I thought I was buying Borax, but when I received it I actually bought Boraxo? Can it be used the same way? If the cleaning recipe calls for Borax, can I use Boraxo? Does anyone have any cleaning recipes for Boraxo?
If anyone has any answers I would love to read them.
If you are trying to make crystals for a science project you can absolutely NOT use boraxo instead of borax. It needs to be the one in the green box for the crystal snowflakes.
Boraxo is just Borax mixed with soap flakes. They're both put out by 20 Mule Team, so it's no surprise anyone would accidentally buy the wrong one. Boraxo is mostly just meant as a powdered hand cleanser. But if you want other uses for it, plug "uses for Boraxo" into a search engine. That's what I'm doing just out of curiosity.
I have the same question. Can I use Boraxo in the place of borax. I have a puppy who has mange, and while searching on the internet, many people recommend washing my pup in borax. I can not find borax, but I found Boraxo. Can I use that?
Sorry, I was wrong. The box I have is 20 Mule Team Borax. It is a 4 lb 12 oz box. Says it's a natural laundry booster and multi-purpose household cleaner.
Perhaps you could put Boraxo into a search and see what comes up. It's probably Borax tho.
Hopefully someone else will post a better answer for you.
I do know that what I bought is borax and I found it either at Wal-Mart or a grocery store.
