists the pure borax content with no fillers or additives. The resealable container keeps the powder dry and fresh, and the labeling includes safety information and various use suggestions. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a pure, effective, multipurpose household product - excellent quality and versatility at a great price.
Review: This Borax is great & is NOT expensive...(?) - Well, the package arrived...inside of a package... & It claims "100% Pure Borax" — technically, ...that is not really possible, at all. HOWEVER! Practically, it could be 100% borax...(?) So, ...is it that?—Well! It certainly looks like very refined Borax. It is fine & consistent, &, in my hand, it certainly has the feel of Borax. It certainly smells like Borax. And it most certainly has the taste of Borax*. Unless I am caught up in some elaborate hoax... I'd say ~"Yes! This is practically 100% Borax;" OR, in other words, this is basically the purest Borax I personally have ever seen...(?) Which is great! Because contrary to what many reviewers have claimed, that this Borax is expensive; ...that's simply not true! It may be more expensive relative to Rio Tinto's "20,000 Mules Under the Sea..." BUT! That is a very different quality of Borax—it is packaged, distributed, stocked, & purchased to primarily be used as or with a detergent. And you might choose to purchase that Borax...that is still good. Because Borax is ubiquitous, and depending on what you are purchasing with Borax as an ingredient...and, rest assured, you are most likely purchasing Borax, even if you don't realize it...relatively speaking, you could be paying the same as this...(?) More than likely you are purchasing it anywhere from +100% (i.e., double) the price... +1000% the price... I'll stop at +10,000% the price, but that's NOT the ceiling...not by a long shot (…2oz by volume for $20...?—That is real...!!). Borax itself just happens to be one of those products with an incredibly broad range of use, yet wasn't handed down from generation to generation as a common use product...at least not in the traditional sense. Borax has been "reinvented" a hundred times over as part of all sorts of proprietary formulations for use in all sorts of industries. I've known about Borax for a long time...but purely by luck & not realizing its potential for some time after that! My freshman year in High School; the most Senior Shop Teacher was on his last year before retirement, he had managed the department since the day it had opened in 1964...and in 1964, Borax made for an excellent hand cleaner for young adults exiting a shop to go to their next class. & Nearly 35 yrs later, Borax made for an excellent hand cleaner for young adults exiting a shop to go to their next class. It still works as an excellent hand cleaner (some people experience irritation..? I've never seen that...); it's granular, it's an exfoliant...if you go to town with an exfoliant on your skin...yeah, you will experience irritation, Borax or not! I think this Borax is much more refined & consistent than competitors' offerings. This makes it easier to use in my opinion...(?) Especially as a booster for laundry detergent because Borax doesn't instantly dissolve in water...it takes time with larger granules and that only makes it less effective & is wasteful...(?). Anyhow, I am willing to recommend this Borax. It's a fine product at an unbelievably fair price. So is 20 Mules! It's just coarse & takes longer to dissolve (that's a limiting factor in my view). BUT! There are few products that I can think of with such a broad use value — do the research! Save money! You've been lied to your entire life!!! ...Well, maybe that's overselling it a bit, but you get my point...(?) BORAX! *DO NOT eat Borax!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What country does the borax come from and what country is it packaged?**
A: Pure Organic Ingredients is mined and refined in the United States and is packaged in American Fork, Utah.

**Q: Does it kill mice?**
A: I got it to use as a cleaner. I have heard that Borax mixed with peanut butter is effective in killing mice.  But wow, you need to be careful!  If a child or pet found the concoction first, the result would be tragic.  Coca Cola is safer, as are Tums antacid tablets with peanut butter smeared on them (mice can't belch stomach gas, so anything like these will destroy their stomach or intestines, without the risks of an exposed toxin like Borax.

**Q: My slime turned hard(not stretchy) with this borax even with same recipe done successfully with other types of borax. What is the dilution u used?**
A: I did not use the borax to make slime. I used it to create a potion to kill roaches. Sorry I could not be of assistance.

**Q: Can this be used to help with matted carpet?**
A: I use it for detox baths and foot soaks
