      This was so timely in our house! My son came down with a bug and spewed all in his car seat. After washing the seat covers and the seat itself I was able to spray this on the plastic seat and on the polystyrene that I couldn’t wash! I also used it on the door handles, nappy bin, toilet and in the cat litter box….so great!!! I will keep buying this product. Helpful to have in the cupboard!

      Thanks for allowing us to trial this. It has been brilliant. My daughter and I both had a tummy bug not long after receiving this so cam in very handy in making sure all surfaces we touched were cleaned after to lesson the chance of reinfection and for others in the house. Have also used on couches, curtains and mattresses. We had the crisp linen scent and has left the whole house smelling nice. The scent is not too strong and lingers for quite a while. Also used in the car once cleaned out and it has banished the funky smell. Will definitely be purchasing again.

      I loved this product. I received the clean linen aroma. I used this in the bathroom, to clean security gates and mould on the wall.

      It left all surfaces really clean and everything had such a clean smell afterwards – not a sickly cleaning product smell but a fresh clean smell. The mould also came off the walls easily and it was good to know that the security gate handles would be germ free.

      I found the product easy to use and was really good for small spots and did not leave a watery residue behind in comparison to other products.

      I would definitely use again.

      Hi All. Well I recieved the Dettol Glen at the perfect time, My family where all sick with the flu and knowing Ihad a great product in hand to help keep the nasty bugs at bay was perfect.
      Not only is it great for air born germs but its also great for surfaces to, and it smells devine.
      I truely believe that Dettol Glen 20 helped half our healling time.
      I will be stocking up on this product for sure

    5. Mels 27/08/2017 at 4:02 pm

      Wow what an amazing product wish I had tried it sooner!! It was perfect for getting rid of the smell and odours caught in the carpet especially at this time of year when the kids and animals are bringing dirty feet inside, I felt much better knowing it was germ free having a crawling baby. It was also handy spraying in the closet to keep the mildew away and I sprayed the walls in the damp areas of my old villa to prevent mould. The house definitely smells cleaner and fresher. Thank you.

      Well… im unsure about this one. we have to use this disinfectant spray used in conjunction with a normal surface spray. As i found it really didnt do much by itself for actual grease. However i guess i did have piece of mind after using it that the bench was in fact clean of germs. Will need to think on whether this is a need.

      The “Dettol Glen 20 Surface Spray” was fantastic for eliminating all those bugs from Winter and also lingering unwanted smells! In a word: “AWESOME!”

    8. Godzgirl 26/08/2017 at 6:28 pm

      Really appreciated this trial. We had a minor laundry flood a few weeks ago and despite the carpet now being dry the smell hadn’t been very nice. After spraying the carpet with glen 20 it has smelt much better. I also sprayed the lounge furniture and cushions – I’m sure this helps to reduce the chance of winter bugs spreading around.

    9. mharkushanz 26/08/2017 at 3:38 pm

      Thank you so much for the chance in trying your product. We got in a carefully packed package. We had the Crisp Linen fragrance and it smells so refreshing and clean. Will definitely add this to our grocery list.

    10. rosarn 26/08/2017 at 2:39 pm

      Thank you so much for a chance to try this product. It could not have come a better time – everyone in our house ended up with tummy bugs. I could use this and know that surfaces were actually going to be germ free!! It smelt nice but not to strong, will definitely be buying more.

    11. Angelgirl081 26/08/2017 at 2:27 pm

      Thank you so much for the opportunity to try Dettol Glen 20. I have often seen it advertised but hadn’t tried it before. We were given the crisp linen scent to try and it smells really good. I was trying to think of a way to describe the smell but it really does just smell like clean laundered clothes. It came at a good time as we had a house inspection so it was great to leave every room smelling fresh and clean. I also gave all the couches a good clean too. The weekend before the inspection, we also had miss 4’s birthday party and we had it in this big concrete room under our garage. This room is not very water tight and we use it more like a shed to store stuff that won’t get mouldy. I used the Glen 20 to make the room smell fresh and clean and not musty for her birthday. It was great. With a 6 month old and a 4 year old, I like to keep the house free from bugs so I have been giving toys and the carpet a wee spray every now and then. Another thing I have been doing is spraying it in my wardrobe. I have an ensuite that doesn’t have an extractor fan (just a small window) and even though we have an HRV I often worry about getting mould in my wardrobe. Obviously I am yet to notice any benefits to doing this but I feel a lot better doing so. I really like the versatility of having one product that will do most things and will definitely continue to buy this.

      I received the Dettol Glen 20 crisp linen. What an awesome product!!! Smells amazing and the aerosol is so easy to use!!! Gives a nice fine spray and even distribution. Feels nice and smooth when wiping. It’s the perfect toilet cleaner!!! Leaves the plastic nice and shiny and kills any smells. I have 3 boys in the house so the toilet can be a bit of a mess but this makes easy work of giving it a thorough clean. And I know it’s killing those germs so I love it!!! I’ll definitely be buying more!

    13. Bayleighmurray 26/08/2017 at 8:52 am

      The smell of crisp linen is so nice ! I’ve been spraying it everywhere in my home and the smell lingers for ages as well. Great for toilet and bathroom areas. I would buy this product again.

    14. Mjchase 25/08/2017 at 7:23 pm

      The Crisp Linen had a pleasant smell. Very mild. Neutralised odours very well. Helped with grout mould somewhat. Better at bathroom mould on the ceiling.

    15. linkingirl 25/08/2017 at 7:08 pm

      Thanks for choosing our family as reviewers of the Glen20 spray. We got Crisp linen scented and found it was a nice fresh fragrance – not to overpowering. It’s great that this can be used on both hard and soft surfaces, although the fragrance definitely hangs around longer on soft surfaces. I have a young son and as any mum of boys knows, their aim isn’t the best! I love being able to just give the toilet area a quick spray n wipe and know it’s all clean and free of germs and smells lovely. I have been spraying in the our rubbish bins and it works well but after several hours, the smells are returning so it’s a bit of a temporary thing.
      I can imagine this would be great for mums of babies who are putting everything in their mouths, as it is so convenient to just spray and know it is clean and free of germs.
      I have bought this product before and I will buy again. I’d definitely recommend it to mums with young kids who need convenience when choosing a product to keep things germ free in their home.

      Thanks for theverything opportunity to trial Dettol Glen 20. This has been really useful to use around the house, especially with all the nasty winter bugs doing the rounds. I love the it kills 99.9% of germs and viruses. It has a fresh crisp pleasant smell. I also thought it was a real bounus it could be used on both hard and soft surfaces. I have used the spray on many different surfaces throughout our house including in the kitchenext and bathroom. Thanks again.

    17. shellcruise 25/08/2017 at 3:22 pm

      I have a Turtle and Canaries who get free range of the house at times and if anyone knows anything about either they are both messy creatures who can cause health issues so I need to make sure surfaces are wiped down after they are put back into there houses. Not to mention I also have two cats, two kids and a husband all at times makes a mess that need some serious attention.
      I received Crisp Linen and not only do I love the smell but I have 100% faith in this product I just feel like my surfaces are cleaner and I am not as concerned with the kids touching them now. I also like that it kills the source of Mould allergens which again makes me feel clean for some reason.
      I will definitely be purchasing again and highly recommend this product.

    18. Kerenp 25/08/2017 at 2:38 pm

      We received the Glen 20 in lean linen scent which is a lovely refreshing smell. It arrived just in time for cleaning up after a tummy bug. So far I have used to rid the sick smell from the bedroom, my daughters pillow and also two of her dolls who wore the projectile. It’s nice to know they will smell nice and that the germs will be gone.

    19. Nicki Warhurst 25/08/2017 at 1:24 pm

      Thank you for the opportunity to trial this extremely versatile product. I first used it as an air freshener to get rid of a particularly nasty bathroom smell. I was pleasantly surprised that the next morning I could still smell the scent. I have two small boys – one who is still in nappies so I think this product will be invaluable to help in the fight against nasty odours and bacteria, especially in the bathroom. Our house has aluminium joinery that seems to attract mould in the cooler weather. This product will be great to treat and prevent this. I like that it can also be used on the kitchen benches and door handles. I would definitely purchase this product again.

    20. NEdlington 25/08/2017 at 1:12 pm

      I was very excited to receive the Dettol Glen 20 spray.
      The can was a little smaller than I was expecting, I had imagined it to be a bit fatter, I also wasn’t really aware that they came in different types.

      See the can size here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxU8WAjxEkGTYm8xSVZ3Y2JTNWs

      I have the Crisp Linen, and it smells really nice. As the scent is so pleasant I can see how you could use it as an air freshener.

      The first thing I used it on, was a pair of second hand shoes I bought for my son, I wanted to kill off any bacteria that might have been in them, since they were second hand.

      I’ve also used it on door knobs, particularly the toilet door knob, which I open when I need to scrape poo out of a nappy into the toilet. I’ve used it around the bin in my son’s room where disposable nappies are put. (Which also makes the room smell nice).

      I’ve used it on the top of the baby safety gate, particularly around the latch where it’s handled all the time.
      It’s nice to know that all these surfaces are safe from bacteria.

      We have a pesky tom cat that sprays around our laundry door and cat flap, and after a clean, I used the glen 20 around here too. Made a huge difference to the aroma, as cat pee can be hard to get rid of.

      I love that it’s a hospital grade disinfectant, and that it has very clear instructions. It’s so easy to use, very versatile as it can be used on so many different objects, I think every parent needs this in their life.

      My free trail of Dettol Glen 20 Crisp linen arrived just in time !! . Everyone in our household has been sick so everything got a good spray including the dogs outside bean bag and the recycle bins . (Not sure the dog is liking her beanbag smelling of crisp linen but I do ) I definitely will purchase this product in the future . Thank you Dettol for leaving my home smelling great

    22. Jhereal 25/08/2017 at 11:07 am

      Thank you for the opportunity to try this product. I got the Glen 20 Crisp Linen and we use it at home all the time! I love the smell coz it’s not overpowering compare to other products. We use it mostly in the bathroom and it also works magic in the kitchen especially after cooking smelly food like fish. I used it on our door knobs as well since a lot of hands goes in there and I would say that’s the fastest way to disinfect that. Most of us got the tummy bug recently and I would say that this product helps to avoid that happening again. Will definitely purchase this product once it runs out! Thanks again! 🙂

    23. Syboo 25/08/2017 at 10:08 am

      I got to try Glen 20 Surface Spray Disinfectant Crisp Linen.
      This is a great product! My kids have been sick with colds, sore throats and runny noses for over 3 months and I thought we would never get rid of that! But hello, as soon as I received the trial product I sprayed it on all door knows, keyboards, toys… every surface they actually touch. No more runny noses or coughs! I even used it on the toilet and kitchen benches and light switches, remotes and computer keyboards. Also the window frames and walls that usually get moldy got some treatment. I can confirm that no mold grew back on these surfaces and the horrible mold smell is gone from the window frames. And the product smells really nice too. Knowing it does kill all the nasty bugs gives me piece of mind and for sure my kids are not sick anymore. I recommend this product and will definitely buy it again. Also because I am curious how Lavender and the Original smell. 🙂

    24. Karleen 25/08/2017 at 8:49 am

      Loved this product, I got the crisp linen spray it smelt great not overpowering. Great to use on all surfaces and didnt leave any residue behind.

    25. Smudge 25/08/2017 at 8:32 am

      Thank you for the opportunity to trial Dettol Glen 20. I received the Crisp Linen fragrance. I found the fragrance itself pleasant – not overpowering like some cleaning products can be.
      I’ve found it to be great, especially for those jobs where you not only want clean and sanitised, but also deodorised like the kitchen bin. Easy to use, and powerful to get through dirt and grime. I’ve found it very effective to wipe down surfaces to eliminate marks on the fridge, cupboards and benchtops. – The perfect product to have on hand before a flat inspection! It also removed dried on marker off my kitchen whiteboard with ease that I had all but given up on the chance of removing.
      I look forward to using the product to give my house a thorough clean coming into spring, and no doubt finding more uses for this great product. I give Dettol Glen 20 a big tick, and would definitely purchase it again.

    26. Bigam4 24/08/2017 at 9:50 pm

      Great product. Trialled the crisp linen and it hand a wonderful crisp and clean smell. Found it great for spraying on all contact surfaces, from bench tops , down to little things like light switches and door handles and my sons toys.

    27. tassynicole 24/08/2017 at 9:20 pm

      We have been trialing the Crisp Linen Dettol Glen 20 surface spray for the past week and I have to say I have been impressed. Its taken away those horrible damn smells from the laundry that have built up from the weeks of rain, freshened up the kids rooms from the lack of open windows and combat odors from the bin. Usually I stay away from products like this as the smell is irritating to me but I found this to be pleasant as long as the kid wasnt spraying it non stop.
      Its a nice fresh smell that isnt overbearing and definitely one I would purchase in future. This product is great in winter with so many illnesses going around. Instead of having to handwash every surface I have just given every room a spary of this to help keep the germs at bay.
      I like that it is multipurpose, (Ive even given the outdoor bins a good spray) works for every scenario although it seems to have found a permanent home in the toilet. Saying that I know where to go to grab it if the bin needs freshening up or the laundry.
      A great product to have in the house especially in winter.

    28. Spenco 24/08/2017 at 8:58 pm

      Thank you for the opportunity to trial this. I received the citrus one.
      Not my normal choice in flavours.
      I probably would choose lavender if I was to purchase again.
      Works well to deoderise my rubbish bin, shoes and helped take some of the smell of diesel out of my partners work clothes.
      After a bout of sickness in the house it has lasted well to spray down everything and leaving it fresh smelling.

      My main use is shoes… icky work boots

    29. Donna Verstraten 24/08/2017 at 8:48 pm

      I received this product the other day (in the middle of both my partner and our daughter being sick). I got the crisp linen one. First off it smells good. I sprayed all the door handles and the kitchen bench (after i had cleaned it with detol wipes) and after doing that i felt like my home was cleaner. It smelt fresh and clean.

    30. Michellesmith19 24/08/2017 at 8:48 pm

      Firstly I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to try tgis fabulous product! I am in love with my Dettol Glen Surface spray. I received the crisp Linen spray and it so refreshing. I love that it kills 99.9% of germs and viruses i.e E.Coli, Salmonella etc. This is an extremely handy product to have around your home and this will most certainly stay on my shopping list. I use it to disinfectant and clean everything,which gives me peace of mind with little kids wandering around always putting everything in their mouths. Keeps everything crisp and clean with a smell that is not overpowering which I love. I have always loved Dettol and this new product just shows you once again how amazing Dettol really is 😃 thank you so much again!
