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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    This toilet cleaner works so well because it has bleach in it. It keeps the toilet clean for the most part and makes it easy to clean when it is dirty.

    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.

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Sandhurst

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board 

Sandhurst article image

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

    Reply

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen 🙂

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.
