  • Super surprised by this!

    I have to admit, I was seriously sceptical when I saw this in the store… But being a lifelong fan of Dettol Antiseptic, I decided to give it a go. I am officially a convert! I LOVE this stuff! Within minutes of applying it to, I’m embarrassed to admit, about twenty years worth of mould in my bathroom tiles, I was able to basically wipe it away! With very little elbow grease at all! I’ve tried so many different products that swore up and down and black and blue that they would get rid of the mould, but even with hours of scrubbing, that stuff seemed to be baked on forever! I still cannot get over how shiny my bathroom is now, just from this one product! It’s a genuinely amazing spray, and I cannot recommend it enough. It smells fantastic, and isn’t aggravating to sensitive skin, which is a huge bonus. I don’t even need to wear gloves while using it! Get it, try it, you won’t regret it.

  • Sparkling showers for those with septic tanks

    Living in a rural setting, I have long suffered with ‘that corner of the shower’ mould. We’re reliant on limited tank water and are not able to put chemicals down the drain as that would really mess with our Septic system so my bathroom has been neglected. We also get a pink discolouration due to the untreated water.
    The Dettol Heathly Clean Bathroom Mould Remover has a thicker foam than many products and I was able to spray it on, leave it the recommended 5minutes and wipe it off before rinsing. A few pieces of paper towel in the bottom of the shower prevented any of the chemical going down the drain into our septic. Rinsing required minimal water and I was able to rinse my entire 900×1200 shower with just 4 jugs of water.
    After I sprayed the Dettol Heathly Clean Bathroom Mould Remover on, I was actually able to see it working. Tiles, grout, silicon, glass, metal – it all sparkled.
    I was so impressed with the effectiveness that I even sprayed some onto a piece of paper towel and patted it on a corner of painted wall in the bathroom where some mould was beginning to appear. Not only did it work fast, removing any sign of mould, it did no damage to the paint.
    The Dettol Heathly Clean Bathroom Mould Remover is a great product that I would recommend to others with Septic Systems and I will certainly be using again.

  • Lives up to the wonderful reputation set by Dettol products

    I was very impressed by Dettol Healthy Clean Bathroom Mould Remover. I have tried all of the other Dettol cleaning products & was so impressed that I have already switched to using those. This opportunity to try the Mould remover has motivated me to do the same with this product.
    Our shower is prone to mould so I thought this would be the ultimate test. The product certainly rose to the challenge, effectively and efficiently removing the mould without the horrid chemical smell that usually remains after mould removal in the shower. I will definitely be adding Settol Healthy Clean Mould Remover to my cleaning regime.

  • FAST REMOVAL OF MOULD- GREAT PRODUCT!

    Great product! I found Dettol Bathroom Mould Cleaner to be fast and efficient at eliminating our mould in the bathroom, worked great on walls in our bedroom too.
    Our house gets damp so this is a great cleaner to get rid of unwanted mould and kill germs.
    The smell is better than most cleaners too, I hate that bleach smell so it was not too overpowering at all.
    The price is moderate but as it works well, I would definitely buy this again.
    Packaging is appealing and available online too at Woolworths which is handy for our family.
    I would definitely recommend this to family and friends, thanks for letting me trial this great product!

  • Top versatile product

    I got to trial this and was most impressed. Since I reviewed it a few weeks ago and ppsted my review I habe used it to get rid of mould on an old car we had to clean for my nieces formal. Her grandads old ford had been in the garage for 7 years and had heavy mould on the vinyl upholstery. I used the dettol on everything and it just wiped the mould away and refreshed it all so after that I moved our vinyl lounge away from the wall and found old heavy mould on the back and used dettol on that too and it brought it back to new. Had to use it twice on that but was magic.never damaged anything. So it has many uses. Ive since purchased another bottle and havnt had anything to use it on lol the bathroom lasts and lasts .i did it twice at first as the rental had heavy mould in the silicone but simce then I have used it once for upkeep. Good going dettol

    I bought some of this after reading other reviews and I am amazed at how effective it was in my bathroom! My shower looks new, I used it on the window and glass, and even went and did the windows in the bedrooms where mould starts from the damp over winter! This will definitely stay on my shopping list from now on!

    With a turn spray function is easy and safe to use. Easy to spray on the shower and leave for a few minutes. Excellent in removing mould with out hard scrubbing. Spray it in the hard to scrub spots of your shower and it works with ease. This product has a pleasant smell and does not take your breath away like some on the market. I would recommend it as its quick and easy. I have used it four times now and i’m happy to keep using it.

    I have used this mould remover for quite some time now. There are places in the house which are far from the sun’s direct light. Dettol’s formula is quite effective and easy to use. I have used his on walls in my kitchen, bathroom, and even lounge.
    One item, many uses ! Thumbs up for this one!

  • It really works

    I have to admit to being skeptical that this worked as well as others had described but after giving it a go am pleasantly surprised. Our second shower is for my farmer husband who is often covered in diesel & grease & leaves a film of grime in the shower, so this was a real test. After a few goes at it I am seeing great results now.

  • Late to the mark

    I really wish that I had discovered this product earlier. I attacked the shower earlier this month with vinegar spray. That has nothing on this product. It really is very powerful, easily removing mold from the walls. I find that hte chemical smell is rather over powering though, so I could only clean a little at a time.

    I was not chosen to review this product but have bought it before on special. The mould remover is effective on tough mould, though I still needed to scrub more than I would have liked. In the spry bottle it is quite easy to use. I am not sure about the smell though.

    I was a bit skeptical when buying as I have tried different mould removers in the past. Well, I was quietly surprised. It actually worked. I sprayed it on, and low and behold it actually works. I wasn’t overpowered by the smell (but certainly wouldn’t go around sniffing it). I will definitely be buying this mould remover again, and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it to my friends to use in their bathrooms

  • Good on mould

    We have a lot of mould that builds quickly in our bathrooms. For this reason we have to use quite a strong product to remove it quite often. Dettol is a great brand and I have used this product before. I have found that it doesn’t an adequate job. It doesn’t remove all the mould as quickly as other products I have used but it still does a decent job and I would use it again in the future especially if the product was on sale!

    I purchased the Dettol Healthy Clean Bathroom Mould Remover after reading all the positive reviews on MoM. I was amazed at how quickly and easily the Mould came off my shower recesses and how pleasant the smell was, particularly compared with other similar products. I already trusted the Dettol brand, and this just gave me another reason to love them! It really is awesome stuff!

  • works well but so does others.

    Yes I did find Dettol Healthy Clean Bathroom Mould Remover vanished the mould but sadly after time the mould did return. I found this product worked as well as many other mould removers but the disadvantage with this one is the price. I found that a certain no name product worked just as well. The Dettol Healthy Clean Bathroom Mould Remover did have a nicer and fresher smell to it though.. but for me I would much prefer good old bi-carb and vinegar and if you are really serious about mould removal old fashion oil of cloves is the best.

  • Definitely deals with mould

    The humidity where we live can be frustrating and the dampness causes mould so we struggle with our bathroom and other parts of the house. This was easy to use and definitely worked better on the mould than other things we’ve used in the past. I’m going to try it out on some other problem areas now, although I did note that there are many materials that it can’t be used on.

  • Healthy Mould Remover??

    I would love to review Dettol Healthy Clean Bathroom Mould Remover as I am asthmatic as well as being anaphylaxis to any strong scents – household cleaners as well as any other perfumes smells – so using bleach or exit mould are not an option for me, therefore as my bathroom is small, dark, & over 100yrs old & gets mould on walls, windows as well as around bath/shower weekly I need to scrub with a scrub brush, water & a natural unscented multi-purpose cleaning spray which is hard work for me as I’m disabled & I have limited movement & walk with sticks(Canadian crutches) now.

    I’m a huge fan of the dettol products! Using a product that you can spray and walk away makes cleaning so much easier! My whole shower is done in tiles, so it makes it hard to clean – Who really wants to spend hours every day scrubbing tiles?!
    Unlike other mould removal products the smell is not overpowering that you have to open everything window in the house and turn exhaust fans on! Easy to use trigger nozel on the bottle makes spraying the product so much easier!

  • Much better than any other product I have tried

    I used this thinking it would just be another product that did not live up to its claims on the bottle. However I was rather surprised. I used it in my Ensuite, main Bathroom and as suggested in my bin. I thought the results were quite good compared to other products that I have tried. It does not have a really strong poisonous odour like most.

Now I can buy 1 product instead of 2 and it does the same, or even a better job. I’m glad I tried it myself without being picked to review it 🙂

  • Fantastic Bathroom Mould Remover

    I was amazed when I used this product as it genuinely worked. Other well known brand mould removers need to be applied every few days and still don’t leave the shower recess looking as though the mould was being removed especially in the corners and under the last row of bathroom tiles. However this Dettol Healthy Clean Bathroom Remover left the shower stall looking refreshing clean so that’s why I rated I gave the five star rating I did. It was powerful in removing the mould, easy to use, no dribbles all over your hand when you use the nozzle, fast working and with a refreshing fragrance. My shower stall looks as though I did it yesterday and it has been 3 weeks with no mould build up back again.

How to choose the best lunch box for school

When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.

  • Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
  • Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
  • Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
  • Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
  • Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
  • The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

What to put in kids’ lunch boxes

Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:

  • Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
  • Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
  • Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
  • Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
  • Almond-meal slice with raspberries or blueberries – or both!
  • Vegetarian sausage rolls – these freeze well and make a great meat-free lunch when cold.

  • Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.

  • Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.

  • Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.

  • I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.

  • So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.

  • There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.

  • There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain

  • This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.

  • Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.

  • This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones

  • Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.

    Reply

  • These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.

  • I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.

  • My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags

  • Love our bento b.boxes. So easy to pack. I do however worry that they’re made of plastic, not metal….

  • My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.

  • Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.

  • I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
