We use these at work so I can honestly say they are superior to all others. Shaped to fit your hand rather than hurt it, they are made of tougher plastic so the bristles dont wear away after a couple of uses, but are tough and up to the job. They have good longevity and are worth the price. Buying anything cheaper is a false economy. Do the job right first time, do it with Oates
where do i start!!! i ended up buying another couple for pretty much each room of the house.
Love how it gets rid of all the grum and grossness
So effective and easy to use
No more scrubbing with toothbrushes and hurting your wrist scrubbing for hours, this small brush is strong and has solid hard brissles that take the normal scrubbing work out of the picture. I did use a harsher chemical product with this as my grout was quite bad but this is by far the best it’s come up and it’s due to the brush for sure.
I have used this one prior to this trial and it really gets in and scrub my grout and it always removes so much grout everytime. Its easy to use and hold and it really moves the stubborn stuck dirt in my grout that has been there for the year. I love this grout brush i have brought it before and will continue to do so into the future.
Let’s be real, no one likes cleaning the grout in the shower. It’s a mundane, boring, time consuming job that no one wants to do so to trial a brush that takes the time out of it is fab!
The grippy handle makes it easier to hold onto, if you’re like me and clean the shower whilst you’re in it, it makes life easier. No dropping brushes because your hands are slippery.
The bristles are hard and durable meaning nothing gets left behind and if you need to scrub hard the bristles do the work for you
The grout cleaning brush is great at removing hard to reach areas in between tiles. The long handle makes it easier to use. The bristles are super strong too.
This Oates grout brush that I tried actually worked really well. Cleaning grout in the shower area can be quite time consuming and difficult, but this brush made the job a bit easier. It has nice hard stiff bristles that scrub mould away easily. The handle is easy to hold too. I would buy it again.
The oats grout brush is a godsend. It lives in my shower and is very convenient to use. It gets into the corners and hard to reach spots in the shower and under my floating cabinet. When it comes to cleaning the grout it does a great job as the bristles are quite strong aswell as the brush itself.
It withholds quite a lot of usage scrubbing, pressure and chemicals.

Its difficult to stay impartial with a trusted and reliable brand like Oates (as I was lucky enough to trial the cloth wipes and own a large scrubbing brush) but by gosh, the grout brush is awesome. Small enough to get in between tiles, sturdy enough to scrub effectively, unlike the old toothbrush we all use! I would love to compare it with the Koh grout cleaning brush to see how it stacks up (as I have friends who swear by Koh). Love that Oates is easily accessible for purchase.
Just perfect grunt brush. With long handle makes your job a little easier. Size perfect to keep in grout area. Not to hard – no problem with damaging tiles around. With some jif or cleaning cream that will make cleaning easy. Highly recommended for cleaning
This wonderful strong, perfect size and shape to clean all grout be from between floor tiles in bathroom and kitchens. I use once a month to keep our grout white all year round. This product keeps me cleaning chores to a much easier job.
The grout brush was surprisingly efficient on the grout behind the stove top where the grease is at its thickest and most stubborn. The picture below shows the grout untouched along the horizontal line and cleaned with the oates grout brush on the vertical. I can see white again! Very happy!
This product has so many uses around the house. Bathroom, kitchen, window tracks. It was hard to know where I should dedicate it. I think it needs to be sold in a double or triple pack so that you can keep one for every room it could be used! A handy tool and definitely beats using old toothbrushes on the crevices and hard to reach spots!

This is a great brush for scrubbing grout or any narrow spot.
It is surprising how many tiled areas you have in your house that this brush can be used for. Plus if you throw in window edges to boot it is very versatile.
Love the oats grout brush. Its good quality strong and the shape easily gets inbetween the tiles and small spaces to get a great clean. The handle is soft and a little flexible the brush head has good hard bristles. Highly recommended and definitely will be well used.
I haven’t really used this more than a couple of times, hut it’s perfect for what it’s designed to do. It gets into the grout lines and actually cleans it with very little elbow grease or cleaning products. I’d buy this again and would recommend it to anyone who needs an effective, easy-to-use and comfortable grout cleaning brush.

this was the perfect brush for bathroom cleaning I’ve used plenty of others in the past but never one that actually worked this well the bristles were hard enough for a thorough clean but soft enough that it wouldn’t destroy anything either super happy with this brush 100% recommend won’t ever use anything else

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!
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.
