  • Wonder-ful all purpose cloth

    This cloth will replace the inferior cleaning cloths in my kitchen cupboard that fall apart after a few uses. It is so effective to use both wet and dry throughout the kitchen and bathrooms, from cleaning the bench down, soaking up a spill, to wiping the sinks and stove top. We are always wanting to make more eco friendly choices, using Oates Wonder Cloths I have no need for paper towels to clean kitchen mess. And I can throw them in the washing machine and have them good as new. I'm so impressed with the performance of these cloths, I highly recommend giving them a go.

  • A must have !

    You can use these wonder cloths for anything! You can use them to soak up any spill that the kids make and then throw it in the wash after they are super absorbent ! I used these to clean my guest bathroom! From top to bottom used the blue on the glass and mirrors the yellow on the sink , bench tops and cabinets and the pink on the shower and bath, made cleaning really easy and left all surfaces clean with no residue. The best part is when you are done you can just put them in the wash for the next room or spill to clean up .

  • These handy cloths are the spill solution with absorbency that puts tea towels and other products to shame!

    The Oates Wonder Cloths are the spill solution with absorbency that puts tea towels, paper towels and other products to shame!

    These cloths are versatile cleaning companions that tackle everything from kitchen spills to bathroom grime. They are designed to absorb liquid quickly and are durable enough to withstand multiple washes. Winning!

    Having trialled and tested the cloths, these are the 3 top things I've liked:

    1. Multi-purpose use: you can use these cloths in various areas of your home—from wiping down counters to polishing furniture—maximising their utility.

    2. Quick drying: After washing, hang them up to dry quickly. This prevents odours and keeps them ready for your next cleaning session. They are also super absorbent and amazing for spills!

    3. Combining with other products to make home-cleaning simpler: Pair these cloths with the Ezy Spray Mop for a comprehensive cleaning routine that covers both floors and surfaces efficiently.

  • Super Absorbent

    Oates Wonder Cloths are great for everyday cleaning, dusting, polishing & super absorbent for spills. Their anti-bacterial properties help to reduce odours building up in the cloths & the smaller size helps aid faster drying between uses. I love how you can use them wet or dry & just throw them in the washing machine when they need a good refresh. No more paper towels for me ????

    These come in 3 bright colours

    Super absorbent and easy to wash, a great alternative to the normal sponge and personally I prefer this to a sponge that just collects bacteria and grime or a chux that is just going to be thrown out after. Will buy these wipes again.

I really love that they can be washed in the machine, because it made them easy to reuse. The bright colours made it easier to keep track of what I was using them for too.

    This wonder is really a wonder

    It is so soft but picks up so much dust! My son uses this to clean his playstation as the sides gather dust and it keeps it nice and clean. Love that it is so soft so it will not scratch yoir delicate items. One of the best cleaning products in my opinion.

  • Oates Wonder Cloths are just ok

    I wasn’t too sure about these cloths. It might be just me but they felt super synthetic when taking them out of the pack. I washed them before using but they (especially the yellow) left fibers on all my other towels. And again on the second wash.

    I used one for dry dusting which was ok but I still needed to use product to get shelves clean. They did the job of a light dusting but didn’t hold the dust as well as I had hoped.

    After the second wash I noticed they had shrunk a little too.

    I won’t buy them again and I think I’ll only use them for grubbier jobs.

  • Great multi purpose cloth!!!

    I’ve never used these before but am very impressed! Used them on bathroom sink, laundry tub, dusting and washing dishes and found the laundry tub and dish washing the best. Hardly needed any water on the cloths to wipe over and got rid of all the scum. Was gentle on my dishes and didn’t leave particles which was great. Great multipurpose cloth.

Mother’s instinct is a funny thing. At home, we trust it without question. But put us in a hospital setting with an unwell child, surrounded by doctors, nurses and monitors, and suddenly we start doubting ourselves.

What if I’m overreacting?
What if I’ve got it wrong?

So we stay quiet, even when we know something just isn’t right with our child. I’ve been there myself – when my usually ‘tough’ son was doubled over with stomach pain. I was told in the emergency department that it probably wasn’t his appendix. But I knew he wouldn’t have begged me to take him to hospital unless it was serious. Because I know him better than anyone. Turns out, it was appendicitis.

It’s a really common place for parents to land. You’re grateful for the care your child is getting, but at the same time, you feel this huge responsibility to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.

Here’s the thing though: that instinct you’re feeling? It matters more than you might think.

Why your gut feeling matters more than you realise

According to Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital, Leticia Jackson, parents bring something to the hospital that no test or machine ever could.

“Parents often say they ‘just know’ when something isn’t quite right with their child, and in a hospital, that gut feeling is incredibly valuable,” she explains.

Leticia Jackson, Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital

While medical teams rely on observations, tests and equipment, parents know the little details. The way your child usually smiles. How they react when they’re tired. What’s normal for them.

So when something feels “off”, even if everything looks okay on paper, it can actually be an early warning sign.

“When parents trust those instincts and speak up, this creates a powerful partnership that can sometimes catch a problem before it becomes an emergency,” Leticia says.

Worried about speaking up? You’re not alone

A lot of parents hesitate about advocating for their child.

You don’t want to come across as difficult. You don’t want to question the people caring for your child. And sometimes, you just don’t feel confident enough to push the issue.

Leticia gets it.

“It is completely understandable for parents to feel hesitant,” she says. “No one wants to be seen as difficult or to second-guess the hardworking people caring for their child.”

But here’s a helpful way to look at it: you’re not challenging the medical team, you’re helping them.

Parents are the constant. Staff change shifts, care for multiple patients, and rely on snapshots of information. You’re there the whole time, noticing the subtle changes.

“Our medical team doesn’t view a concerned parent as overreactive, but as a partner,” Leticia explains. “Your voice matters.”

Remember, we know our children better than anyone.

What to do if you’re worried: the Raise It process

If you’re in a NSW public hospital or health service and you’re worried about you or your child’s condition getting worse, there is a clear process you can follow called Raise It.

Raise It is designed to help patients, carers and family members get help fast if they’re worried about a change in their loved one’s condition.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Talk: Start by speaking to a nurse, midwife, doctor or health worker about your concerns.
  2. Ask: Still worried? Ask to speak to the nurse or midwife in charge and request a Clinical Review.
  3. Call: If you’re still concerned, you can escalate further using the Raise It process to get urgent attention from a senior health worker.

You don’t need medical knowledge. You don’t need to be certain. If you feel something isn’t right, or your child is getting worse, Raise It. You just need to speak up.

What should you actually look out for?

Sometimes it’s not one big, obvious sign. It can be small, subtle changes that just don’t sit right.

Things like:

  • Changes in breathing (fast, laboured or noisy)
  • Skin looking pale, mottled, or developing unusual rashes
  • Your child being unusually drowsy, floppy, or hard to wake
  • Confusion or behaviour that’s out of character
  • Pain that isn’t improving with treatment
  • Or simply that feeling that your child is getting worse

And sometimes, it’s just that gut feeling you can’t explain.

That’s enough.

“You are helping us, not bothering us”

If there’s one message Leticia wants parents to take away, it’s that you aren’t bothering the medical team, you’re helping them.

“In my years as a Nurse Unit Manager, I can say with absolute certainty that many critical changes in a child’s condition have been identified first by a parent. While our clinical staff are highly skilled at performing regular observations and interpreting data, parents are the only constant presence who truly know their child’s baseline behaviour, personality, and what is normal for them.

“I have seen numerous instances where a parent’s insistence that their child is “just not themselves” – despite vital signs appearing relatively stable – has prompted a deeper clinical review that uncovered everything from early signs of sepsis to a life-threatening respiratory crisis.”

The Raise It process exists because healthcare teams know how important parents are in keeping children safe.

“Speaking up doesn’t mean you don’t trust the team,” she says. “It means you’re partnering with us to make sure nothing gets missed.”

And if you’re still worried about being judged?

“Whether your concern turns out to be something or nothing, your instinct to raise it is always valid.”

  • You should never second guess yourself when it comes to yours or your childs health- or anyones for that matter. Go with your thoughts. It is natural to want to protect a loved one especially when it comes to health situations, and the feeling you get when you think you didnt do enough to advocate or fight for them…it is not a kind or nice way to feel. Many people have ended up being heartbroken and picking up pieces for years because of feeling they didnt do enough.

    Reply

  • A very good and informative article. I have read so many stories about mums just knowing when things are not right and demanding second and third opinions until they got the right answer. Sometimes mums just know. It is our job as care takers of our families. Listen to your gut!

    Reply

  • Years ago, I spoke up for my 14-year-old daughter, but my concerns weren’t fully listened to. I’ve always wished I had pushed harder. She was sent home without much testing, and two days later, she passed away.
    So, if you ever have concerns—no matter how minor—please speak up and keep advocating. Trust your instincts; they are there for a reason.

    Reply

  • This is so important for parents to know how to raise it further if they don’t think their child is receiving the medical support they need! I know this article refers to the NSW system but other systems have similar procedures just with different names. I know in QLD it’s called Ryan’s Rule.

    Reply

  • It’s so important to follow your gut instincts and express your concerns indeed. I have never hesitated to advocate for my children in various situations and I don’t care what other people think about it. Not all doctors and medical staff appreciate it when you question them, I’ve experienced that it may result in angry indignant responses.

    Reply

  • How true this is! While nurses and doctors are the medical professionals doing their job on the daily, we know our children better than anyone and what is ‘normal’ for them. I would always speak up if I had noticed any changes in my child’s health and encourage other parents to do so too. No question is silly!

    Reply

  • This really is such an important issue and a good topic to discuss with people, I am often surprised that people are worried about being judged. This is not something I care about; the priority is for the care and health of everyone is my family. Parents know their children and need to work with health professionals for the best outcomes for their children.

    Reply

  • This is such an important issue to raise, and no one should ever feel ashamed, nervous or that they are being OTT for advocating for their kids, themselves or loves ones in hospital. In QLD we have Ryan’s Rule. A three step process where your concern will be escalated if they believe the patients condition isn’t improving or is worsening.

    Reply

  • I have never been afraid to advocate for my children and partner and extended family and also friends. It is so important to listen and to trust intuition. When people have not listened, I have persevered and kept on with insisting on care and making sure they truly listened and took action.
