    From the first to the fifth day (so far) it has been a smooth and easy mixture to prepare the consistency was well received by my daughter who enjoyed it so much each time she would see the packet she would squeal in excitement. The packet instructions were clear and easy to follow and mixed well with both boiled water and breast milk.

    This was definitely a winner and we will continue to offer this cereal to our daughter.

  • He loved it!!!

    This cereal was easily accepted by Mr S as he loves cereal with texture. I noticed that there were small pieces of pear in the cereal, while other brands are a smooth texture. He loved this and was upset when the portion I made ran out! He even readily enjoyed it while sick. Happy for him to have this knowing that it contains probiotics and iron.

  • Great breakfast for little ones

    We tried the Cerelac Multigrain with Pear infant cereal and my little one loved it! We have it at breakfast time with some fruit and it’s a new favourite. I especially like that it contains a probiotic and vitamin c and B6 as well as Iron. I like that my little one can start the day with a full tummy of good grains. The only thing that would make this cereal better was if it was a ziplock close to keep it fresh.

  • Nestle Cerelac Multigrain With Banana & Apple Baby Cereal

    We tried Nestle Cerelac Multigrain With Banana & Apple Baby Cereal and it was nice and smooth when we had it with puree fruit. The daughter loved it. I also tried it with milk but she wasnt too much of a fan of it. I would recommend for busy mothers but not something that I would feed my daughter on a day to day basis.

  • Something new

    My son has only really had toast and fruit for breakfast so it was nice to try something new he was a little unsure at the start but after a couple of spoon fulls he was in he ate a whole serving and seemed to enjoy it even licking the bowl after. It might not be the quickest thing to serve but a good alternative and something that I know is healthy and he will enjoy

  • Easy to prepare, tasty, quick breaky

    I started the rush of a morning with preparing this with 90mls boiled water after it was cooled abit, and 2 tbs of the Pear and Multigrain Cerelac. The texture was a bit lumpy at first and pear pieces were hard, but once you let it sit for a bit they soften up. I tasted it and it was quite nice, better then the prune flavoured one actually as I've also purchased that before. I gave some to my 9 month old daughter who only wishes to feed herself. It was indeed messy, but possibly she didn't like the texture too much. I ended up finishing the bowl for my own breakfast. I think every baby is different and prefers different textures. As a cereal porridge type it's hard to do BLW with, so I also make little veggie patties and I tend to add in the Cerelac powder as a binder, I feel confident as this gives it the iron boost also.

Mopping isn’t exactly the chore most of us look forward to, but like most mums, for Katrina Macilroy, it’s unavoidable.

With three teenagers, a husband, a dog, two cats and timber flooring throughout most of her home, there’s plenty to keep her mop busy.

“I thought the toddler stage was hard, but teenagers take it to a whole other level,” Katrina told Mouths of Mums.

She describes herself as a ‘full-time Uber driver’ for her three kids, but when she’s home, she may as well be a full-time cleaner.

Her husband is a concreter, the family has plenty of sand coming inside and, with teenagers touching everything, the floors quickly show the evidence of a full family life.

“I have to mop like every second day because the floor gets marks,” she said.

So when Katrina was given the chance to try the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, she was keen to see whether it could actually make one of her least favourite cleaning tasks any easier.

“I didn’t have high hopes for it to start with, because I’ve used spin mops before and I’d been disappointed,” she admitted.

But it didn’t take long for her to change her mind. One of the first things Katrina noticed was just how easy the mop was to use.

Person using the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO mop system.

The foot pedal made wringing the mop quick and simple, without having to stop and fiddle with anything.

“It was so easy to spin it,” she says. “It wasn’t like you’re spinning it for hours or anything.”

She was also impressed by how quickly the mop itself could be put together, and the simple button that releases the mop head for washing.

“That simple press notion, everyone can do that. So I love that.”

It’s The Little Things That Add Up

For Katrina, who regularly finds herself cleaning up after a busy family, these little details made a surprisingly big difference. She also loved the triangular mop head, particularly when it came to getting into the corners and edges that her previous mop struggled with.

“The triangle design makes it easy to get into all the little corners,” she says.

But ultimately, the big question was whether it actually cleaned her floors. Katrina’s answer was an enthusiastic yes.

“My floor has never been so clean,” she says.

Katrina was also surprised by how light and manoeuvrable the mop felt, because at just 4’11”, she says mopping can sometimes be an uncomfortable job.

“I’m not a tall person, so trying to mop is always just a horrible experience.”

Person carrying the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO mop system.

But she found the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set easy to move around and able to go in different directions without feeling heavy or awkward.

And it wasn’t just the mop itself that won Katrina over. She says the bucket design solved one of her biggest mopping frustrations: accidentally tipping the bucket over.

With timber floors, getting too much water onto the floor is something she tries hard to avoid. “The amount of mop buckets I’ve tipped over and just gone everywhere,” she says.

That can turn a simple cleaning job into another mess to deal with, particularly when you’re suddenly scrambling for towels and a dry mop head.

But Katrina says the Vileda bucket feels much more stable because of its design.

And for someone who mops as often as she does, she says that has saved her time. “This thing has saved me so much time, I can’t get over it.”

The Only Mop You’ll Need

Katrina also admits that she’d previously convinced herself she needed a steam mop. She even bought one, only to discover that plugging it in every time she wanted to clean wasn’t exactly appealing.

“You have to plug it in like a vacuum. Like, that’s not fun, I don’t want to do that.”

After trying the Vileda, she says she’s no longer convinced she needs one.

“Why do you need a steam mop when you can get this one?”

For Katrina, the combination of being lightweight, easy to wring, simple to manoeuvre and able to get into those awkward corners has made mopping feel much less frustrating. And despite going into the trial with low expectations, she’s now very happy to recommend it.

“I’m not trying to sell you a product, but I’m just saying that I’m very impressed with it. It’s really good.”

Her final verdict?

“It’s been really, really good. Recommend!”

This Real Story was provided as part of a paid sponsorship opportunity. Katrina was chosen to share her story because she was sent out and tried the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, and genuinely loved it! And Vileda is so confident they’ve made the best spin mop ever, they’re backing the new & improved Easy Wring & Clean TURBO with a 5 Year Guarantee. 

  • This mop so good and the views all are positive so I just purchased one on milkrun through Woolworths and it come with 2 mop head refills. Can’t wait to use it.

    Reply

  • Yes, I couldn’t agree more. The Vileda spin mop is by far my favourite mop for a good thorough clean at home. I even got the landlords to purchase one for the holiday house I clean to make cleaning a breeze and get the job done properly. I always grab a spare when they’re out for half price.

  • Ah, I received a ‘you’re a finalist’ email from MoM for this fantastic mop but didn’t receive anything beyond that. I was looking forward to giving this a try to compare the three existing options I have but alas. Looks good, fingers crossed I can try it in the near future!

    Reply

  • Omg! Yes! With 4 dogs and 4 teens AND the guests they bring home with them LOL our timber floors and tiles don’t stand a chance! I would love to see them add some wheels to the bottom of the bucket so that you don’t have to carry the bucket around with you.

  • I feel like I really need to try out this mop now!!

  • This sounds like an excellent mop that makes cleaning so easy! I love a product that not only is as effective as advertised but makes a job less grueling. I gotta say though, a steam mop that plugs in sounds like an awful idea. I have a tineco floor mop, which is cordless and charges at a base, and it’s incredible on my white tiles.
