Banner Chemical Smooth-Tex Borax Powdered Hand Soap 5 lb Tub — Heavy-Duty Grease & Oil Removing, Exfoliating with Moisturizers

Banner Chemical Smooth-Tex Borax Powdered Hand Soap is a heavy-duty, borax-based powdered hand cleaner that removes grease, oil, paint, and grime while leaving hands exfoliated and moisturized.

This powdered hand soap is formulated for tough, industrial soils and frequent use. Combining borax with mineral scrubbers and emollients, Smooth-Tex delivers a high-scrubbing action to cut through automotive grease, ink, tar, and construction residue while rinsing clean without sticky film. Packaged in a 5 lb tub, it replaces traditional bar or liquid cleaners where concentrated abrasive action is needed.

How quickly does Smooth-Tex remove heavy grease and oil?

The borax base and mineral scrubbers act together to break down and lift heavy contaminants fast. Users typically work a small handful into wet hands, agitate for a few seconds, then rinse to see most surface grease and oil dissolve and wash away.

• Formula combines borax with mineral abrasives for strong mechanical action
• Concentrated powdered form lets you control dosage and lather
• Rinses clean to minimize residue and slipperiness

Will this powdered soap be rough on my skin with frequent use?

Smooth-Tex balances exfoliating scrubbers with emollients so it removes grime without excessively drying. The product is designed for repeated industrial use and aims to leave hands feeling smoother than simple abrasive cleaners.

• Includes moisturizing agents to help prevent dryness
• Exfoliants remove embedded dirt while avoiding overly harsh abrasion
• Wash-off formula reduces lingering powder on skin

How do I use the 5 lb powdered hand soap for best results?

Wet your hands, scoop a small amount into your palm, rub to form a scrubby lather, then rinse thoroughly. For very heavy soils, repeat or use a brush for cuticles and nails to lift embedded material.

• Start with a dime-to-quarter sized scoop and increase as needed
• Work into wet hands for 10–20 seconds for stubborn stains
• Rinse fully and pat dry to assess remaining residue

What makes Smooth-Tex a strong alternative to Boraxo?

Smooth-Tex is formulated as a premium borax-based hand cleaner that matches the cleaning power people expect from classic powdered industrial soaps while offering a balanced blend of scrubbers and skin-conditioning components. It’s made to meet the demands of mechanics, construction crews, and heavy-duty users who need effective soil removal and skin care in one product.

• Premium borax blend for grease and stain removal
• Mineral scrubbers for mechanical cleaning action
• Added emollients to soothe and condition skin after washing

Who is this for: Banner Chemical Smooth-Tex is intended for tradespeople, mechanics, industrial technicians, gardeners, and anyone regularly exposed to grease, oil, paint, tar, or inks. It suits workshops, garages, maintenance bays, and job sites where a high-performance powdered hand cleaner is preferred over liquids and bars. The 5 lb size makes it practical for shared workspaces or frequent individual use.
