  • Good sunblock.

    Over the Christmas holidays I have used this kids sun block. it seems to work well. the kids were in and out of the water too, and still they didn't get burnt. also, it seems to be gentle on skin. the children had no skin reactions while they were wearing this sun block.

  • One that works!

    Yay! After multiple "battles of the sun tan lotion" I have finally found one that works for Madam! Usually she hates the feel of it before it soaks in, and wants to wash it off straight away, and will cry when I say it has to stay on. This one she runs and gets the bottle herself, It soaked in quickly, and didn't leave a sticky residue. Very happy with Wollies.

  • Works a real treat

    Bought this because the packaging was bright and bold and it really stood out to me at the supermarket. It was very easy to use (as most sunscreens are) but it didn't leave an oily residue on my hands after putting it on my son. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.

  • Fabulous to use even my twins enjoy applying it on

    The sunscreen is not sticky nor smelly like some I have used. Easy to apply so even my 3 year olds can apply. Great bright yellow packaging to allow product to stand out when in my hand bag. Love this and would definitely buy again as my kids really love to protect their skin from " spots " coz I have freckles and my son always tells me I have spots mum!

  • Great product, great price!

    This is our main sunscreen after I saw on a comparison segment on one of the current affairs programs that it rated highly. It rubs in quickly without a greasy residue and I find the older kids can put it on themselves and get a good coverage easily.

    They are happy to use it because it's so easy and doesn't have an unpleasant smell like a lot of sunscreens.

  • NO BURNS

    We recently went on holidays to QLD, i had purchased a tube of this to take with. I used this on my family and myself everyday and had no reactions it didnt feel greasy like some do and most importantly we didnt get burnt once. This isnt as expensive as other brands but it does the job just as well. I will continue to buy this from now on

  • Great product at a reasonable price

    Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30+ is a great sunscreen for the kids. My kids love that when it comes out of the tube its purple, but once it rubs into the skin it disappears with no colour (although some times I think they wish they could draw purple streaks over each other)

    It is water resistant which is really important with kids and I have had no skin irritation with my children. We keep a tube in each car and the house to make sure we have it at all times.

    Will buy and use again.

  • Used it over summer!

    Over summer we used Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen SPF30+. I found it to be a good product, similar to most other sunscreens at there.

    The kids loved using it, I think mainly because it goes on purple.

    The price of Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen SPF30+ is fairly comparable to other sunscreens however, I wouldnt call it super cheap.

    The bright orange packaging is good, making it easier to find amongst all my bits and pieces and it also demands attention making you remember to apply it!

    All in all, Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen SPF30+ fills it job as a sunscreen.

Great for sensitive skin and also good for when out and about whether its in the sun or the shade its always good to have on for protection.

  • does its job

    like most mums out there, i tend to test most products that i use on my children on myself as well. i am one of those unlucky (or lucky depending which way you look at it) people with porcelain while skin and i will burn through pretty much most sunscreens on the market. my best tool is just to avoid the sun altogether. i must say after using this product due to my skin (and my first born looking to be in the same boat as i am) i was relatively impressed. it actually seemed to do a far better job than some of the more expensive brands i have used. while i still needed more regular applications than most (thats never going to change), it was the first brand i have used in a while where i did not receive a burn after sun exposure (i tested it a few more times and was sill fine). due to this it is the product i currently use for both me and my children. it is rather competitive on price, doesn't have an unpleasant smell and is non-greasy. i would recommend any mums looking for a cheaper alternative that can still do the job to give this a try and see for themselves

  • Great for taking to the beach!

    I always love making sure my kids are lathered up when having fun in the sun. Great for when at the beach, sand doesn't stick to their arms when just lathered the sunscreen on. Its a good cream to keep my kids fairly safe from the sun and I love the fact that it rubs on easily and kids enjoy watching the "purple" sunscreen disappear.

  • not really impressed

    tried this when the normal sunscreen I buy was not available, it was not cheap as if I could have got my normal one it was on special and therefore cheaper than this homebrand product, I did not find it as effective as other sunscreens I use, it did not seem to last as long, the kids did end up a little pink with less exposure, I thought it was sticky and took longer to rub in and did not seem to absorb into the skin as others did, I think it probably does the job but other products that are branded in my opinion seem to be better.

  • Happy to Use Again!

    Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen SPF30+ is pretty much like other sunscreens. We used the roll on and it was very easy to apply. It's a little greasy but, that's standard, I'm yet to try a sunscreen isn't. When in and out of the water, it last for about 2-3 hours, before it needs reapplying. I'm happy to use again.

  • Easy to use

    I found Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen SPF30+ to be very easy to use. The kids loved the funky purple colour and were happy to slather it all over themselves. Like most sunscreens, it's a little bit greasy but, that's fairly normal. I quite like the bright orange packaging of Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen and it's reasonably priced.

  • Great sunscreen, great price, works well for kids out in the sun

    I used the select kids sunscreen on my daughter when we went to the beach and for once she didn't get sunburnt even though we went into the water and she has fair skin.

    I love how it comes out purple when I apply it so then I know I haven't missed anywhere, and that's it water resistant.

    I also like the price too, because ive paid a lot of money for a different bottle of sunscreen in the past and my daughter still got sunburnt.

    I would recommend this sunscreen for mum who love spending time with their kids in the Sun and the outdoors but don't want to risk them getting sunburnt.

  • A gift that keeps giving

    Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen SPF30+ was a gift for my son as a beach set with towel, swimmers and the sunscreen from his grandparents. It delivers by protecting my son from the harsh rays of the Gold Coast. I am not sure the price of the item but it is really good quality and I apply to my son everyday and it works.

  • Easy to use!

    My Mr6 is fussy when it comes to sunscreen. I bought some of this particular one for his swimming lessons toward the end of school. I got no complaints of it from him, and even though he would come home smelling a little of sunscreen, it wasn't as potent as others as well as I could hold his hands without them slipping out out of mine! Great stuff!!

  • Goes on purple

    Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen SPF30 is just like most sunscreens. A little greasy, like most, offering protection for around 2-3 hours. The best thing about this product is that is goes on purple, so you can see where the sunscreen has been applied. It's reasonably priced when compare with similar products.

  • Priced to sell sunscreen but poor quality

    I keep sunscreen in the house for anyone, we have a pool so many times people with kids are here and no sunscreen!!, I thought that this would be an economical way of providing a sunscreen for visitors as I have my favourites, however I found it hard to rub in, might as well have covered them with zinc cream, I did not like the smell, and it did not seem to last very long, as in less than an hour, I was very disappointed as most select products that I have used have been of good quality, I certainly would not buy this again and would not recommend it for anyone, especially children who need to be protected, and realistically the price whilst cheaper is probably not cheap enough to counter the poor quality.

  • Good value sunscreen

    As a ranga with fair skinned babes, good sunscreen is important.

    I really like that this stuff goes on purple. It's hard to tell where you are up to when applying on a wriggling toddler.

    I found it is a little greasy though (as are most sunscreens).

    Good size tube to throw in the nappy bag.

  • Pretty impressed

    My daughter had a sun cream allergy when she was younger so I have to be very careful what we use so when we went over to a family members house and forgot the sun cream understandably I was hesitant to use this brand.but after I was happy with a patch test I used it all over her and no reaction!this is one of the few she doesn't have a reaction to so I'm happy!a but pricy but I don't mind.

Mopping isn’t exactly the chore most of us look forward to, but like most mums, for Katrina Macilroy, it’s unavoidable.

With three teenagers, a husband, a dog, two cats and timber flooring throughout most of her home, there’s plenty to keep her mop busy.

“I thought the toddler stage was hard, but teenagers take it to a whole other level,” Katrina told Mouths of Mums.

She describes herself as a ‘full-time Uber driver’ for her three kids, but when she’s home, she may as well be a full-time cleaner.

Her husband is a concreter, the family has plenty of sand coming inside and, with teenagers touching everything, the floors quickly show the evidence of a full family life.

“I have to mop like every second day because the floor gets marks,” she said.

So when Katrina was given the chance to try the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, she was keen to see whether it could actually make one of her least favourite cleaning tasks any easier.

“I didn’t have high hopes for it to start with, because I’ve used spin mops before and I’d been disappointed,” she admitted.

But it didn’t take long for her to change her mind. One of the first things Katrina noticed was just how easy the mop was to use.

The foot pedal made wringing the mop quick and simple, without having to stop and fiddle with anything.

“It was so easy to spin it,” she says. “It wasn’t like you’re spinning it for hours or anything.”

She was also impressed by how quickly the mop itself could be put together, and the simple button that releases the mop head for washing.

“That simple press notion, everyone can do that. So I love that.”

It’s The Little Things That Add Up

For Katrina, who regularly finds herself cleaning up after a busy family, these little details made a surprisingly big difference. She also loved the triangular mop head, particularly when it came to getting into the corners and edges that her previous mop struggled with.

“The triangle design makes it easy to get into all the little corners,” she says.

But ultimately, the big question was whether it actually cleaned her floors. Katrina’s answer was an enthusiastic yes.

“My floor has never been so clean,” she says.

Katrina was also surprised by how light and manoeuvrable the mop felt, because at just 4’11”, she says mopping can sometimes be an uncomfortable job.

“I’m not a tall person, so trying to mop is always just a horrible experience.”

But she found the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set easy to move around and able to go in different directions without feeling heavy or awkward.

And it wasn’t just the mop itself that won Katrina over. She says the bucket design solved one of her biggest mopping frustrations: accidentally tipping the bucket over.

With timber floors, getting too much water onto the floor is something she tries hard to avoid. “The amount of mop buckets I’ve tipped over and just gone everywhere,” she says.

That can turn a simple cleaning job into another mess to deal with, particularly when you’re suddenly scrambling for towels and a dry mop head.

But Katrina says the Vileda bucket feels much more stable because of its design.

And for someone who mops as often as she does, she says that has saved her time. “This thing has saved me so much time, I can’t get over it.”

The Only Mop You’ll Need

Katrina also admits that she’d previously convinced herself she needed a steam mop. She even bought one, only to discover that plugging it in every time she wanted to clean wasn’t exactly appealing.

“You have to plug it in like a vacuum. Like, that’s not fun, I don’t want to do that.”

After trying the Vileda, she says she’s no longer convinced she needs one.

“Why do you need a steam mop when you can get this one?”

For Katrina, the combination of being lightweight, easy to wring, simple to manoeuvre and able to get into those awkward corners has made mopping feel much less frustrating. And despite going into the trial with low expectations, she’s now very happy to recommend it.

“I’m not trying to sell you a product, but I’m just saying that I’m very impressed with it. It’s really good.”

Her final verdict?

“It’s been really, really good. Recommend!”

This Real Story was provided as part of a paid sponsorship opportunity. Katrina was chosen to share her story because she was sent out and tried the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, and genuinely loved it! And Vileda is so confident they’ve made the best spin mop ever, they’re backing the new & improved Easy Wring & Clean TURBO with a 5 Year Guarantee. 

  • This mop so good and the views all are positive so I just purchased one on milkrun through Woolworths and it come with 2 mop head refills. Can’t wait to use it.

    Reply

  • Yes, I couldn’t agree more. The Vileda spin mop is by far my favourite mop for a good thorough clean at home. I even got the landlords to purchase one for the holiday house I clean to make cleaning a breeze and get the job done properly. I always grab a spare when they’re out for half price.

  • Ah, I received a ‘you’re a finalist’ email from MoM for this fantastic mop but didn’t receive anything beyond that. I was looking forward to giving this a try to compare the three existing options I have but alas. Looks good, fingers crossed I can try it in the near future!

    Reply

  • Omg! Yes! With 4 dogs and 4 teens AND the guests they bring home with them LOL our timber floors and tiles don’t stand a chance! I would love to see them add some wheels to the bottom of the bucket so that you don’t have to carry the bucket around with you.

    Reply

  • I feel like I really need to try out this mop now!!

    Reply

  • This sounds like an excellent mop that makes cleaning so easy! I love a product that not only is as effective as advertised but makes a job less grueling. I gotta say though, a steam mop that plugs in sounds like an awful idea. I have a tineco floor mop, which is cordless and charges at a base, and it’s incredible on my white tiles.
