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
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

‘I Grabbed My Car Keys And RAN!’ The New Supermarket Bread Everyone’s Talking About
Mum-of-two Rebecca McCracken has spent the last four years reading ingredient lists on pretty much everything she buys at the supermarket.
Like many parents raising kids with food allergies, a quick trip to the supermarket often means checking labels, comparing products and hoping to find something the whole family can eat.
Bec’s four-year-old son and 17-month-old daughter were both born with cow’s milk protein allergy. While her son has since outgrown his allergies, her toddler still reacts to dairy, making even everyday staples like bread a challenge.
“Unless we buy expensive sourdough for seven or eight dollars, we don’t really have a choice.”
Even then, it’s not ideal.
“A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich,” Bec laughs. “And fairy bread on sourdough is not great.”
A New Loaf On The Block
Bec runs an online community for allergy families, so she spends plenty of time sharing recipes, product finds and supermarket discoveries with other parents.
It was one of those parents who first told her about new JUST bread.
“A follower messaged me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, this bread is coming soon.’ I was like, ‘Where? When? I need to know. I’m getting my car keys and running!'”
Made with baker’s flour, water, yeast, vinegar, oil and salt, JUST bread contains no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours.
For Bec, it sounded almost too good to be true. “When we saw JUST bread, I was like, ‘You’re joking.’ A bread that’s fresh baked but in the bread aisle? That’s unheard of for us.”
“It was really exciting for our family and for the allergy community.”
The Family’s Toughest Critic Approved
Of course, there was one person whose opinion mattered more than anyone else’s.
“My toughest critic is my daughter. She is so fussy. We know something is really good if she approves it, and she approves it. She loves it. She’ll eat it plain, toasted, as French toast … whatever. She loves it.”
Bec says she was impressed too.
“I like it. I like that it’s only got minimal ingredients and doesn’t have the additives and preservatives that are in a lot of other brands.”
A Simpler Option For Everyday Families
Bec tried out JUST bread because of her family’s allergies, but she says it has a broader appeal.
“I think everyone is becoming more conscious of additives and preservatives in their food.”
It’s a feeling many of us can probably relate to. We don’t all want to overhaul the way we eat, but plenty of us are paying a little more attention to ingredient lists and looking for products that keep things simple.
Bread is one of those foods that’s always around. It ends up in lunchboxes, on the breakfast table, alongside soup on a cold night and covered in hundreds and thousands at birthday parties. When we eat something that often, it’s only natural to wonder what’s in it.
JUST bread keeps things simple with a handful of pantry ingredients and no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. It’s the sort of loaf that fits easily into busy family life without asking us to compromise on taste or convenience.
Little Changes, Big Difference
For Bec, finding a loaf of bread her whole family can enjoy is about more than ticking another item off the shopping list.
“It seems like such a little thing to the normal community, but for us this is a massive win.”
Being able to make sandwiches without worrying about ingredients. Packing lunchboxes a little more easily. Bringing back fairy bread for birthdays. Sometimes it’s the little things that make family life feel a whole lot simpler.
And while Bec found JUST bread because she needed another allergy-friendly option, its simple ingredient list is likely to appeal to plenty of other families too. After all, when we can choose everyday foods made with ingredients we recognise, that’s a pretty good place to start.
JUST Bread is made on a line that also processes soy and sesame.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with JUST. to bring you this article. JUST bread is made with just a handful of pantry ingredients. JUST. The Good Stuff.
It’s at a good price point for families on a tight budget and is “cleaner” but missing the mark with Canola oil . I wouldn’t be running to a supermarket for it but it’s alot better than other varieties on the market. It’s nice to see supermarkets are at least trying and listening
Most breads are dairy free anyway so I am surprised by this article. Additive free is a bonus. I always go for a grain bread nowadays and have the kids eating it too so I’ll be sticking with that. It’s always great to have variety out there though for the ones that need it.
We bought this bread from the supermarket and it is a good price for bread which of course can indeed be expensive. Each slice is a good size and our favourite meal to create and eat with this bread is cheese toasties. The bread holds and is good to eat.
I am so glad to hear about this and will definitely be on a look out for this in the supermarket. I have noticed that there are starting to be more ‘cleaner’ products in the supermarket, meaning consumers are being heard. We are going full circle back to how foods use to be produced before companies got greedy and started taking shortcuts to producing food items. I hope we continue seeing more preservative and additive free options that are affordable come back in the supermarkets.

Grabbing your car keys and running for a bread ?? I can’t imagine doing so for a bread lol ! It’s nice to see that more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and put on the market.
I don’t agree with the statement that “A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich”. It depends on what type of bread you introduce to your kids. My kids grew up with 7 seeds, rustic bread and sourdough and they love it. It’s also quite easy and cheap to make sourdough bread yourself.
I haven’t seen this bread in the supermarket but will be looking for it now. I have been trying to avoid preservatives and additives for some time now and as highlighted in the article bread it difficult to find, or super expensive, without them so I don’t have it often.
This is fantastic, finally a bread that is not full of nasty stuff. I will be going straight out to buy this. My son has ARFID and will only eat white bread, but it’s not terribly healthy. With this bread, at least I know that it is much healthier than the alternatives. Woohoo
I cant wait to give this bread a go (so far its always been sold out at my local woolies so it must be good). So good its suitable for those with allergies too. I think nowadays were all looking for cleaner options of ingredients in our foods so this is a step in the right direction.
I am glad more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and offered. I don’t agree with Bec’s statement that kids don’t like sourdough bread. My kids were introduced to sourdough and the most rustic and seeded breads from the time they started to eat bread, and they love it
Oh I cannot wait to try this bread! We go through that much bread each week and I always feel so guilty with how much my kids have – not anymore! Would love to see them introduce other variants in the future – multigrain and gluten free would be superb!
This is such a great product that I’m looking forward to trying! I’ve only been buying bread from bakeries the last few years because grocery store bread texture was so dense and unpleasant. But the hassle with bakery bread is I can’t get it everywhere! I’ll be really keen to give this a go
