How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Killing Mold:. The recipe provided is 1 cup of borax combined with 1 gallon of hot water, and place in a spray bottle. Then spray on the moldy surface, let sit for several minutes or so, and then wipe it away.

1.0 out of 5 starsGreat product but terrible price increase!
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2021
I love this product but I'm just about done with Amazon. The price went up literally 33% in less than a month. I know we're heading into an inflationary time, but that's a RIDICULOUS increase. Will shop elsewhere. I pretty much hate amazon anyway.

I ordered a total of 4 boxes of Borax. Today I got a good sized box, large enough for 4 boxes of Borax, but it only contained 1 box. Where are my other 3?

1.0 out of 5 stars No Warnings - I lost my fingernail using this product!!!
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2022
Verified Purchase
I had heard that you could clean your washing machine with Borax and vinegar, so I purchased Borax. I cleaned my washing machine and felt that it worked well. It says on the back of the box that it works well
in the bathroom. The box states that it is a multi purpose household cleaner. Removes soap sum, hardwater and dirt. So, I figured that I would use it to clean my bathtub with it.
A few minutes after finishing, my hands started burning and were very red. I looked the box over and there is no warning stating that you should not let it touch your skin, or that you should wear gloves.. Only what to do in the case it gets in your eyes or is ingested.
Well- the top edge of my pinkie fingernail started turning a light purple and got worse over the next few weeks. It took maybe 2 months, but - I ended up losing my fingernail. Because of cleaning my bathtub with Borax..
It wasn't worth it!! It is extremely painful to no have a fingernail!! (If you didn't know that) I have about 1/8th of it left that didn't raise up. There is now nothing protecting my nail bed! This uscks.

So- No - I would STRONGLY CAUTION ANYONE AGAINST USING BORAX. There are other less dangerous household cleaners available to use.

Oh, and by the way - I purchased 4 boxes - I would really like to return them for a refund. If I could have submitted this review with no stars, I would have. But it was not possible

2.0 out of 5 stars new USPS Shipping weight problem for disabled seniors
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2022
Verified Purchase
This week, I went to my mail box a block away and discovered the 16+ lb box of 4 Borax soaps within. I was shocked to see Amazon no longer delivered this direct to my front steps so I could push it into my home. There is no should lift beyond 1/2 gallon of milk after 4 spinal surgeries and both hips replaced. It was torture knocking the heavy box out onto the sidewalk where I had to leave it, walk back to get my car to drive to locked boxes and had to open the box on the ground to retrieve and lift one box out at a time. Each box is heavy 4 lbs for me who has no cartilage in hands and shoulders with severe arthritis. Why would Amazon stop delivered direct to home with prime vans and mail heavy box usps?? I can no longer continue this subscription if they continue to send via mail as the weight is not manageable for me and would never work in winter climate. This was such an inconvenience. PLEASE SEND TO HOME PORCH as done the past 2 years. Thanks!

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent household cleaning product
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2022
Verified Purchase
Borax is great for so many things. I mainly use it for laundry. There is a whole bunch of suggested uses on the box and of course, the internet is your bestie for some tried and true suggestions on other uses.
My biggest issue though with ordering from Amazon is that every one of the boxes was almost one big chunk that I had to break up to get out of the box. I have to make sure it is crushed back into a powder. It's a huge hassle and it has to be done before tossing a cup in the washer. The larger chunks don't dissolve. There really isn't any savings that make it worth the aggravation. It was just more convenient because my local stores barely have borax on the shelves lately.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waist of money for me
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2022

If you are buying this for fire ant's, roaches or any other pests... DON'T!!! I bought this because I was doing some research on how to get rid of fire ants in a safe way because I didn't want any chemicals in my yard due to having deer that graze in my yard. So I bought this after doing research and everybody's saying work acid works, no It does NOT work especially on fire ants. And I have tried it in the past for roaches as well as cleaning... Waist of money. Commit works better for cleaning.

2.0 out of 5 stars Boxes were damaged upon arrival.
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2021

Love this stuff! Always good to use for the laundry and other random cleaning! 5 stars for borax in general. 3 stars for the damaged boxes I received in the mail

First time ordering it through Amazon because I can never find it in the store. All four boxes were damaged and somewhat soggy? Supper
Weird because the exterior of the box wasn’t damaged so this happened at the Amazon warehouse.

Amazon, please double check your products before sending out!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not sure if it helps
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2020

After hearing about how great Borax is for cleaning I bought this multipack to use for laundry, cleaning bathrooms, etc. I don’t know if maybe I’m not using it right but I haven’t seen much of a difference in my cleaning results. I add this to my laundry with my regular laundry detergent but it doesn’t really remove set in stains as I was hoping. I guess it doesn’t hurt and I have four boxes so I’ll keep trying and see if I eventually get the magical results everyone else talks about. If I do I’ll come back and update this review. In the meantime it’s just a meh from me.
