Dettol Glen 20 Spray Disinfectant is awesome, great for cleaning, protecting our home from germs, mould and making our house smell lovely. Dettol is definitely a brand I trust and have purchased these products already over and over and over again. I do feel my home is protected when I have these in my house. With little kiddies running around its a good feeling to protect against germs.
I definitely recommend to other mums and to families in general.
Thanks
Last winter my daughter got sick once compared to the winter before where I lost count of how many times we were all sick. I didn’t know what the difference was until my mother-in-law said it was because I started using dettol products. Without a doubt dettol was the best product I have purchased. My house smells fresher and I can walk into my house feeling like I have to start cleaning straight away.
Everyone in the house has been regularly using Dettol Liquid Hand Wash with ‘rose and cherry in bloom’. The verdict is: everyone loves it! They love the smell as it is not overpowering. I have happily purchased more of this hand wash for the other wet areas in the house.
I love detail brand. I always use Glen 20, I love the clean hygienic smell it leaves throughout the house after being sprayed. It is n easy product to use to kill them nasty germs. I also have always used the detail wipes, these are another simple to use and very clean product. Always leaving my benches with a clean look. I have just tried the detail soap and this just adds one more hygienic touch to the house. All great products and worth the try.
Dettol surface wipes are a must in our home, they are great for cleaning up after my two toddlers eat. I have tried cheaper brands of surface wipes and went right back to dettol. The other brands I’ve tried were very dry and could clean a whole branch at once. Also love dettol Glenn 20 for smells and fighting off bugs around the house.
The Dettol wipes are brilliant. I never worry about not killing all the germs leftover from preparing dinner when I use my Dettol wipes, the brand is synonymous with hygiene and I doubt that will change for a long time. I don’t like Glen20 because aerosol sprays make my husband ill, but I can easily make do with wipes and diluted dettol in a spray bottle if necessary
I received a pack of the cleaning wipes in a sample box, and I love them. I cleaned the whole bathroom, including the shower, and it is the cleanest I have managed to get that screen in a very long time.
They were a little difficult to get started in the dispenser part of the pack, but once I got them going, they have been great.
Mum used Dettol when I was growing up and now I use it with my kids – from cleaning wounds to, washing, to cleaning, sprays to get rid of nasty smells and washing hands. I feel confident these products do the job I buy them to do. One shortcoming was the surface wipes didn’t dispense easily and I found they tended to dry out easily.
Dettol is a brand that I am familiar with and therefore trust for a superior clean.
For super clean and germ free hands for handling food, I like to use Dettol liquid Hand Wash which is always kept at the kitchen sink.
Even with the the constant hand washing I do while cooking, Dettol liquid hand wash leaves my hands feeling soft and not dry.
Dettol liquid hand wash is a product I highly recommended and wouldn’t subsitute with anything else.
I spray matteress before changing linen with glen 20. After cleaning my bathroom and laundry I spray glen 20. . Wipes I keep on hand in kitchen bathroom and laundry .the hand wash is easy to use and protects hands small or large old or young its gentle on all skin .. I love the feeling after I have washed my hands and the smell is beautiful ..
Glen 20 is always sprayed around to kill germs from colds etc in my home ..
I just love the ease of using glen 20, I use it to cover bad smells around the house and also to give the toilet seat a quick once over when i know guests are coming. I aso use it to clean my sons potty hich leaves it smelling freash.
I have been using them for a while now even before number one arrives and our family absoultely loves it. The Dettol products are all so easy to use. We always stock up on the surface cleanser wipes. Now with the baby running around, we use it pretty much on everywhere, from the kitchen to the baby room to the toilet! I find the wipes very good, the wipes are big enough and it’s not dry at all (like how some wipes can be), it also does not leave a sticky residue feeling after too when using. A trusted brand that you know it kills the germs yet it is very gentle on our skins.
I love the range there is something for every area of the house.
I love the dettol wipes they are a quick and easy way to clean things. I have used these wipes especially when unexpected visitors arrive and I need to do a quick wipe down in the bathroom and the toilet areas. I also use in the kitchen and it is nice to know that you can safely use this in food preparation areas. Great product Dettol! Well done 🙂
I always use Dettol liquid hand wash for clean, germ free hands in the kitchen, whilst preparing food.
The kids love using the liquid pump and so do I.
Haven grown up with Dettol, it is a brand that I know and trust, to help protect against harmful germs.
I have yet to try Dettol Surface Cleanser Wipes but, after reading some of the other reviews posted, I’m very interested in trying.
The Dettol surface cleanser wipes are a great addition to any household. To wipe over bench tops, door handles or any other surfaces that need to be germ free. We use these to wipe over the kids toys, especially if there has been a bit of sickness in the house.
Dettol Glen 20 spray, well I was never a fan, but I have been converted! I bit the bullet and went and brought some to try after a tummy bug was going around. It was great to spray over the bathroom and toilet and door handles to kill any germs before they had time to spread.
We always have a bottle of Dettol Hand Wash in each bathroom and the kitchen sink. Nice smell and makes you feel clean and fresh. There was no skin irritation and made our hands feel soft and clean.
My detox wipes I have them in the kitchen to wipe down benches etc in the bathroom. In the laundry. In the car .. I need them. I love the smell. It leaves my kitchen benches clean so I know I can trust them when preparing food that my Benches are clean .. I love the detail spray. After I have finished vacuuming dusting etc I go through with the spray. Just so my home smells fresh I know it’s clean .. I also use my detox wipes on my outside tables. .. Brilliant.
Dettol liquid hand wash is a product that I like to purchase on a frequent basis. As I do a fair amount of cooking, regular hand washing is normal practice. By using Dettol liquid hand wash, I’m reassured that my hands are clean and that harmful germs are eliminated.
Dettol liquid hand wash had pride of place at my kitchen sink, keeping cooking hands clean and safe as well as soft and moisturised,
I highly recommended using Dettol liquid hand wash for sneaky clean hands.
Great for quality, great for price, great for protecting my family from all the nasty things that are around. I really like using Dettol Brand items, especially the liquid hand wash, my girls love using straight after bathroom duties, or when they just have dirty hands. We can always rely on Dettol to keep our family safe and stop spreading germs
I have been using the Glen 20 for many years. I really love the smell of the ‘crisp linen’ fragrance. I also use this to keep mould away in the bathroom as well – it does the job.
I love the disinfectant wipes to – I use them on feet before doing any massages or treatments on people.
And the hand sanitizer I have in my bathroom – so I know if the kids don’t wash their hand for very long the sanitizer does the job.
I use Dettol because it’s a brand I trust and I know it does what it claims to do! Knowing my family are protected against germs and my home is hygienically clean is so important to me! I also use the Surface cleanser wipes at work – great for shared phones and canteen preparation areas!
ask anyone who has known me during my nesting phases with both of my sons, i would just use dettol from the bottle and dilute it into sprays or buckets of water and cleaned everything with it. even my first midwife home visit with my youngest commented on how clean and sterile my home smelled. my only disappointment with these products is that i am unable to get that original antiseptic smell from them (strange i know). my trust in dettol products have not wavered and i have used them for many years (especially after the antiseptic phases) and barring the wipes (we usually have pine’o’clean’) we use these as weekly staples in my household. i would definitely recommend these products and continue to use them in the future. they are fantastic, fresh smelling and easy to use and great for any houses with more messes and spills than a mum can know what to do with!
I recently purchased Detttol floor wipes & I was amazed at how sparkling my tiles were. These disposable wipes are just perfect for spills & I know my floor is hygienically clean. Dettol products stand out for me & I will continue to purchase these marvellous floor wipes.
The smell of Dettol to me means ‘clean’. I use the surface wipes on every surface in my home (bathroom, kitchen, bedrooms, outdoors etc) and only use Dettol liquid handwash. I recently found out that not only does the Dettol spray freshen up surfaces, rooms etc, but you can also spray it in smelly shoes and it gets rid of the odour!
I always have a bottle of Dettol hand sanitiser right next to the change table for use after a nappy change. I like to know that my hands are clean before I pick up my bub. It’s also not easy to be able to go wash your hands straight away, so the hand sanitiser is excellent. We also use it whenever there is sickness in the house. Again, washing your hands isn’t always an option quickly, but a quick squirt of sanitiser after wiping noses and I know we should be ok!
Dettol Glen 20 Spray Disinfectant is awesome, great for cleaning, protecting our home from germs, mould and making our house smell lovely. Dettol is definitely a brand I trust and have purchased these products already over and over and over again. I do feel my home is protected when I have these in my house. With little kiddies running around its a good feeling to protect against germs.
I definitely recommend to other mums and to families in general.
Thanks
I love the liquid hand wash. We use it most if the time. It foams well and smells nice. I do feel that my hands are very clean after washing with it. I love the spray to. I commonly use it as a room deodoriser. I also use it not the kitchen table but I always wash the table first then use the spray. I don’t like to use the spray alone on surfaces as I don’t think this actually removes and dirt or germs, I don’t think any brand of spray does that. I would buy these products again and I do think they are good quality, and a trusted brand
Dettol is a familiar brand that I trust and know.
Dettol liquid Hand Wash is always kept at the kitchen sink for super clean and germ free hands for when preparing food.
I love how it leaves my hands feeling soft which is a good thing with the constant hand washing I do while cooking.
I highly rate this product, I wouldn’t substitute it with anything else.

Genius Beach And Pool Tips Every Aussie Mum Should Know
Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!
But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier).
You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!
Pack Smart, Not Big
Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?
Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and
A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
A dry bag for clothes
A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
A pop-up tent for changing
Waterproof phone case
Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!
“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member
Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts
It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:
Swimming between the flags at the beach
Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel.
Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.
That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!
Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier
The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.
Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.
Prep & Time It Perfectly
There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.
“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member
Pack Smart Snacks
Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:
Chopped fruit
Crackers
Boiled eggs
Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight
“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member
A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!
You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with Banana Boat to bring you this article.
My biggest tip is to be very clear who’s watching the kids, especially when they’re in the water. Like, actually verbally hand over and make sure it’s acknowledged if you’re going somewhere (like to the bathroom). That can definitely save lives, but also save panics about lost kids in crowded spaces.
Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
