  • Kitchen Stable

    I’ve found this not only does a excellent job at cleaning my dishes but it also doesn’t become smelly after time like previous ones have. It’s fast drying between uses and I’ve even put it through the washing machine for a quick wash and it hasn’t damaged the sponge at all.

  • Loves these sponges, no scratches!

    I tried this sponge out on my pots and pans after dinner. I had tried my normal sponge scourer and when it just wasn’t doing the job I gave the oats sponge scourer a go and it was super easy. It got the baked on grease off the pans and left no scratches.

  • SPARKLES LIKE NEW

    I totally loved these sponges. They don’t fall apart after a use or two , like many other brands. These heavy Duty Sponges really clean pots and pans and bring them back to the shine of new. Great
    Antibacterial Qualities which help inhibit the growth of germs and odours in the sponges which make them last longer.

    This sponge was just what I needed to scrub the dried playdough of my kids craft table. It did the job in no time. Would definitely buy again.

  • Anti-bacterial sponge scours make washing up a Little Less stubborn

    Oates anti bacterial sponge scour are a great effective must have for every kitchen. The scouring pad on the back of the sponge makes cleaning that stubborn food off the pots and dishes a breeze without the damage of scratches. They are not so abrasive and scrubs gently but effectively. Also great for the kitchen benches, oven and bathroom. Makes the washing up and removing soap scum from bathrooms so much easier and shinier. Although my sponge scour pack of 3 did have one pad with manufacturing defect (some of green scour pad missing) but still didn’t effect the cleaning lol

  • A quality classic

    The yellow sponge and green scourer are a staple in most households and Ive had my fair share of them. These are great quality and last more than a few uses while retaining their shape and scouring ability. Fantastic for a wide range of jobs around the home and got my roasting dishes looking great again while minimal effort.
    Will be my go to sponge scourer from now on.

  • YES to Oates Anti-Bacterial Sponge Scourer

    The Oates Anti-Bacterial Sponge Scourer is heaven sent. It has anti-bacterial properties so it’s very safe to use on my bub’s plates, cups and utensils. The scourer side is quite tough on removing stubborn, dry grimes on my dishes and pans while the sponge side is very absorbent especially when I’m cleaning the kitchen sink, dining table, stove top.

  • Love the dual purpose

    I find the metal scourers scratch my pots and pans apart which ruin them. I love these are soft enough not to leave any marks but that they are also strong enough to remove stuck on pieces of food. The added on sponge I love helps clean other dishes etc cups and plates. These are so handy in the kitchen because the dual sponge and scourer in the one product makes such a difference to how long it takes to clean up in the kitchen.

  • Not my favourite

    I feel like if you have tried one scourer you have tried them all.
    This worked just like most others it did the job it was made to do,but I found the straight rectangle shape along with the size annoying to work with and I have fairly large hands. I feel like they need some curves on the side to give you a better hold of the sponge and make it more ergonomic.

  • Great for general cleaning

    Oates sponge scour is different from other sponges I have used so far, I use the sponge for any hard scrubbing surfaces and to remove hard stubborn residue. These sponge works well on any thing without leaving any scratch marks. It is antibacterial properties gives a peace of mind that they work against the germs.

  • Great sponge and no scratches

    I use similar sponges and after trying to clean an oven tray with a lot of baked on cheese and grease I was almost ready to give up. Then I tried these antibacterial sponge-scourers and couldn’t believe how much better they cleaned it off and without scratching! I’m definitely sticking with these from now on! Great to have a heavy duty scratch free scourer combined with a soft sponge and it’s antibacterial for added peace of mind

    We’ve been using this all week with the dishes and it’s held up really well, it almost looks like new. There’s no smell, it’s kept it’s shape & we like that it’s a big larger than other brands. It’s also done well cleaning the bathroom.

    It’s a good size , shape and is antibacterial, didn’t leave a horrible smell after just one use like other brands I have tried !
    Less elbow was used when scrubbing the dirty pots after making eggs especially!
    Have used a few times now and still hasn’t fallen apart ! I love that they have multiple uses , bathroom , kitchen , anywhere!!!
    Definitely adding to the shopping list to get more

  • Double action dishwashing cleaner to get the job done

    Been using these and similar products for many years and I love them. The sponge is effective and gentle for getting rid of all normal foods, dirts and grime off all surfaces. Flip it over and the scour will get those hard to get off those baked on messes. Oh … And they are antibacterial too for added incentive to uae them.

  • Good sponge scourer, works well

    The Oates Anti-Bacterial Sponge Scourer is good quality and effective. It doesn’t feel flimsy or fall apart after a few washes. It is a good size and shape and easy to handle. As for the anti-bacterial part, it is hard to judge whether or not it really did help in that aspect, but the fact that it is advertised as being anti-bacterial makes me feel better because I feel less germs are building up in my sponge.

  • Not just another sponge :)

    I used my sponge mainly in the kitchen and the bathroom so far!! The dirtiest places in the house when you have 2 kids. I don’t always have time to clean before work so sometimes the dining table only gets cleaned after work and still has weetbix stuck to it ???? Same with the pans! A nightmare! Well I used the hard side of the brush and it cleaned the dining table so quick without me having to scrub like crazy!! So so happy! I also used it on my sink and on to all the pans which again worked amazing. I have now put a sponge in the bathroom too just for a quick antibacterial wipe up of the sink at the end of day. The Sponge seem to hold as well and don’t deteriorate after 1 clean like I have seen with some others.

  • Good Anti-Bacteria Sponge

    Used them for the bathroom and cleaning the kitchen sink.
    As its not scratch proof, I couldn’t use it to wash my non-stick pans/pots.
    If not for that, its a good product.
    Could Oates make a non-stick scratch proof version?

  • grime doesn't stand a chance

    Another staple for our home cleaning collection. What a handy scrub sponge. Not having a dishwasher it’s good to have all the handy and necessary cleanup tools. A sponge is always handy but having the scrub scourer side is a game changer. So good to get rid of the tougher built up stains and food on some dishes. It’s also a sponge I’m going to keep on hand for any areas that are harder to clean sometimes like the stove top etc. Sinple and very effective.

    I keep a pack of these Oates Scour ‘n’ Sponges in my kitchen, laundry and bathroom. I love they are heavy duty, easily removes dirt, grime and scum in my sinks, basins and around the taps.
    A bonus is they are anti-bacterial so I don’t have to worry about all the nasties!

  • Perfect to sponge that grunge!

    I was not expecting a great deal from a scouring sponge but was pleasantly surprised. I have tried some in the past for stuck on food on fry pans however I found they easily got clogged with food so their life was limited. The Oates Heavy Duty Scour ‘n’ Sponge is superior to those I have tried before. I was able to clean the stuck on scrambled egg off easily from my saucepan, and it rinsed clean again. The antibacterial quality gives me peace of mind to use it for scrubbing off food, knowing it will not harbour bacteria afterwards. The packaging says to allow the sponge to dry after rinsing. I found this morning that the sponge still felt wet after using it last night, so I think it needs to be squeezed out after rinsing.
    The edge of my sink tends to accumulate grungy gunk where it meets the wood surrounding it. I used one of the scour ‘n’ sponges to clean this area, and it did the job really well, as well as putting a sparkling shine on the kitchen sink.
    I used one of the scour ‘n’ sponges to clean the ensuite vanity basin and top. It was both gentle and effective, not leaving any scratches, leaving the vanity basin area looking sparkling clean.
    I like that the sponge is easy to hold while cleaning, so that my skin does not need to be in contact with the scourer at all. I will definitely be continuing to buy this product!

Having three young kids, juggling their commitments and her own as a school teacher means Kristie Young’s days revolve around snacking on-the-go. And she admits she’s not always reaching for the best options! So she was thrilled to try out new Nice & Natural Deluxe Protein Bars and says she’ll be restocking next time she’s shopping.

Kristie is right in the middle of one her busiest seasons of life – juggling three kids (two at school), a job, partner and household. But this year, she’s made a commitment to herself.

“I’m always running around. Always a million things on my to do list, but wouldn’t have it any other way.” Kristie told Mouths of Mums.

“But I’m turning 40 this year and I thought I really need to start prioritising myself, because for the last seven years, I’ve been pregnant, breastfeeding, busy with the kids, I have not looked after myself at all.

“So this year, I’m really starting to get back into my own fitness journey, health journey, and eating a lot better and starting to eat more regularly and eat more protein filled meals and snacks that will fill me up. So I’m not just reaching for sugary snacks, especially around that afternoon, where I’m getting tired from being awake with the baby all night and just finding myself reaching for junk in the cupboard.”

A self-confessed snacker, Kristie says her snacking habit is worse during school holidays when she’s constantly making in-between meals for the kids. So she decided to give Nice & Natural Deluxe Protein Bars a try, as part of the Mouths of Mums review team.

“They were actually filling. I like that they had eight grams of protein, because that’s something that I’m really trying to increase this year, having more protein. And they taste amazing, which is obviously great and I like that they have chocolate, because normally in the afternoon, I’m reaching for something sugary, something chocolatey, and this way I know I’m getting that protein hit as well. So they’re a bit more filling.

“They help me last until dinner time without reaching for all these other little snacks in between.”

“I also like that they’re easy to take out and about. So when I’m doing kinder drop off, dancing. I always pack snacks and food for the kids and forget myself. It’s been good put myself first and have something in the bag and on the go for me too.”

Nice & Natural Deluxe Protein Bars not only satisfy those constant cravings throughout the day, they’re temptingly tasty. With layers of nuts and soy crisps and enveloped in milk or dark chocolate, it’s every sweet-tooth’s dream.

“I’ve tried quite a few different protein bars, and some of them I don’t like the aftertaste or the textures too hard. Whereas I found this had a nice amount of crunch, the flavour was really nice, and the perfect amount of chocolate too.”

With three delectable flavours to choose from, Nice & Natural Deluxe Protein Bars make mum me-time an indulgent treat, with no artificial flavours or colours:

Salted Caramel, Cashew & Choc: Crunchy cashews, peanuts and soy crisps, topped with a delicious caramel layer and coated in rich milk choc.

Cookies & Cream Dark Choc: Crunchy peanuts and soy crisps, topped with a delicious cream layer and coated in rich dark choc.

Almond & Double Choc: Crunchy almonds, peanuts and soy crisps, topped with a delicious white choc layer and coated in rich milk choc.

How amazing do these flavours sound?! Kristie tried a couple of the flavours, and for her the Salted Caramel, Cashew & Choc was an absolute standout!

“I’ve got the Almond & Double Choc, which I love and Salted Caramel, Cashew & Choc. And at first I thought this one might be too sweet with the salted caramel, but it’s actually not. It’s perfect, the perfect balance. Probably my favourite!’

“They’re so good for having the desk draw at work, those little snacks. I’m not just reaching for sugary rubbish. I know they’ve got protein, especially in the afternoon, when I am running low on energy from being kept awake all night. It’s good to have these in the drawer and just have one each day, which I’m enjoying, something to look forward to at work.

“I’m putting them on the shopping list, so when I run out of these, I’m off to get some more for myself. My partner tried them, and he’s approved them. He wants some too. I said he can’t have my stash, so I know I’ll definitely be stocking up again at the supermarket. I’m recommending them and really enjoying them.”

Purchase Nice & Natural Deluxe Protein Bars from Woolworths and Coles.
