  • Life saver!

    Had lost mine when relocating from the Kimberleys to the Goldfields. Those few weeks of unpacking, with a toodler, I didnt realise how much I relied on the cleaning system. When I realised it was not to be found, went back to get another one. Now with two under five my floors are safe! Next time we move (hopefully not soon), will take it in the car with me????
    Thank you!

  • Perfect for little spills

    We purchases this product when it was first released and absolutely loved it from the get go. With an active baby at the time it was amazing to just quickly mop something up instead of getting everything out for a 5 second job. Made cleaning so much easier and as able to give the floors a quick once over before bed each night. Also great if unexpected guests come over and you need to ninja clean ????

  • Quick and easy

    Got the Dettol mop last week and love it so much. easy to use and works great on my tiles. great to give the toilet floor a quick clean and also cleaning up the dogs mess. Decided to give this product a go because of my 9 month old son who has mastered crawling and is getting around the house so wanted a quick solution to keep the floors clean.

  • Great floor cleaner

    I bought this online and I think it is the most useful and effective cleaning system i have ever used. My tiles look amazing and it leaves such a clean smell afterwards. I love this product and will definitely be telling everyone I can about it. The only downside is that the refills cost so much for only 15 sheets. I usually go through 5 sheets to clean my house.

  • love it

    This is a really great system, I love it. As a mum of 2 boys who don’t have very good aim in the toilet area it saves a lot of time and hassle to mop up the misses and its safe to say it gets rid of the germs while you’re at it.
    it cleans very well which is great for them days you don’t want to pull out the mop and bucket.
    Love this product and will recommend it to everyone i know definitely

  • Still going strong.

    I was given this mop system from MoM in order to review it. I have been using it for more than 6 months now, and it is still going strong. I love that this works on many different surfaces. It is very easy to use, just pop on the wipe and off you go. It is only best to use between mops though to keep floor fresh. I find that half the wipe is wasted, so I take it off, fold it over and continue to clean on my hands and knees. Smells amazing.

    Spills & general mess from our 18 month old toddler (and unfortunately our 14 year old puppy) are easily cleaned up, the fresh scent erases any memory of what we had to clean up and our whirlwind life can continue again!

  • Mostly a great product!

    Hubby and I decided to purchase this as we have large porcelain tiles over the majority of our house and needed a quick spot clean device.
    It works well but the towelette doesn’t stay moist for very long meaning we tend to use more than 1 or even 2 sometimes.

    We have resorted to using disinfectant wipes which come in bulk packs rather and are cheaper than dettol refills!

  • Easy peasy

    I love love love this mop. So easy for small spills on my floorboards. My son is forever leaving his bottle on the floor after finishing it and always manages to leave it on the sides that spill. The clothes are a little on the expensive side but definitely worth it for a quick solution to mess. Best for the kitchen or when the kids have finished eating there dinner. I also have one in my bathrooms

    I love using the Dettol floor cleaning system. It’s not only great to use on floors but I recently came up with the brain wave to clean my bathroom walls that has a tiny bit of mould on them. It was FANTASTIC, easy to use to clean the walls, smelled wonderful and 3 months later no return of the mould at all.

    Not only does this product smell clean and fresh but knowing it fights germs makes it a perfect cleaning product. It was so easy to use and gives me peace of mind about the product’s efficiency. Our home mostly has floor tiling and polished boards to it was perfect for those services. It was also very economical to use and I believe it would be affordable for all households

  • not bad

    Overall its okay. Its great for quick spills but not for mopping your whole floor. The wipes dry up within seconds. cant go wrong with it though for a quick clean tiny up and a nice quick clean smelling shine but don’t expect to use it to actually mop your kitchen floors without having to reverse or change the wipe itself often (which becomes expensive!)
    The handle is okay in length not the greatest for anyone around 5’7 or taller the bending can get to your back. i still own one and will still use one, but only for a quick clean, or keep to help teach my children to help out with chores around the house, They love it! and actually fight over who’s turn it is! i will say for that it is great as if you have little ones wanting to help clean up you can adjust the handle to make it little kid size appropriate and they can involved with ease!

    I bought these wipes to clean my kitchen tiled floor specifically. Its summers now and before any insects/cockroaches start coming in, I wanted to make sure that I save my kitchen.
    My little one loves to come inside the kitchen and play on the cool floor. I’m so happy with this product. My kitchen floor is so clean and shining, I love being inside the kitchen.
    NIce product.

  • Great Product but a bit costly!

    I LOVE this product, so quick and easy to use. but i did find it more so just to clean up spills and hard marks, it was costly to buy more wipes so i didn’t end up using it past the first pack of wipes that come with it.

    i would use it again if the price in refills wasn’t so high!

  • Quick and easy clean up

    The Dettol Floor Cleaning System is a handy way for a quick clean of the floors. I’m amazed and the dust and dirt that it picks up, even though the floor might look clean.
    For stubborn stains, you might still need to use a bit of elbow grease.
    This wouldn’t replace a regular mop, but for a quick spot clean, it’s great.

    And the scent. I love love love it! Not your usual chemical cleaner smell. I’d buy it just for the smell.

    Did not work well on timber floors nor tiles at all. Does not pick up dirt well and dries too quickly. Leaves dust ans dirt as it touches the surfaces.

    I have been using this system for a few months now. I really love the ease and convenience of this for small spills/cleans. Works much better on tiled floors than lino. It is not good for those stubborn caked on floor stains, nor for doing large areas. Smells great, spruces up a room quite quickly before guests arrive.

Whether you’re a seasoned or first-time mum, protecting your baby’s delicate skin is right up there on the priorities list. Because when their skin is irritation-free, it really does make for a happier bub! Anyone who’s had to deal with nappy rash (me included!) knows it’s an inescapable mum truth.

Having skin irritation as an adult is super distracting and annoying. So just imagine what that’s like for our teeny babies and toddlers, who need to focus on sleep, eat and play. No wonder they can be so upset when they have nappy rash.

One thing you do need to ditch when it comes to nappy rash is mum guilt. It happens despite our best efforts. But it is helpful if you can get ahead of the game by doing as much as you can to try and prevent nappy rash in the first place.

We asked our hundreds of thousands of Mouths of Mums members for their tried-and-true, trusted nappy rash tips, and their responses came down to four key tips. So if you’re about to have your first baby, or your fifth, it’s worth popping on the kettle and reading through what’s helped other mums.

Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips From Mums

What we love about these tips is they’re perfect for mums and expecting mums, and they’re really simple to do. Everything from what to use and what to steer clear of, to helpful hints on caring for delicate baby skin.

1. Nappy Free Time

“As much free nappy time as possible. Lay baby on a blanket covered with a towel on the floor, without a nappy on, if possible in front of a warm sunny window.” – Joanne W.

We love nappy free time for newborn and toddlers (although it’s a lot harder to get them to stay in one place!). And while nappy free time is one of the most popular nappy rash tips among our mums, using the right nappy also plays a huge part in protecting against irritation on your baby’s skin. For example, Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants have clever Rapid-Dry™ Technology, which instantly absorbs for drier skin. And they’re perfect for day and night, with up to 12 hours of leakage protection.

2. Change Nappies Frequently

“For me, what worked on my two kids is not leaving them in soiled nappies too long. I definitely changed as soon as they were wet and let their skin air dry before placing a new nappy on. I would rather go through more nappies than have to deal with the uncomfortable rash they would feel.” – MoM Member

Frequent nappy changes are a fail-safe way to keep moisture, but it’s not always practical (babies just love to fill their nappies while you’re out and about!) Huggies Newborn Nappies are designed to help protect a baby’s delicate skin with a zinc-enriched layer*, clinically proven to help protect against skin irritation.

3. Use A Barrier Cream

“My mum put me onto Zinc and Caster Oil cream. It is FABULOUS stuff! It’s very thick and sticks like you know what to a blanket hehe I tried literally everything and this was the only stuff that helped.” – Trudes

Using a barrier cream was another really popular tip from our mums. But did you know that Huggies Newborn Nappies are the only nappy with a zinc enriched layer. The zinc oxide in Huggies Newborn Nappies is the same ingredient found in many nappy rash creams, which helps to protect against irritation with visibly less redness on skin. They’re also endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives and the number one choice in Australian hospitals.

4. Choose Gentle

“Don’t use scented wipes. Flannel and warm water is the best.” – Justine F

Using the most natural product possible for wiping a baby’s delicate skin to prevent irritation is a tip that’s been passed down from generation to generation – and it’s still a great one. But something lots of mums don’t consider that a nappy itself can help protect against skin irritation. Huggies Newborn Nappies are clinically proven* to help protect against skin irritation while Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants keep up with wriggly little ones while providing superior dryness, making them perfect for active toddlers.


Nappy Rash Myths & Facts

🚫 Myth: Nappy rash is only caused by wet nappies.
✅ Fact: It’s true that moisture does play a role in nappy rash, it can also be caused by moisture friction, bacteria, and even what the nappy is made from.

It’s why choosing a nappy that’s specifically designed for skin protection is really important.

🚫 Myth: Cloth nappies are better at preventing nappy rash than disposable nappies.
✅ Fact: When it comes to nappy rash, there’s not really any need to compare cloth and disposable nappies, because it’s all about keeping baby dry. The longer baby can stay dry, the better.

Huggies’ Rapid-Dry™ Technology absorbs wetness instantly, reducing irritation risk.

🚫 Myth: Nappy rash creams are the only way to protect against irritation.
✅ Fact: A good nappy with a zinc enriched layer can also help to protect against irritation.

  • Really terrific advice. My daughter never had much in the way of nappy rash develop and I believe that because I did change her so frequently and we had a lot of nappy free time, especially in the warmer months of summer. Sure there is things to treat nappy rash but we all know prevention is best!

  • My first born had terrible nappy rash and ulcers from acid urine and none of the specialists prescription creams did anything. I finally used Petroleum Jelly and it cleared up his skin very quickly and kept future rashes at bay. It is cheap and easy to use and works the best of anything.

  • Any redness can be resolved with a tub of Sudocrem. It’s a cream that smells like lavender. Very pleasant and usually works quickly within the first application.

    Take it with you everywhere. It helps poo nappy changes. Just apply on bottom area to prevent future nappy rash. Your baby will be happy with it on. It doesn’t feel cold like a wet wipe.

  • I had issues with my son pooping a lot as a newborn. Sometimes it can be really hard to keep the rash at bay if you have a child that is constantly doing that. There is some acidity in the excrement and that can cause burning before it’s even been against their skin for long. I used to use paw paw cream on him and that worked best as a barrier.

    Reply

  • Nappy Rash can be so raw and painful and i always worried so much when our babies had a bout of it. I remember trying so many things but always found good old petroleum jelly used regularly would help in keeping it at bay. There are some great suggestions in the article.

    Reply

  • I did find that not all nappy rash creams are as good as each other. After trialing many brands I settled on Sudocrem as the best for me and my baby. Changing nappies frequently and air time is also very important.

    Reply

  • There are so many common sense tip in this article and they are tips that we followed. We kept everything as natural as possible on very soft and sensitive skin. We went with plenty of nappy free times and we were very fortunate to not encounter issues with nappy rash.

    Reply

  • This article describes very much what we always have done: frequent nappy changes, plenty of bare bum time, no fragrances also not in soaps and a good nappy rash cream. It can become more challenging when your child has diarrhea; in which case bare bum time becomes more complex and the skin more irritated in which the gentle washing with warm water, patting dry with a soft cotton flannel and good zinc cream is more important

    Reply

  • Even though I agree that prevention is key, I also think it’s important to have a good barrier cream to hand to help at the first signs of trouble. There are lots of good brands, you can pick any really that suits your baby’s skin. But use it liberally when you need it!

    Reply

  • Yay! First time seeing my own comment in an article! *happy dance*
    But yes, i do swear by changing their nappies as soon as it’s soiled. It’s what worked for us for both children! We always go prepared and change either before going out, during or in the car boot if we really had to

  • Nappy rash is horrible and prevention is definately better than cure. This is a fantastic article with some great tips. Especially the changing of the nappy frequently. Unfortunately sometimes especially once they’re on solids and their poops get yucky a little nappy rash can be unavoidable in which case a small amount of sudocreme clears it up quickly.

    Reply

  • We found that changing nappies frequently was key for us. And once the kids starting sleeping for long periods at night, we started using the really good quality nappies – Huggies, as it happens – while cheaper nappies were still okay for the day and frequent changes. Nappies do vary! .

    Reply

  • This is a really great reminder that nappy rash can happen but there are some great tips to help try and avoid it. I use to do a lot of nappy free time with my daughter when we were home as she had sensitive skin and I layered the barrier cream on all the time, especially at night.
