As mums, we are always on the lookout for appliances that will take care of our family’s needs.

Which is why we were thrilled to announce the Kleenmaid product review where we delivered an Eco Sensitive Washing Machine (LW8014) to a group of mums to trial and review at home!

Here’s why all mums will love the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive Washing Machine …

Detergent Mix and Spray

The Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive Washing Machine mixes the detergent with water before spraying into the drum of the machine – a unique process which ensures the detergent gently yet thoroughly penetrates the fibres of the clothes being washed. This also means that the water temperature can be lowered by up to 50%, which means less wear on fabrics and allows whites and colours to be washed together.

Dynamic Drum Design

The holes in the drum of a washing machine play an important role in improving the gentleness and effectiveness of your daily wash. Kleenmaid’s Dynamic Drum Design cleverly optimises the number, shape and size of the holes for optimal cleanliness and has a counter rotating drum to ensure your clothes don’t get tangled.

Spiral Curved Agitators

The spiral curved shaping of the agitators in the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive Washing Machine continuously yet gently moves the wash load into the centre of the drum, guaranteeing a comprehensive and total clean every time.

Strong and silent

The unique ‘boomerang’ design on the side walls gives the machine’s cabinet strength and keeps noise to a minimum. This means, you can do your washing at a convenient time, while being sure you won’t wake your little ones enjoying forty winks.

Eliminates allergens and bacteria

Using the ‘Allergy Safe’ program, seven allergens and four bacteria types can be eliminated, giving you the peace of mind that your wash is as sanitary as possible.

15 fully customisable wash programs

The Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive Washing Machine lets you select from three different stain levels, multiple spin speeds, cold to 90°C wash temperatures as well as easy ironing options, giving you a customised wash every time. There’s even the option of a 12 minute rapid wash for when you need clean clothes, fast.

Eco logical system

The Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive Washing Machine weighs the wash load at the start of each new cycle, meaning you’ll not only save water but also energy.

Safety and protection

To protect your Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive Washing Machine, the LW8014 comes with an impressive list of controls including excessive foam control, overflow protection, multiple failure detection, child safety lock and 3 year full parts and labour warranty, which is supported by Kleenmaid’s highly skilled national service network.

  • All I do is washing

    I would like to review the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive Washing Machine as mine is on its way out and with a large family trying to do washing my hand is going to take me forever to get through. Plus the thought of trying to wash sheets by hand is putting me off. This machine sounds really good and I like the fact that the hot water can be up to 50% less and I also like that the detergent mixes with the water before spraying into the drum that makes more sense to me. I would really like to try out this product and hope I get an opportunity to do so.

  • No more dog smell!

    I threw my dog’s bed and blanket into the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive washing machine. I admit I hadn’t washed either for some months so they absolutely stank and were covered in dog hair! The dog bed looked a bit lumpy from washing when it came out (I put the spin on 800rpm so it was pretty wrung out and nearly dry!) but it shook back into shape easily. Both the dog bed and the blanket came out smelling nothing like dog, just a lovely ‘just washed’ smell, and all the dog hairs were gone. Lots of room in the machine too, it easily held the dog bed and the blanket with room to add more. Dog not happy with his clean bed, but I am very happy!

  • 12 minute wash cycle

    I had a last minute sports uniform ’emergency’ today- i.e. my son wanted his sports uniform to take to school, it was at the bottom of the clothes basket wet and smelly. Did the 12 minute wash option on the machine, chucked the clothes in the drier and they were ready in about half an hour!

  • Dust Mite Allergy Benefit

    My old top loader had the hot water plumbed into the machine, meaning I could only wash to around 50 deg C. I have always hot washed all bedding and towels due to my sons severe allergies to dust mites. Having washed towels and bedding in the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive machine he has commented on feeling better when waking in the morning, and being less reliant on his preventer medication. I have been washing the towels and bedding at 70 deg C, and using the extra rinse cycles. It is great to think his need for medication has dropped. The bedding and towels look and smell cleaner than they ever have in the past! An added bonus of the machine is the hot rinse that can be done when washing at lower temperatures – this ensures all clothing and bedding can be adequately treated. Customised wash setting like these are just not available with other machines.

  • Dry Clean Only? Not with the new Kleenmaid!

    I decided to test the new machine on some winter jackets that needed freshening up. One was a wool blend coat, the other a feather filled jacket. I would never have put these in any top loader, but decided to put them in the Kleenmaid eco sensitive machine on the hand wash cycle. The jackets came out like new! I was so impressed that this machine – it will certainly cut down on my dry cleaning bill in the future!

  • Suits washed

    I thought I would give the hand wash cycle a go and put two school blazers in for a wash over the weekend- I usually dry clean them but they came up really well. Grime on collars gone and tomato sauce on a sleeve no longer there! No more trips to the dry cleaner!

  • The dreaded rugby shirts after a rainy Sunday game

    Since we have to test the new Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive we volunteered to clean the rugby jerseys after a Sunday game in the rain and mud. Yet again the machine did not disappoint. The setting for extra dirty, combined with the extra rinse cycle was great. I love how the machine can be so easily programmed to suite the wash that you require. Attached are some photos so you can judge for yourself.

  • Kleenmaid - old versus new

    Having previously owned (and loved) a Kleenmaid top loader washing machine, I was very excited to be selected to trial the new Eco Sensitive washing machine. The old Kleenmaid was reliable, easy to use and always gave a great wash. I wondered how the new machine would compare – I was not disappointed! The Eco Sensitive is again easy to use, and provides the added advantages of being able to customise the wash cycles depending on the wash need. There is the short 12 minute cycle, the versatile 60 minute / 60 deg C cycle and the cotton cycle. My clothes are emerging cleaner than they have in the old machine, without the need for soaking. The kids school shirts look like new with the grubby collars and cuffs white again! I am looking forward to finding out all the features of this machine over the next few weeks!

  • 60 at 60

    So I’ve been trialling the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive machine for about 2 weeks and during that time I’ve probably done about 14 loads of washing, and I’ve been using all of the different programs to work out what works for me and my family. Day to day the program I’m using the most is the 60 degrees for 60 minutes cycle. It’s quick and means I can get a couple of loads done in the evening, ready to hang out the next morning. I change the temperature to cold for my coloured washes, and love how you can change the temperature even when the cycle has started! My next load is going to be the dog bed and blanket- not sure if it has a special program (hand wash?). Watch this space!

  • 1400 spin option is great

    My current machine spins to 1200 (?rpm I think it’s called!), which is fine in summer. But at this time of year and for the next 4-5 months I find I need to finish the washing off in the clothes dryer, as the shorter days and less sun means my clothes don’t completely dry. I’ve found that putting a load of washing in the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive with the 1400 spin option (which is the default spin speed) the clothes come out of the machine drier and they are completely drying on the line- so no double handling of washing, and I’m saving on my energy bill!

  • Just brilliant

    This machine is so quiet, I had to really listen to hear it! The allergy wash is particularly good as 2 of my kids suffer from allergies. This wash eliminates the nasties causing allergies. There 15 wash programs, every size and washing level is catered for. And it weighs your washing so it knows how much water to use, which saves water consumption. So many safety and protection pluses in place. An all over excellent machine, super impressed

  • I love my new washing machine, thankyou Kleenmaid.

    After using my 30 year old washing machine I was lucky enough to be in a position to purchase the new Eco Sensitive washing machine from Kleenmaid. I am so impressed the spin dry is amazing cuts the actual drying time for sure. To be able to choose between all the different wash settings/options is a real treat for me. I no longer run from my ugly laundry, it now looks amazing so modern and sleek.

  • My amazing new washing machine, thank you Kleenmaid.

    I recently took advantage of the Kleenmaid offer of saving $1000 off a new Eco Sensitive, I am so glad I did. I love it after using a very old washer for the last 30 years. I especially love that my towels in particular don’t take as long to dry, the spin dry on this washer is amazing. Love all the different settings/options. My laundry is looking quite sexy, so sleek I don’t run from my laundry anymore.

  • Kleenmaid

    Wow this is a great washing machine to Iove. The Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive Washing Machine is sensitive to all my washing needs. the 12 minute eco cycle is so great when you really need something washed in a hurry (like a forgotten choir shirt or gym gear that we have washed in a hurry).

  • 12 minute cycle

    Last night there was a need for sports clothes washed in a hurry – what a saviour to have the 12 minute cycle. Not even my old top loader had a cycle this quick, and the wash was fantastic. The clothes came out much dryer than they would have in the old machine, meaning they could dry overnight and be ready for the next day at school. Best of all – it was not me but my daughter wheo had to operate the machine having never operated it (or any other machine for that matter) as both myself and my husband were out. It is pleasing that the machine is so simple to use, but so effective in it’s wash.

    Every parent loves when the crisis is adverted!

  • Kleenmaid Front loader ve Kleenmaid top loader

    I was always hesitant to buy a front loader, as I though, “I don’t have time to wait hours for a wash .. I’m a busy mum!”. Since moving out of home I have only ever owned 2 machines ( in 23 years). I owned a Kleenmaid that sadly died after 18 years, and would happily have purchased another, as it never missed a beat. Unfortunately Kleenmaid were not available in Australia at that time. I replaced it with another good quality top loader. My top loader cleaned the clothes well, and more importantly QUICKLY! Having trialled the Kleenmaid eco sensitive I am stunned to find that there is a 30 minute cycle which cleans better than my top loader! There is no residue of soap powder on my darks, due to the pre-mixing of the detergent, and the clothes come out less creased, making ironing easier! By not having a centre agitator, I am impressed by the amount of clothes I can fit in. Best of all, being a Kleenmaid machine, I am assured of its reliability long term.

  • It will be like losing a new best friend :(

    Tomorrow is the sad day that I have to say goodbye to the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive Washing machine. When it was installed the guy installing said to me ” the lady before you didn’t want us to take it”. Now I fully understand why. This machine is quiet, gentle on your clothes but so effective in cleaning. It has a great range of programmes and is so versatile that you can tailor your wash to suit the stain level and the temperature. The times of the wash adjust to this so if the stain level is low than the wash time is reduced. This is one clever machine ( or maybe we can give the designers the credit). I would highly recommend this machine without hesitation.

  • Dare to Doona

    So it’s that time of year when the doona change is happening. I would normally get my doona dry cleaned but seeing as its an 8kg machine i decided to give it a whirl. The doona fitted in well with space. I used a cotton cycle and sat back and awaited the results. My doona is beautifully clean and smells so fresh. Once again I’m really impressed with the results 🙂

    My older sister has one of these washing machines and she has two little ones like me. She loves the child safety element on the machine and I admit I’m jealous as my kids try and fiddle around with our washing machine. She also loves that her clothes wash so well as her little girls love to paint. I have to admit everyone in her family always have well presented clothes

    After a weekend of sports us mothers can dread the cleaning of the sports wear especially if your the mum that has the 20 rugby shirts to wash ! Even the muddiest shirt was sparkling after the wash and the cycle only took one hour and twenty. Very effective on those tough stains

    The dial and settings are so straight forward to use and select I even got my teenager to put on a load of washing. Also being that the display is digital its so easy to work out. Who would of thought a washing machine would spark a teenagers interest ! The hanging the washing out by the teenager was not executed as well as the wash though 😉

  • Allergy Safe Cycle

    Having a child with eczema and dust mite allergies and knowing that this cycle is helping the symptoms is giving me peace of mind when I tuck him in his bed at night in the fresh clean sheets. The allergy safe cycle works up to 4 kgs so you can get those bed sheets in and know that they are super clean.

    When you pull up in your driveway and you can smell your clean washing now that’s fresh ! I am using exactly the same powder and softener as usual but the clothes are just so much fresher. Even on the shortest of washes this is the case. I’m blown away by the effectiveness of this washing machine.

Article Genius Beach And Pool Tips Every Aussie Mum Should Know

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!

New Banana Boat Sport SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml and Banana Boat Kids SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml (RRP $28.00) are available now at leading pharmacies, supermarkets and online retailers nationwide. 

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.
