Life as a family is a whirlwind. Right? And in the fun, rough and tumble, it’s inevitable that things will get a little messy from time to time.

From the crayon on the walls, grime on the grout, fingerpaint on the benchtops to fur on the couch – it’s like a cleaning merry go round we can’t get off! And like riding that horse on the merry-go-round, you’ve got two choices – clench tight and wish it would end or throw your head back and laugh.

This year we partnered with the team from Oates. We shared hundreds of truly awesome Oates cleaning products with MoM Members from all over Australia and encouraged them to #LaughAtTheMess.

Each MoM Members received 7 different products as part of the #LaughAtTheMess Oates Cleaning Kit Review – all available from all major grocery and hardware retailers. Proudly Australian, there’s a large range of Oates cleaning products with quality and prices that make light work of even the biggest mess.

Once MoM Members tried the Oates cleaning products, they posted reviews on site and shared their experience across Instagram using the hashtag #LaughAtTheMess. The results are in and overwhelmingly Oates is now a massive fave in hundreds of MoM homes everywhere.

Mums are kicking back knowing that any mess, no matter how big or small, can be handled in a snap with a product from the Oates cleaning range. Let’s see what they had to say …

Got a thousand little fingerprints on your glass doors and windows? Never again with the Oates Complete Window Washer.  Add your cleaning fluid of choice to the handle, spray and wipe clean.  Apparently kids everywhere are loving this over all their toys

“Love love love this window cleaner! So easy to use and so convenient having the spray cleaner and squeegee all in one. Seriously awesome product and a bonus the kids love using it too.” Kylie_Robertson.

“… it’s been constantly in Lexi’s hands. Took her about a minute to figure out how to spray and wipe. I love you can put in the window cleaner and is has the wipe and dry part all in one. Makes it easy to move around and use.” Natalie Loch.

Melissa from @ourlensinfocus put her little guy on the job too. We are IN LOVE with these pics!

The Oates Triple Action Flat Mop amazed every Mum.  Suddenly we had Mums mopping everyday that hated it before!

“This is so easy to use when I want a quick sweep through and don’t have to worry bringing out the vacuum cleaner. My hubby’s a cleaner and he ended up buying another one to have for his work. Highly recommended this product and it’s fast and easy to use. With with my boys’ constant mess it helps cut down the time.” Amanda

“The triple action mop is great! I have tried many many mops over the years and I love that it comes with the drying cloth for a streak free finish. And that my 2 boys can also help with the adjustable handle” – Kylea

Each different cloth was colour coded and labeled with their own purpose. The stainless steel cloth worked wonders on my oven and range hood .

Fear not- grab the trusty Oates Grout Brush (long handle which means less bending too) and give a quick scrub a dub. “This brush is great for hard to reach places. A great hard bristle brush with a grippy handle makes cleaning grout super easy.” – lilandalexandersmum “This little brush is amazing not only did it do a fantastic job on the grout it worked wonders on the window and door tracks.” – kylie robertson Read other reviews for the Oates Grout Brush >>  Well it seems that not all scourers are made equal! The Oates Anti-Bacterial Sponge Scourer gets stuck in with no scratching so you can go crazy with it.  Awesome lasting power too – just rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat! “I tried this sponge out on my pots and pans after dinner. I had tried my normal sponge scourer and when it just wasn’t doing the job I gave the oats sponge scourer a go and it was super easy. It got the baked on grease off the pans and left no scratches.” – mom187670 Jodie from @a.handful.of.love got her teenage daughter on the job.  We love her classic look!

What’s not to love about the Oates General Scrub Brush? Stiff, durable bristles, perfect indoors and out and an easy grasp handle.  We’re in (and so are the Mums who trialled)!

“This is good general scrub brush. It worked well at cleaning my shower floor. The bristles are stiff yet durable to use. The handle is a good fit for your hands. It can be used indoors or outdoors. It gives a good clean and is easy to hold and use. I like the color of the brush also attractive.” – rainforest

A huge thanks to the team at Oates Cleaning for sharing so many wonderful products with us all to trial and review. And for teaching us to #LaughAtTheMess
