Q: Will this work well for slime??

submitted by Hannah casa - 9 years ago

  • A: We do not recommend using this for slime.

    submitted byHenkel Consumer Affairs - 5 years ago

  • A: We would not recommend using Borax for slime. We do recommend our sister brand, Sta-Flo liquid starch. Visit our Pinterest page for more ideas.

    submitted byHenkel Consumer Affairs - 5 years ago

  • A: We do not recommend using Borax for slime.

    submitted byHenkel Consumer Affairs - 7 years ago

  • A: Yes it is one of the best activators for slime. I found don't now how just put a teaspoon of borax and mix it I with a cup of warm water. And it comes with a lot of borax so you can make tons of i me with it

    submitted byKayla - 9 years ago

  • A: Yes it does work amazing for slime

    submitted byawesomesaucesigma - 2 years ago

  • A: My daughter's teacher used to use Borax in her slime before a parent complained. My daughter was totally fine. Just don't play with it straight for three hours. Borax is not boric acid!

    submitted byhalfhun - 3 years ago

Q: is borax used as a dessicant and does it kill bed bugs?

submitted by squeak - 4 years ago

  • A: Yes. You can sprinkle it around baseboards of your home. It gets in the insects exoskeleton and kills them. But don’t put it in pet areas.

    submitted bylenyx - 2 years ago

  • A: 20 Mule Team Borax has not been tested as an insecticide so we cannot recommend that use.

    submitted byHenkel Consumer Affairs - 1 year ago

  • A: The only way to get rid of bed bugs is to hire an exterminator.

    submitted byLsd989 - 4 years ago

  • A: Use food grade diatomaceous earth instead; safer around humans and pets. It kills bed bugs by getting into the insects exoskeleton. Don't utilize around the good insects...ie honey bees.

Q: Can you use this in a bath tub as a detox?

submitted by picky bread lover - 5 years ago

  • A: I don't think so. I believe it is toxic and should not be ingested or consumed. I did a search and it has a warning label not to ingest. It can cause organ damage.

    submitted bysunshine - 1 year ago

  • A: We do not recommend bathing in this product since it is a laundry booster and household cleanser.

    submitted byHenkel Product Expert - 4 years ago
    Brand expert

  • A: If you were to soak your clothes in the tub using this product, 100% have done this as a pretreatment with many rugs of mine.

    submitted by26weeks - 2 years ago

  • A: I think you can, though it may just detoxify at the surface and not pull toxins as may be the case with epsom salts. People drink this daily and it's safe. You only need a pinch in a glass of water.

    submitted byCozyCoffee - 1 year ago

Q: is it safe to sprinkle a little in cat's litter box?

submitted by barb - 2 years ago

  • A: This is not a freshener - we do not recommend using it in your litter box.

    submitted byHenkel Consumer Affairs - 1 year ago

  • A: No, it is harmful if swallowed,

    submitted byDD - 2 years ago

  • A: Not good for their paws. Use baking soda instead.

    submitted byLeleD - 2 years ago

Q: Is this product scented or scent free?

submitted by bk - 6 years ago

  • A: There is not a fragrance added.

    submitted byHenkel Consumer Affairs - 5 years ago

    submitted byvrp406 - 6 years ago

  • A: Scent-free. Borax has never been scented.

    submitted byhalfhun - 3 years ago

Q: Can this be used to clean grout with pets in the house?

submitted by Kimber - 9 months ago

  • A: We do recommend using this to clean your bathroom and kitchen including the grout.

    submitted byHenkel Product Expert - 7 months ago
    Brand expert

  • A: It's supposed to be kept out of reach of pets, so if you're cleaning tile flooring you may need to be very careful and make sure it is completely rinsed and removed before your pets are near it! 

    submitted byScout - 2 months ago

Q: does this clean mildew smells from laundry

submitted by Carol - 2 years ago

  • A: 20 Mule Team Borax is a excellent laundry booster. It can assist with getting rid of odor and tough stains.

    submitted byHenkel Consumer Affairs - 1 year ago

  • A: Vinegar instead of fabric softener does that, works like a charm.

    submitted byVictoria - 2 years ago

Q: Does this product contain anything other than boric acid? I am looking for a mixture of boric acid, sugar and water to kill roaches.

submitted by Wendy - 2 years ago

  • A: Borax and boric acid are both naturally occurring compounds. Boraxis made up of sodium, oxygen and boron. Boric acid is created from the mixture of borax with other naturally occurring minerals.

    submitted byHenkel Consumer Affairs - 1 year ago

  • A: This does not contain boric acid.

    submitted by26weeks - 2 years ago

Q: Can Borax be used as a carpet refresher if there are pets in the home?

submitted by JustJersey - 2 years ago

    submitted byHenkel Consumer Affairs - 1 year ago

  • A: No it is harmful if swallowed.

    submitted byDD - 2 years ago

    Great for deodorizing

    I use this nearly every time I do a wash to enhance cleaning and reduce odors. It's great for getting rid of musty towel smell, and it helps whiten whites but is also safe for my colors.

    Great Product but Packaging Consistently Fails

    I use it to soften the laundry water - 5 stars for that. I had it shipped with several other items which arrived covered in loose borax powder - zero stars for your choice of packaging, after all these years maybe go with something that's powder-tight.

    Price has almost doubled in doubled in a couple of years

    The price of this Borax has rapidly gone up in the last few years. It was $3.99 2-3 years ago. Now it’s almost double. Just two months ago I ordered it for $5.99 and today it is $7.19 for the same box. This is price gouging or price tracking of consumers and jacking up costs on those who buy it. It’s unethical. I would rather pay for a bulk bag of borax online from a company that does not use AI price tracking and then price gouge off of that. What a world we live in that this is somehow okay.

    True Helper for Cleaning

    I've always used borax when making my own laundry detergent and when I saw Target carries it, finally it's something they actually have in the Bend store and I don't need to order it, win-win

    A must for hard water!

    We have very hard water, and borax in the drum of my washing machine helps my detergent work its magic and still leave clothes feeling soft after a wash.

    It works well as far as whitening and brightening clothes, but it leaves your clothes hard. Also, the Price jump on this was insane. Just last week it was $5.69 and now it’s $7.19. These corporate entities are trash.

    Great for heavy odors

    Awesome odor killer if you do a pre-soak before your wash. I have a teenager and no need to deodorize things more than usual when it’s sports season. It’s not hiding a smell - it eliminates it without a perfume smell.
