Welcome to the Oates Space Save Dustpan Set Review!

Whether you’re a mum to an adorable little fur baby or gorgeous human baby, we all know that life can get a little messy.

That’s why we’re so excited to bring you the Oates Space Saver Dustpan Set review, because whatever mess you’ve got – big or small – clean up is easy with Oates!

Whatever way you look at it, life gets messy and rather than stress, Oates wants you to look for fun and laugh at the mess (#LaughAtTheMess) … the Oates Space Saver Dustpan can help with the little messes around your home so it’s clean and tidy … even if only for an hour.

What’s great is that the Oates Space Saver Dustpan set has a larger size pan than most dustpans. It also has side ridges to conveniently and effectively clean the brush and remove hair (there’s nothing worse than an old dustpan full of hair and fuzz … we’ve all been there).

The Oates Space Saver Dustpan Set brush features an in-built rubber blade and flagged bristles for optimal cleaning. The electrostatic properties of the rubber edges attract and trap more dust and fine particles. The dustpan also has a unique freestanding design that saves cupboard space and keeps storage neat and tidy.

The Oates Space Saver Dustpan Set has lots of great features, including:

  • A freestanding design that saves cupboard space
  • An in-built rubber blade in the brush and flagged bristles for optimal cleaning
  • A larger size pan with side ridges to effectively clean the brush and remove hair
  • And electrostatic properties in its rubber edges to attract and trap more dust and fine particles

Where can I buy the Oates Space Saver Dustpan Set?

The Oates Space Saver Dustpan set is available at Bunnings Warehouse.

  • Glitter cleaner

    Yes this Oates spacesaver dustpan totally works. The Oates Space Saver Dustpan is great for sweeping up small messes and I literally just cleaned up glitter on my floor using this dustpan. The front strip is still glittering but it did help with picking up most of the glitter off the floor. Yep I will be buying this again.

  • So good

    The Oates Space Saver Dustpan is such a great cleaning tool. It is easy to store and so very easy to use. The quality of the rubber strip is so good. It helps with pickup of dust right into the pan in one stroke. I am super happy with it. I do know it’s on the expensive side as compared to the $1 dustpans, but this is like a one time investment. It is great quality, thick and durable. Highly recommended. Go for it.

  • best one ive tried

    This Oates dustpan is seriously the best one I have tried. The strip at the bottom actually gets the dirt into the dustpan instead of underneath it. It makes it so much easier to sweep up dirt. Being an Oates brand you also know its great quality and wont break within the first couple of uses. I will never buy any other dust pan again.

  • It does what I need it to do

    I don’t often use dustpans, I am more of a mop and vacuum cleaner girl however it has really helped when I can’t just vacuum a mess or if the kids have spilt something I don’t want to damage the vacuum with.
    It’s sturdy and durable and you can even use it when all of the kids are in bed without the risk of waking the little tornadoes

  • Great, even the kids can use it

    Yes I love this dustpan and so does my son. It’s great that he actually gets excited to clean up the mess he has made. It’s chunky enough for him to use but not too heavy that he can’t hold. I’d recommend this to any parent who wants to clean quickly and efficiently. It has a nice fit against the floor and captures all the crumbs easily.

  • So impressive!! Worth the money!

    I have only ever owned a $1 cheap dustpan and broom set because I figured they were all the same but wow I was wrong!
    I was so impressed by this, dare I say I actually had fun sweeping with it!
    It’s solid and sturdy, and the dustpan stops dirt from being swept underneath it.
    It has a section where you can clean the broom and it has a rubber piece in the middle of the bristles which helps trap the dirt too.
    The kids loved having a turn with it too.

  • Easy to store!

    Living in a place with limited storage, this little gem fits perfectly in our household! The freestanding design makes it easy to store away. Its great quality and the pan itself is sturdy and with the high edges, debris stay inside the pan easily .
    Great product and I think all households should own one! Hands down the most practical dustpan I’ve come across. Easy for littlest hands to help out too 🙂

    WOW… This Oates Space Saver Dustpan is really great. I do like the feature of it being able to stand upright by itself. Great for small spaces. The high edges of the pan allows you to sweep and carry more stuff, without it falling out.
    The rubber edge works so much better then my current hard plastic pan, with getting the ALL the small dirt into the pan with ease.
    Overall a great product. Makes cleaning floors more enjoyable, if I do say so myself. Would recommend getting this to anyone looking for a Dustpan Set.

  • Love it will be buying another.

    We LOVE the Oats Space Saver Dustpan we have been through a lot of cheaper dust pans over the years that never last or keep the dust and dirt in the pan. We love how that it isn’t made from the weaker plastics the snap easily and how it has a deeper pan. We will be recommending this dustpan to all of our friends and family.

  • Dustpan space saver that keeps what it sweeps

    We have all had those dustpans that never seem to pick up every little piece of dirt off the floor, after trying to sweep it up continuously but don’t have the time to battle your dustpan so you try to pick up all the little pieces with your hands, this becomes hazardous when it is required to pick up items such as broken glass, etc. Well not any more, I found a savior in the Oates Space Saver Dustpan, after an incredible sweep with the triple action flat mop, I was able to pick up everything off the tiles with this dustpan, there was not a single piece of mess left. the deep sides of the dustpan ensure the mess will not fall out and the bristle of the brush are firm yet flexible enough to ensure the capture of even the smallest dust bunny. I have since thrown out my old unbranded dustpan and use the Oates Space Saver Dustpan. For its efficiency, easy grip and great value, I recommend this product to others as well as the greatest possibly to repurchase this item.

  • Kiddo helps

    Because we’ve been home schooling my son, it gets really silly sometimes trying to choose what else can he do. So I came up with this imaginary play and asked him if he’d like to help an old lady… Lol he said yes and there U go. He literally cleaned up the whole balcony using this amazing Oates spacesaver dustpan. He had so much fun. I guess I’ve got help now. Love it

    Yes so I would recommend the Oates space saver dust pan to others and have already done it to my friends and family members here. Special note to how easy it is to use. The design and the front strip seem perfect for me as I don’t have strain too hard to get the cleaning done on the floor. I happily use my Oates spacesaver dustpan and never get tired of it. Highly recommended for a great quality. A bit expensive but nice.

    The Oates spacesaver dustpan is lovely. I have 3 at home. One for the floor, one for the kitchen bench and one for everything else.
    It is sturdy and durable. you can even use it for all those little wall skirtings. It does a great job picking up crap from the sides. It is my go to for any kind of cleaning. The front strip is just awesome. Does a great job.

  • The bees knees of dustpan and brushes

    We’ve been using this dust pan and brush for a while now and still love it as much as when I first used it. Grips nicely to the floor so you don’t lose any dirt under the pan. Also the brush has a plastic blade which helps to push the dirt into the pan. Easy to clean hair off the brush with the teeth on the dustpan too. Would highly recommend.

  • Handy sweeper

    This dustpan did what it promised to do. It picked up the dirt of my floor. When I saw dust bunnies had collected on the brush’s bristles, I was able to remove them easily by running the brush over the bumpy edge of the dust pan. The rubber blade made sure that no dirt escaped under the dust pan. I like that the brush handle fits snuggly into the dustpan handle. This is a handy and effective dustpan and brush 🙂

  • I wish I had one sooner!

    I absolutely love the Oates space saver dustpan set! I use it all the time and find it to be so useful, super easy to use and it also holds a lot of volume which is great and means less trips to the bin. With a toddler, a 9 year old and a cat I’m constantly cleaning up messes but having this dustpan means less times using the vacuum as this is simply for cleaning up small messes. I also have a cheap $2 dustpan which I find doesn’t pick up all of the mess on the floor and gets stuck on the edges of the rim, with the Oates space saver I haven’t had that issue and find it to be extremely effective!

  • Quidditch Oates Golden Snitch

    After flick and swish with my Oates mop, I needed to follow through with my Space Saver Dustpan Golden Snitch. The dust really collects in the Castle. Especially with 7 Gryffindor’s in the house.
    Dustpan was easy to use and empty. Even the youngest wizards can use it. It’s now hiding away until next Quidditch Game

  • It has teeth!

    My initial reaction, OH MY GOODNESS it has teeth! I’m pretty sure I went to housewife heaven the moment I saw this. Let’s face it, I am a mum but I definitely don’t have the strongest stomach so touching things like built up dust or dirt on my brushes just isn’t up there with my favourite things to do. The fact I don’t need to touch that stuff anymore, it’s like Christmas has come early!!!

    At first I was a bit unsure if this was going to be worth its price however after using it a few times I definitely believe it’s a good purchase. I love it’s freestanding design – makes for easy storage. I love the wide pan and the high quality materials used to make both the pan and the brush. It’s great for cleaning quick messes up (which is all the time with a baby ????) and I use this product multiple times a day and love it!

  • How did I not know about the pan sooner?!

    This dust pan is the best of the best. I’m forever cleaning food crumbs off the floor, this pan picks all of the crumbs up in one go unlike other ones I’ve used. I like that the brush has rubber in the middle making it easier to pick the dirt up. Also like that the pan is wider aswell.

  • A must have!

    Every house needs a dustpan. I used to think the vacuum cleaner could suck everything up – but it can’t. Not so those bits of food that your baby or toddler throws on the floor. Which is where the dustpan comes in. It’s easy to grab and sweep up all those messes. The Oates dustpan is easy to hang in the broom closet and the ridges on the side are great to clean the bristles out of anything that gets stuck.

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.

  • My biggest tip is to be very clear who’s watching the kids, especially when they’re in the water. Like, actually verbally hand over and make sure it’s acknowledged if you’re going somewhere (like to the bathroom). That can definitely save lives, but also save panics about lost kids in crowded spaces.

  • Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
