We’re giving 5 lucky mums the chance to WIN an Oates Cleaning Kit valued over $100 these school holidays.

Having the kids home during the school holidays is a combination of never ending chaos and mess. It’s no wonder as parents we’re all counting down the days until school is back!

What we love about Oates is that they help us #LaughAtTheMess by helping keep on top of the mess and mayhem, without putting the brakes on the fun. Oates products are reliable and affordable making them the perfect companion for every Australian household.

If you’re cringing at the slime all over the table or the flour from the morning pancakes all over the kitchen counter, Oates Microfibre Cloths will become your best friend these school holidays. Reviewers trialed the Oates Microfibre Cloths in 2023, and rated them an amazing 4.83 out of 5 stars (see what mums had to say here)! The cloths are durable, super absorbent and are an easy and affordable way to tackle any mess around the home. When dirty, simply pop them into the washing machine for continued use.

If the kids have spilled a drink on the floor, or brought in mud from outside, the Oates Spin & Clean Compact Mop & Bucket Set can be whipped out to tackle the mess quickly and easily. MoM reviewers tried and loved this Mop, rating it 4.6 out of 5 stars! Reviewers loved that it was fast, easy and thorough – it truly is the ultimate mop to have in your holiday mess kit (read the MoM reviews for the Spin & Clean here).
