Harpic Bleach Hygienic :
4.28 out of 5 based on 368 reviews.

As mums, it’s important to us that the toilets in our homes are always clean, hygienic and smelling fresh.  Which is why we know you’ll be excited about the Harpic Bleach Hygienic Product Review!

Introducing Harpic Bleach HYGIENIC … an innovation in toilet blocks, now with BLEACH, it helps clean and remove germs with every flush.

Harpic Hygienic is the first cageless hanging toilet block. This means no unsightly plastic cage in your toilet bowl to harbour germs and smells, no refillable cages and 3 times less plastic** And because it now comes with BLEACH you can feel confident that you’re getting a powerful clean with every flush for up to 1000 flushes*.

Using Harpic Bleach Hygienic couldn’t be easier. Simply hook the cageless block onto the rim of your toilet where water flow is at its maximum. With every flush, the water dissolves the solid formula which cleans the inside of the bowl, helping to remove odours, and leaving your toilet smelling clean and fresh.

6 great reasons to consider Harpic Bleach Hygienic:

  • Powerful cleaning with bleach
  • Hygienic
  • Cleans and fragrances
  • Lasts up to 1000 flushes*
  • Safe for septic tanks
  • No plastic cage means 3 times less plastic**

**In comparison with classic Harpic rim block (Info: www.ourhome-ourplanet.com)
* based on twin pack

Harpic Hygienic also comes in 3 other great variants, Citrus, Rainforest and Marine. Find it in Coles, Woolworths and independent supermarkets.

Recommended retail price is $4.99 for a twin pack.

In the Harpic Bleach Hygienic MoM Product Review, we’re sending mums a twin pack of Harpic Bleach Hygienic.  We’re asking them to put Harpic Bleach Hygienic to the ‘Real Mum, Real Life’ test, compare it to their current rim block toilet cleaners and post their review and ratings.

  • Happy with Harpic Bleach Hygienic

    During the week we tested and trialed Harpic Bleach Hygienic in our toilet. It has definitely been put to the test and I am happy to feed back that we are incredibly pleased with Harpic Bleach Hygienic. It is a quality product with a fresh and clean smell; that is not overpowering. Will happily purchase this product in the future.

  • lovely scent

    Harpic has been around for a very long time, I remember my mum and grandparents using it and now I do too in my own house.

    They are simple to use, just clip it on. Last for a long time and have a great aroma. My favourite is the marine.

  • Definitely recommend this product

    I clean the toilets daily and sometimes even more as I am in the process of toilet training my little boy. I wanted something that could remove any yucky smells and something that could help minimise the toilet cleaning. Not only did it remove the smell but I’m finding I only have to clean the toilet every second day if I want to.

  • Wow a clean toilet

    With having boys with Crohns it’s important that I keep my toilet as clean as possible and this is great it’s real value for money it does what it says its going to do .. And the smell is not over powering with some times boys hanging over the bowl being sick…it’s easy to use. I must still clean every day but now I am not running into the two toilets after the boys have been .. And it’s really helps with the sour odour. So yes a very good product.

    I have purchased haripc for years . I found the harpic with beach was the one that made the toilet bowl the cleanest.
    I also purchase the garpuc gel this is great for added cleanness it made my toilet sparkling.
    The price was good the harpic that clips to the side if the bowl was $3.49 and the gel was $4.99. It us a great product.

  • Easy to use

    I like using Harpic Bleach Hygienic in my toilets.
    I don’t seem to have to clean the bowl as frequently as I once did and it leaves my loo smelling, well not like a toilet!
    Fitting the toilet block to the loo is fairly straightforward and simple and once it’s finished, it’s easy to remove. Not any fuss at all.
    In regards to how long it lasts, the majority of the time it seems to last a while however, every now and then, it just goes! Hmm, not sure about this bit!?
    purchading on special also helps in keeping the cost down.

  • Good Value and smalls great

    I use the harpic toilet blocks all the time. I really like the yellow lemon fragrance but only last week bought the green ones for a change. They definitely make a difference. They are easy and non messy to use and at around $2.50 each they are value for money. I use them and recommend them to all.

    i used this product and i was highly impressed. it offered everything that it promised and my toilet actually smelled good and was staying cleaner than it had in a very long time. the price was good and competitive to most other products within that market but there is a but: it does not last nearly as long as the other products within this market. based on the longevity of the product and compared to those of a similar price the competitor tends to work out better as these dissolve easily and need to be replaced far more frequently. i would love to buy and use this product, and if it lasted longer i certainly would

    I find that the Harpic Bleach hygienic toilet block really works. It keeps the loo looking and smelling fresh all the time. I find it easy to use and fairly long lasting. You still need to clean your loo properly but with Harpic Bleach Hygienic I’m able to stretch out that clean for longer and the toilet still looks great.

    I love this product. Easy to put on the loo, nothing leaked onto my hand. It’s bleach scent just made it smell so clean and the loo stayed brilliantly white for longer. I Chang it around once a month but the one in the guest loo has been in there for 3 months and still has a wonderful clean scent. It has definitely saved me time and money and would definitely recommend to my friends, I actually recommended it to my sister who is a clean “freak” and she loves it. Thanks for making my life that little more simple

  • Love the smell of bleach in the loo

    I normally use a Harpic Hygenic in my loo but since using one with bleach in it, I won’t be going back to the basic ones. Having it contain bleach has kept my loo cleaner for longer, my loo always smells fresh and its great to know my loo is clean in case of unexpected visitors. Using the Harpic Hygenic with bleach has made cleaning the loo easier and less often and they are so easy to put onto the loo anyone could do it.

    After reading the reviews on Mom’s by Mom’s community members I decided to buy and try Harpic Bleach Hygienic. I was able to easily locate the product on the shelf and was happy with the price of the product. Some products were cheaper and some more expensive; however; I want a quality product. I have placed it as instructed in the toilet and am happy with the results so far. Will give the product a week to trial.

    this product is ok and keeps the bowl clean however does not keep the rim u der the bowl clean. The actual container can get dirty which is really grosse and I threw it out half way through use as faces was on it. The price is in medium price I feel it is ok product but still needed to use other products also to keep my toilet clean. I also used a second one and it got stuck in the plumbing and we hand to get a plumber out to come and get it so I don’t recommend this product for my family.

  • Harpic Hygeinic not as good as expected

    I purchased this product as anything that promises to reduce the amount of time I have to spend cleaning toilets if welcome in this house, I was disappointed with the product as I always use Harpic products, I think I have become used to having a Blue Loo and just having a little froth on the water did not do it for me!! I did like the basket less idea, however if this was with a lavender or some nice fragrance I would be more impressed, so basically this just did not provide what I like, which is a blue loo, that smells nice, I would not consider it good value as I have to buy other products to complete my process!! I think it did keep it cleaner but not to any great degree as with sons it still needs checking several times a day, I do not think I would buy again unless they improved it, made it smellier and blue!!

  • Simple and Easy to use

    I’ve never been a fan of the cage blocks that hang around in your toilet and gather germs and just look generally horrible after a short amount of time. Let alone having to change the block inside (thats a glove job). The harpic blocks are fantastic. They last for a long time, smell fresh and clean and when its over, you just chuck the stick in the bin and pop another brand new block on the toilet.

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.

*Zinc as Zinc Oxide. Tested on adult skin as a suitable substitute for baby skin.
*#1 choice in Australian hospitals based on sales data.

  • 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.

  • 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.
