Shower cleaning tools + Dettol Power and Pure Giveaway

Category: Cleaning

This post is sponsored by Nuffnang and Dettol

One of the tasks in the ’20 Day’s to organise and clean your home’ challenge was to clean your bathroom.  I showed you my shower caddy, which is really helpful to quickly grab and give the shower a good clean.  I was pleased to see so many of you loved this idea!

In my caddy I keep Dettol Power & Pure Bathroom spray, a cloth for cleaning the shower screens and a scrubbing brush.  

I take the caddy into the shower with me once a week.  It usually get’s wet in the process of me cleaning the shower, however it’s a peg basket so the water drains out easily.  I leave the caddy in the shower until it’s dried and then put it back into the laundry for next time.  If I had enough room under our bathroom sink this would be the perfect place to keep it.  

During the challenge I was asked about the scrubbing brush and many people also thanked me for the idea of using a toothbrush to get into hard to reach and stubborn areas.  Here are a few suggestions on items that can be used with your bathroom spray cleaner.

  • Rag
  • Sponge
  • Kitchen scrubbing brush
  • Scourer (not the green variety as you don’t want your grout to turn green)
  • Old toothbrush
  • Scrubbing brush
 
 
Spray the Dettol Power and Pure Bathroom spray onto the stubborn area, leave for a few minutes.  Using one of the ‘tools’ above give it a good scrub to remove build up. 

The New Dettol Power & Pure harnesses the power of its active oxygen formula to penetrate and dissolve tough grease and soap scum while the active ingredient breaks down into water and oxygen, leaving no harsh chemical residue behind and as it is from Dettol you can trust it kills 99.9%* of germs.  *Such as Salmonella.

The new Dettol Power & Pure range  is available in two formats, a Multipurpose Spray for Kitchen messes with an Oxygen Splash fragrance, and a Bathroom spray, ideal for removing tough soap scum. Available in Fresh Mountain Spring Fragrance.

    I really like the non scratch scrubber from woolies that has a handle on it for cleaning the shower. Easier to scrub with. I think it’s oasis brand.

    thanks , great giveaway :)

  • Hanny

    Need something like this that works.. thanks for chance to win..

    I use the dustpan broom. The handle makes it really easy to use and the soft bristles cover heaps of area but don’t scratch (I use on screen as well) and also get into cracks and runners etc. Not great for scrubbing stains etc but perfect for maintaining.

      I have a broom just for the bathroom.

  • Mary Preston

    My bathroom desperately need this.

    just wanted to say a huge thanks for introducing me to power and pure. i was really tired of that cheap lavender smell of many cleaning products, and the latest trend of orange scent is awful imo. anyway, i’m doing the 20 day challenge again in october because it worked so well for me, but the mountain was too tall last month for me to conquer… thanks again.

    Hi Katrina! Would LOVE to know WHERE you got the peg basket from! :) It is soooo cute! :) Ta!

  • Suzanne Alters

    The room in my house that need the most help from Dettol Power and Pure is my bathroom. We have recently installed new Lami panel in our shower and Dettol Power and Pure will help to keep it looking its best. It will also help around the basin with all the dirt and dust that gets blown onto it from the open window above :)
    I am loving the idea of the peg basket you use to keep you bathroom cleaning products in. It is deffinately going on my list of things to improve.
    Thank you for all of the inspiration :)

    My laundry toilet. I have 5 little boys that use that toilet, and I am constantly cleaning it lol!! I would feel much better if I knew all of the germs were gone – and there was no residue left on the seat to irritate little bottoms :)

    My bathroom needs the most help. I hate cleaning the shower especially.

  • Kelly Walter

    I would have to say my bathroom needs a bit of help. especially the tiles. i find it so hard to scrub the tiles. and have tried so many products and have not found one yet that has done its job and have left the tiles sparkling clean. I know Dettol is great so id love to win this!

  • Kate Ryan

    It’s always the bathroom that needs the most help, because I hate cleaning it the most, and thus avoid it! Not to mention that our shower seems especially prone to mould, and has lots of little nooks and crannies that make it difficult to get rid of. :S

  • Megs

    My laundry is in dire need of a “clean sweep” using these fantastic Dettol products. Its a room that serves many purposes in our family of six – laundry, storage of sports gear, linen, pet supplies, fridge (extra food from my bulk fortnightly shop) and shoes. Its also the area least likely to be cleaned, as we all know, time is short and it always seems to be left to “another day”.

    Hi Kat, I really NEED to know where you found your peg basket. I am having dreams about it. MUST HAVE TWO!! Cheers Liz

    My Bathroom. Other half doesnt like to use body wash so Im forever scrubbing away soap scum.

  • neen

    Showers – yuk! they do say that the cleaner we get the dirtier the shower gets. I don’t know about teenage boys, but 2 teenage girls with all their assorted lotions and potions and hair colours and ‘stuff’ are making their shower look like its never been cleaned, eeuuww! The usual bleach based cleaners don’t really do the job and they are the fumes are enough to make you sick. Would love to try the new Dettol Power cleaners…..

  • http://www.facebook.com/Tiggles13 Tegan Kirk

    My shower needs a lot of TLC. I have an 8 month old who does not allow me much time to clean the bathroom. Would love to use a product that actually does what it says it will! I

  • Rach P

    Love your tips and organisational skills, they are starting to rub off on to me…thanks

  • Meg

    3 kids, never ending cleaning. Never tried this stuff before but would love to give it a shot.

  • Tammie

    My toilet!!! With four kids its always needing cleaning. :0)

  • Paula

    Definately the bathrooms, with 3 children who love to play outside a lot in bring in all sorts of dirt with them, the bathroom is constantly grotty and I am forever wiping down after them. Anything that reduces the germs left is a godsend to me.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=663416144 Megan Vuzem

    my bathroom and kitchen need it the most cos with three kids they never stay clean

  • http://www.facebook.com/traceycrosby Tracey Crosby

    With 6 of us in the house, the bathrooms don’t stay clean long. I definitely need Dettol power to wash away the dirt!

  • Carolyn

    I’m forever cleaning the bathrooms so anything that can help would be great!

  • http://www.facebook.com/ariana.walkom Ariana Walkom

    My bathroom grout definitely could use some help from the Dettol pack! The sink and vanity would benefit too :)

  • http://www.facebook.com/ruth.rundle.3 Ruth Rundle

    We have 3 bathrooms in our house, so any cleaning tips to keep on top of the mess are always handy!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1041244392 Sarah Sims

    I cringe when my children (5,4,2, and 1) touch the tiles in our shower. I’ve also got babes with very irritated skin, so anything that doesn’t leave a residue gets a big fat smiley face!

  • http://www.facebook.com/chell.gray.1 Michelle Gray

    At the moment, my toilet, my 2 year old is toilet training!!!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/kasia.woodman Kasia Woodman

    The kids bathroom needs the most help!! It seems a never ending chore cleaning up after them.

  • Teneale

    The ensuite needs some love and attention – it often gets left out as it doesn’t have to be “guest ready” :)

  • Melissa H

    My ensuite needs lots of love and attention cause it gets missed when I run out of time cause I’m the only one who uses it. Also have a toddler and he will offen turn while peeing :) thats a fun clean up :)

  • http://twitter.com/hootylishous melanie whittle

    The childrens toilet not because of the children the cat likes to pee in there!

  • Rachel K

    Thanks so much for the new information. I have never heard of Dettol Power and Pure before. I suffer from a bad back and the shower is always the worst job for me. It is never 100% clean and shiny like yours has turned out. Off to buy some in the morning!

  • Sharon du Toit

    As a full time working mum life is hectic to say the least but I try to keep up with all the jobs around the house because it’s the best feeling when the house is clean and organised. HOWEVER, having said that, I have to confess that the ensuite has been ignored a lot lately ???? so I desperately need the Dettol products ASAP! I’m also going to buy a little cleaning caddy. What a great idea ????

  • http://www.facebook.com/brie.loveday Brie Loveday

    The bathroom definately need help. 1 bathroom between 2 adults and 3 kids and another on the way….that bathroom needs all the help it can get!
