but there was a jar for hand cleaning at home.
Just this year I discovered borax as the one-step treatment for green mold on wood sidings and asphalt roofs. Hot water, pump sprayer, spray and walk away.

The dispenser, no. Worst soap ever? I unwittingly used Lava soap to wash my eyeglasses. It contains pumice. My lenses were wrecked.

Its not Boraxo, but its equivalent. Its also helpful in clearing out the shitter sitters who take long, leisurely breaks on the privy. Just dispense a big handful and toss it over the top of the stall. Gets em up & moving
