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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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

“My Floor Has Never Been So Clean”: The Mop That’s Winning Over Mums
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.
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.”
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.
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!
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.
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.
