    The Oates Light Duty Corner Scrub made cleaning into corners a real breeze. Today we cleaned the area around the fire alarms which are just near the kitchen area so absorbs some grease etc. The cleaning wasn't tough as the angle worked wonders. The handle of he brush is sturdy to hold and fits easily for grip. I love using the Oates Light Duty Corner Scrub. Highly recommended.

  • The best

    The Oates Light Duty Corner Scrub is just the most amazing thing for me. It has made cleaning into a real easy task. The corner shape is a winner for me as I can use it to literally clean anything and everything. The brush itself is easy to clean and wash. So everytime we're done, I just give it a wash. Bathroom corners, blinds corner or even the wall and ceiling corners are easy to clean. Just Perfect.

  • Yesssssssss

    I used it in my shower today, oh it works! It gets the soap scum, the mould, and it doesn’t hold onto the hair in the shower (hello postpartum hair loss!) so it was really easy to rinse off. We have an inspection in a couple of days and will be tackling the corners of the rooms tomorrow because they are gross but I already know it will do the job as I need it too! Spring cleaning, in the literal sense never so damn good and EASY!

  • Easy peasy corner cleaner

    Still going strong with the corner cleaning abilities. This little scrubber works a treat on my tiles. You don't have to scrub hard to clean and if used with a spray it bubbles up nicely. I saw that it also comes in other strengths so I may try a stronger one for other cleaning around the house and garden.

  • Oakes Makes Light Work of Bathroom Cleaning

    Had the pleasure of testing our the Oates Light Duty Corner Scrub and was quite impressed. The scrubbing brush top, came to a point, which was great for getting right into corners. The handle was comfortable to hold. The light duty scour worked well to remove soap scum and even great to help scrub mould off.

    This is a great product to use in your bathroom, as you can use it on both tiles and glass.

    Would defiantly recommend buying this product from Oates.

  • Corner grime in the lime light

    So must say it's a neglected area of life, 2 teens a 4 year old and a labour husband leaves a stash of dust and grime that gets forgotten. The offending corner was put into the lime light after a flour incident drawing me down the depths of the kitchen corner near the tea and coffee making station. Swept up the mess, mopped the remaining but noticed a sinister dark spot learing at me. Bit of plain water and the muck just swept away from the corner no worries. Another swipe of the mop and evidence gone!

  • Makes cleaning the shower a breeze

    I use mine on the whole bathroom works great around the bath tub and the sink but most of all i use it on my shower to get into all of the corners especially where the walls meet the floor it gets right in along those edges. Great for simple, easy and thorough cleaning. Will definitely be buying this one again.

  • Cornered

    It was a bit of a relief to find something that could nudge into all of the nooks and crannies of the bathroom. We use it every few days and give the shower a good scrub through. It's made the process much more satisfying, for sure! It's convenient and easy to hang in the shower for future use as well.

  • Corner grime no more

    I love the oates range and I especially love the corner scrub.Getting into those pesky corners are no longer an issue with this amazing brush.This brush fits perfectly into the corners thanks to the angled tip making it easier to clean than a normal curved brush that to me never cleaned properly and had me going in with a kitchen sponge or wipe to clean those corners.This brush means only one wipe instead of two.Would definitely recommend.

  • Handle Grip

    I recently purchased this cleaning product for my mum as she has severe hand arthritis she is able to place her hand around the handle grip without it slipping off. She leaves it in the bathroom and can clean the shower screen so much easier than the old cloth. It removes scum and soap stains without her having to scrub.

  • Shaped right

    Seeing this in the shop when looking for something that would hopefully help me get the children's bathroom clean. Upon finding this decided to give it ago as it could not hurt.

    Was surprised that getting into the corners was so much easier then before. I was using an old toothbrush to do the corners, but now have something that can do the whole job. Have brought another one for our bathroom and the spare bathroom too.

  • A life changer

    Doing renovations in our bathroom, our shower and bath have been really yucky. I have tried cleaning numerous times and could never get it to come up looking clean. This brush has been a life changer as it gets into all the small spaces and corners. I will never use a different brush again. If your thinking of buying it, do it as you wont be disappointed.

    I am all for anything that makes cleaning quicker and easier, and the Oates Light Duty Corner Scrub did just that. It comes to a point at the front of the scrub which was great for cleaning in to the corners. The gentle scrub easily removed the build up of soap scum with very little effort. The ergonomic handle meant that my wrist didn't get sore. I am very happy with this product and world definitely recommend it. I will be replacing mine when it needs it. Cheers!

  • Handy little scrubber :)

    This is a great cleaning brush for the bathroom. We seem to end up with lots of soap scum on our shower recess, This corner scrub and a little bicarb soda and my shower was clean ! I tried it on the floor where the tiles meet the shower - it gets particularly grubby here. This scrubber did well at cleaning this space, because I could get all the way up to the edges of the corner.

How to choose the best lunch box for school

When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.

  • Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
  • Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
  • Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
  • Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
  • Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
  • The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

What to put in kids’ lunch boxes

Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:

  • Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
  • Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
  • Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
  • Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
  • Almond-meal slice with raspberries or blueberries – or both!
  • Vegetarian sausage rolls – these freeze well and make a great meat-free lunch when cold.

  • That lunchbox comparison table is handy to have. It helped me make a decision on which lunchbox to buy next for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I needed to upgrade her lunchbox but wasn’t sure which way to go. The table helped me with my decision. I ended up going with the BBOX and have found a cheaper lunch bag from a department store that it fits in.

  • I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.

  • Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.

  • Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.

  • Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.

  • I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.

  • So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.

  • There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.

  • There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain

  • This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.

  • Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.

  • This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones

  • Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.

    Reply

  • These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.

  • I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.

  • My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags

  • Love our bento b.boxes. So easy to pack. I do however worry that they’re made of plastic, not metal….

  • My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.

    Reply

  • Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.
