Borateem

[~sudsshane]

another great dry bleach that is hard to find. I am going to do my best to get me some and I will share with AndrewinOrlando...he's a Borateem queen! LOL

Last I saw it has been reformulated. It's in a smaller box and the powder is lighter and fluffier. I love the smell of the Borateem from the '80s, although that's changed now, too.

It was available only in ShopRite stores until recently, but has now been supplanted by "Purex 2" powdered bleach.

The boxes weigh the same, and for all we know, it is the same product!

Borateem!

It's actually not the same product. The previous was in a different box and it worked great. Now the new one I don't feel is that good. I liked the smell of the origional formular. I wish they would have continued with the origional.

I remember Rosemary De Camp who did "20 Mule Team Borax"
commercials back in the 60's.

I've found bunches of vintage Borateem, Amaze, Axion (my fave), Biz, etc. at the estate sales. For some reason, people didn't use it much and it just sat on the shelf.

I was a Borateem fan

My mother used to use Borateem with the other products in the laundry, and it did a good job. I even remember the jingle back in the days when US Borax sponsored "Death Valley Days":

Borateem, Borateem
Get your clothes more than clean
Clothes stay fresh, can't offend
Clothes stay fresh with Borateem!

And to think I still forget where I put the car keys every day!

Greg - you have Axion????? OH MY GOD! I've been looking for Axion for years!!

I remember Ronald Reagan hosting "Death Valley Days" and doing Boraxo commercials in the 50's...
