With the onset of autumn, sunny and warm days that allow you to open up doors and windows to keep the home fresh start to dwindle. Wet and colder weather brings dampness, rain-soaked pets, muddy sports uniforms, and dirty work gear – and the odours that come with them! Luckily, Dettol are here to help with their ultimate in germ-busting freshness!

Fast and effective, Dettol Glen 20 Disinfectant Spray is easy to use and cares for your family by killing 99.9% of germs* and viruses** on hard and soft surfaces that you come in contact with every day, such as door handles, bins and toilet areas. It also eliminates odour-causing bacteria, leaving your home smelling wonderfully fresh.

Dettol Glen 20 is fast, easy to use and effective at:

  • Killing 99.9% of germs and viruses on hard and soft surfaces.
  • Killing the source of mould allergens and controlling the growth of mould and mildew on hard surfaces.
  • Eliminating odour causing bacteria to leave your home smelling fresh and clean. Dettol Glen 20 “gets to the source” of the odour without heavy perfume and eliminates damp musty odours in areas where air does not circulate. Ordinary non-germicidal sprays can’t do this.

    I was so lucky to receive this!!

    Great things about Glen20

    – Its hospital grade and aerosol, so no wet hands!!! ( no stinky cloths )

    – its really handy for highly communal places door handles etc.. draw handles.. toilet cistern and all over.

    – smells great!

    – you only need a small dpray to fragrance the whole room

    downfall…

    can needs to be bigger same size as the large mortein cans as i can see me going through one of these each week

    I was lucky enough to receive the crisp linen spray the week I came home with my newborn baby. I’m not a big fan of cleaning and with even less time to clean now I would highly recommend. The smell is amazing and I have used it on the dogs bed that is inside the house. I have also used it as a disenfectant for surfaces in the kitchen and even baby’s change table , so easy to use and even easy to do when you only have one hand free!

  3. briannaasplin 16/04/2018 at 9:10 am

    I received the clean linen spray and I LOVE that scent! I have been spraying my rubbish bin with it and the smell lingers for a good day – awesome! I would definitely recommend this product for such places that may get a little smelly inside the home and also coming into winter, keeping surfaces/furniture around the home sprayed to kill the germs around. Especially when sick! It would be great to use.

  4. Nicsters 16/04/2018 at 8:48 am

    This spray is amazing! The smell is so lovely and fresh. The smell lasts a while too which is lovely. It really worked a treat in our wheelie bins. Also sprayed in the kitchen, bathroom, toilet, stair rails and door handles. My house smells so clean! The can looks cool and fresh, it is easy to use with no lid to remove all you need to do is spray, very cool. We will be purchasing this in the future as this is a great product with great results. Thank you for choosing our family to trial this.

    Dettol Glen 20 Disinfectant Spray a family must have in the home, firstly being from Dettol you know it will be safe, reliable and effective and DG20 does exactly as you’d hope. We as a family have already been advocates for and use it daily in so many ways, keeping the rubbish bin smelling good, we spray into the kitchen sink and waste disposal and along with all kitchen surfaces to prevent bugs and such transferring with the family. Likewise DG20 is used in all our toilets, we encourage our sons to spray the air and seats to help keep things fresh and safe. School and work shoes get the DG20 spray as well, we have found the shoes don’t become smelly or yuck so well worth using i tell you the sweaty smells are gone. A good use to for DG20 has been for spraying the curtains and blinds to keep them fresh and esp with pending damper conditions around the home a quick spray and all smells great. Another good area to use is the rain or weather weather gear a quick spray and all freshened as is the school bags, give them a quick spray kills the bugs and smells making all fresh again. As i stated a Must Have In your home we feel and cost effective.

    I have to admit, I’m generally a natural kind of a girl when it comes to cleaning products. But there are some times when you need something just that little bit stronger… like when a tummy big hits the house! Enter Dettol Glen 20.

    My Glen 20 trial turned up at an ideal time, end of term bugs had just hit the kids. I went on the rampage, spraying the toilet/bathroom, bedding, eating areas… the works. And guess what? The adults didn’t get sick! Yay – bugs stopped in their tracks!

    I also used it on the pet bedding, I have older cats, and their health is important, this product freshened things up, and the smell didn’t put them off going back in their beds…another big plus.

    So, so far, I’m loving this product. Easy to use, dries fast, pleasant scent – all good. This week the kids and I will be doing our termly house clean up, so I will have more to report soon…

    Our family really loved the Dettol Glen 20 spray! With a fiddly toddler and baby its great to know surfaces are germ free. We used this on rubbish bins, the toilet, benches and door handles. It leaves a nice scent and deodorises those unpleasant smelling areas such as the rubbish bin and toilet. This is definitely an in between thorough cleaning type product but very handy to have especially with little kids who touch everything in site. Would be great for toys which are hard to clean etc too.

  8. raz1984 15/04/2018 at 7:20 am

    I loved how versatile this was! With such a strong aerosole spray, it was perfect for so many surfaces.

    All hard surfaces were first up in the firing line. While benches have to be wiped down first otherwise crumbs go everywhere, I felt they got a really good clean once sprayed.

    Soft surfaces were next. Curtains, couches, even the school bag was sprayed and left such a yummy scent with the Clean Linen spray.

    I would definitely be keeping a can of this in the cupboard, especially with school winter germs coming very soon.

    After receiving the Dettol Glen 20 Disinfectant Spray in Crisp Linen, I got to work spraying behind curtains to try and prevent the mould which arrives when it has been wet for a while. I also sprayed my shower curtains as they normally get mouldy and now they all smell lovely & fresh.

    The boys’ coats have been in storage waiting for my daughter to fit into them and they had a musty smell about them so sprayed all over and hung on washing line so they smell pretty good now. I also sprayed my car as we bought it from a person who had a mountain rescue dog who was always out and about in the bush with her dog and the car smells so much better.

    Next summer, I’m going to buy Dettol Glen 20 Disinfectant Spray to take with us and spray around the showers which are communal use so they are all clean for our family. It’s an easy to use can and will be well used by our family. Will certainly recommend to relatives and friends.

    Never thought I would have a need for this but it is so handy!
    From smelly bins to germ covered toys and furniture from the winter onslaught, there are so many uses and it is so easy to use. The smell is pleasant and it does not leave any residue or streaks. I seems like a handy product o matter what sort of household !

  11. Kayeew 14/04/2018 at 7:29 pm

    I received my dettol spray yesterday and have used it right away as I have a newborn at home too. We change her nappies alot and the bin she uses has a bad odor because of it.. With this spray I can just spray the surface of the bin and the stinky nappy smell would be gone right away. It’s also perfect to spray over door handles, the sink and toilet. It’s just a great spray to get rid of nasty germs in the household. Even my older ones daycare uses it in their bathroom. Love this product. Would Highly recommend it to everyone.

  12. lisarusden 14/04/2018 at 6:46 pm

    This stuff is amazing! How did I not discover this earlier!?

    We have had the dreaded first cold of the season and this is great to spray on all the door handles etc (not to mention smelly rubbish bins etc!)

    A little goes a long way! The scent is quite pleasant and leaves the room smelling fresh and clean.

    Definitely will be a regular on our shopping list from now on!

    Thanks again!

    We received the Dettol Glen 20 Disinfectant Spray sample late yesterday. Today I used it to freshen up the house, I trialed using different amounts in each room. Less is definitely more. I found when I over sprayed, it left a horrible taste in our mouths. But when sprayed for seconds, it is actually quite present. I have just sprayed the rubbish bin and bathroom, I will write an update on them once they have dried
    So far so good though, would recommend this to others. I really like how it is so versatile!
    Thanks for the opportunity 🙂

  14. palindrome 14/04/2018 at 10:46 am

    The Dettol Glen 20 Spray is pretty amazing! The smell (crisp linen) is not as artificial as some sprays, though in concentration can be rather strong. I personally wouldn’t use it as an air freshner but as a specific target de-odouriser. It is really good at getting rid of damp smells and strong household odour areas such as the toilets and bins.

  15. Theresa Te whaiti 14/04/2018 at 8:58 am

    I got this on Wednesday morning and have loved using it everyday. Super handy. Lovely crisp fresh smell. Our rubbish bin was looking and smelling gross and I sprayed in morning and still had nice smell following day. Great for bathroom and kitchen. Would also be useful for the winter flu season coming up to spray door handles etc. thank you for opportunity

  16. mummy2sirisxarkive 13/04/2018 at 8:36 pm

    Received my Glen 20 this afternoon and I am very surprised as soon as I done the first spray the crisp linen smell filled the room, as a mum of a 1 year old and a 4 year old I was at bliss considering the house had just been plastered with the smell from a number 2 from Mr 1 year old. So I am giving it a huge tick for eliminating odours and with the disinfectant side of things I went abit crazy and sprayed toys, handles, the toilet room, bathroom, and even done a quick spray over all the beds and let me tell u with the cold winter we are going to have I actually had a confident boost that with Glen 20 in my cupboard those winter bugs stand little to no chance at bombarding my little boys and myself for that matter. The smell was a tad strong expecially with my happy hand spraying away but honestly how can I not go crazy it’s heaven for us busy parents in a can. Happy mum=happy kiddies 😘

  17. Alannah88 13/04/2018 at 6:58 pm

    Glen 20 crisp linen is amazing. I impatiently waited for mine lol..
    It can be used on literally everything except the children them selves .
    I used mine on a furniture i was gifted, which had been in storage for a long time and had that yucky mouldy smell (as it did also have some mould) now it smells amazing and my house also . The furniture had left a horrid smell . Now with Glen 20 crisp linen my home smells fresh and clean. My 4 year old said mmm yummy mum the house smells beautiful. . .
    Thanks Glen 20

    Glen 20 crisp linen is amazing. I impatiently waited for mine lol..
    It can be used on literally everything except the children them selves .
    I used mine on a wooden bookshelf I was gifted, which had been in storage for a long time and had that yucky mouldy smell (as it did also have some mould) now it smells amazing and my house also . The cabinet had left a horrid smell . Now with Glen 20 crisp linen my home smells fresh and clean. My 4 year old said mmm yummy mum the house smells beautiful. . I also used on my collection of old golden books . Hehe. Thanks Glen 20

    • Alannah88 13/04/2018 at 7:00 pm

      Whoops and then I re read once children were in bed and it says not to use on wooden furniture .
      That’s ok. (No harm done) off to spray all the other furniture I was given.

  19. Craig Lovegrove 13/04/2018 at 5:48 pm

    My 4 year old son has smelly gumboots and glen 20 crisp linen is so easy to use just a quick spray inside the gumboots and they smell like new. I’ve tried soaking them in a bucket of water and washing powder overnight but glen 20 crisp linen is so much easier to use and it smells nicer. I seriously recommend using it on all smelly footwear.

  20. Mrsbhat 13/04/2018 at 4:11 pm

    Thanks for giving us this product to try out.
    It arrived just at the right time for us, a vomiting bug had just taken out my youngest so I was able to use this to disinfect all surfaces in the kitchen and bathrooms. I also gave the washing machine a spray and wipe down on the inside after having to clean up lots of mess with towels, meaning I could go back to washing clothes without worrying. I did find the smell a bit overwhelming when first sprayed but it settled quickly and left everything smelling clean long after it had been used. Will be buying again once this can runs out.

    I received the Dettol Glen 20 Disinfectant Spray in Crisp Linen to try. I used the spray in my kitchen, bathroom and laundry as well as spots all round the house. It came in handy with a bit of early spring cleaning I was doing. The fragrance is lovely and makes a nice change from lavender. It is very reassuring to use the Dettol spray as it kills 99.9% of germs and viruses especially in cold and flu season.I used it on mattresses and pillows to freshen them up too and the scent is lovely.I sprayed the inside of our rubbish bin after cleaning it and now there are no more bin odours. I have added this to my regular shopping list now.Thank you.

  22. Kyleeevans 13/04/2018 at 2:00 pm

    Thanks for giving us the opportunity to try this out. I love the ease of use and the peace of mind that our food areas especially are grem free. I also LOVE the fragrunce. Its fresh and doesn’t smell like toilet spray x) Will definently be popping it on my shopping list in the furture.

  23. tunzdhg 13/04/2018 at 1:33 pm

    I am totally impressed with the Dettol glen 20 spray. We have a range of indoor animals cats kittens and a dog and this spray is amazing, deodorising the air, knowing that I’m eliminating 99.9% of germs my lovelies bring in, just WOW!! I also use it in my bathroom/toilet as a refreshener. Around the window sill and curtains to try and prevent mould, the long lasting fragrance is fantastic. It’s actually a good product to spray over the kids toys to help with the germs which I do this every night before bed. Absolutely fantastic, thanks for letting me trial this product

  24. Sheela Duffy 13/04/2018 at 1:31 pm

    Thank you for the opportunity to trial the Dettol Glen 20 Spray Disinfectant in crisp linen. I used to it to clean my daughter’s high chair (plastic), kitchen top, bathroom and sofa.
    I like the slim look and it is easy to use. The smell was a bit too strong for me but works magic in concealing the smell in my daughter’s nappy bin.

  25. Thejteam 13/04/2018 at 11:53 am

    Thank you sooo much for letting us trial this.
    We are a dettol family so this was great for us. It smells sooo pleasant around the house and great for the nappy bins and general waste bin. We use this alot for the curtains and the window sills as it is starting to get cold and damp, we want to prevent getting moulds, open up the windows and it gets the room smelling lovely. This is great for the closets full of shoes and clothes, it makes the closet smell like you’ve just done the laundry hehe.

    We also use it in the cars, as we have pets. The car smells Love-el-lly!
    Its great everywhere!

  26. Pamela Walker 13/04/2018 at 11:50 am

    I really enjoyed using the Dettol Glen 20 Spray, Crisp Linen. My husband could tell which room I had been into because of the lasting fragrance. I just wish I could have used it on wood! All the whiteware got a going over and was most impressed with the results, shine shine shine!! Hope the 3 cats don’t mind the perfume, their bedding got a good ‘see too’ also. When the weather clears, watch out family car. Thank you.

  27. goddess588 13/04/2018 at 8:10 am

    The thing I like the most is it’s a fabulous smell (crisp linen) – not too strong and not fake-smelling, and it lasts for quite a while. Killing germs and viruses is way up there on my list too, especially with winter coming up, but I mostly tried it as a deodoriser. The rubbish bin got sprayed, as did our smelly wheelybin – yes it killed most of the decomposing smell. I used it in the toilet, including the windowsill. I sprayed some in gumboots which now smell better than new. I really like it for freshening up things, and will be using it a lot, including in the dryer, which tends to get a bit stinky. I plan on using it in the car as someone else has suggested. Thanks for the trial – this will be on my shopping list.

  28. Kateprice2277 12/04/2018 at 8:41 pm

    We really like the Dettol Glen 20 spray!
    I have used it on many different surfaces including rubbish bins, dogs beds, the cloth nappy bin and even our lounge suite; it has worked a treat in deodorising, has left a pleasant smell which isn’t too overpowering and no streaks or residue.
    Its good piece of mind to know the surfaces such as my sons highchair, door handles and countertops are germ free, this will be especially good when winter sickness and tummy bugs are going around.
    I will definitely buy this product.

  29. Hannah Rutland 12/04/2018 at 3:35 pm

    I absolutely love the Dettol Glen 20 spray Disinfectant!!! It really does eliminate odour. We use it in the bathroom for those nasty smells and it works so well. The Crisp Linen is a fresh fragrance that isn’t too overpowering. I also used it on the rubbish bin and it was great to know that it not only got rid of the dirty nappy smells but also that it gets rid of bacteria! I’m a convert and will definitely be using it daily!

  30. pamperkins 12/04/2018 at 3:25 pm

    Thanks for choosing me to trial the Dettol Glen 20 Spray. I received the Crisp Linen fragrance which was a nice smell that lasted a long time. I used it to clean my kitchen benches, table and stair rails. It was also fantastic on our fridge and didn’t leave any smears which drive me insane! With 4 active kids I think I’m going to have a lot of uses for this, especially the family car.
