Available at the counter. Couldn’t see it listed online. Was advised that stock had just come in today.

500ml @ $6.95

Receipt

Back of bottle pic:

  • Ingredients:
    Alcohol, Aqua, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Triethanolamine, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Cross Polymer, Fragrance.
    This is identical to the Scotts Hand Sanitiser and since both are made by Pascoe's, the alcohol content should be the same (either 62% or 70% v/v Ethanol).

    I'd say maybe even get in quick cos it's almost bound to be "recalled" because of the bottle with the sort of weaker reasons I've seen recalls issued for …

    If it doesn't say 70-80% alcohol then it doesn't have it (otherwise they would state it). Probably means that it isn't very effective against coronavirus.

      If it kills 99.9% of germs then it has a good level of alcohol.

      Anything above 60% alcohol is good.

        Many wipes without any alcohol content says 99.9% shit. I bet you didn't read the label of contents. Please provide scientific proof.
        P.S. Coronavirus is NOT a germ(bacteria).

          It's no bacteria, but a virus (any virus) is still a germ.

    • Cluster on 27/04/2020 - 00:55

      I purchased a bottle of "1st Care Hand Sanitizer" in late February. Claimed to kill 99.9% of germs, and stated it's highly flammable on the label. When I rubbed it on my hands where was a weak scent of alcohol. I tried to light a sample on fire. It always extinguished the flame. That's a good indication it's below 50%.

      Unless the label states the ethanol content as a percentage, be very very skeptical.

    man i bet these are selling like vaccines

    • plasmoske on 27/04/2020 - 19:36

      50% alcohol is crap.

    • robinCTS on 27/04/2020 - 20:46
      +3

      so very likely to be below standard

      You can't really form this conclusion.

      1) An MSDS might only be required to specify a minimum alcohol percentage specification from a set of predefined values such as {>50%, >75%, >90%}.

      2) The MSDS is quoting >50%[weight] which is not the same as >50% v/v.

      Assuming the density of the non-alcohol part of the hand sanitiser is approximately the same as that of water, then roughly speaking:

      ABV = (99823 × ABW) ÷ (20878 × ABW + 78945)

      where ABV is the alcohol by volume figure as a decimal, and ABW is the equivalent value by weight.

      Thus >50% w/w is actually ~ >56% v/v. I suspect that the actual density of the gel is most likely greater than that of water, leading to an even greater ABV.

      (A good explanation of the formula can be found here.(the-wolfeden.com))

      3) Apparently, Scotts Hand Sanitiser, made by the same company (Pascoe's) and with the exact same ingredient list and identical MSDS, seems to have originally been 62%(cltoolcentre.com.au), but is now 70% v/v ethanol(chemistwarehouse.com.au). (Though that 62% could be w/w, which would make it ~67% v/v or even more.)

      It thus seems highly likely that the Oomph's alcohol content will be the same as that of the Scotts' - either 62% (w/w or v/v) or 70% v/v. Will need to contact Pascoe's to confirm this.

    It's good to see that Bunnings hasn't bought into the price gouging that is still going on.

    I fell for the upsell at the checkout of my local Chemist Warehouse yesterday… $3.99 for a 60ml bottle!!!

    Shame on me for falling for it and not thinking to ask how much, shame on Chemist Warehouse using their checkout upsell technique to prey upon people at this time.

    • emrifusion on 27/04/2020 - 08:26

      Seems like a slightly above normal price. You cant compare $/ml with different size bottles.

      Price gouging is going to a $2 dollar store when buying nick nacks and seeing a 50ml bottle for $20!!

    • CookieJacker31 on 27/04/2020 - 17:00

      Don't panic those 60ml bottles are better than 500ml bottles for carrying around. Just refill from the 500-1000ml+. And it turns out these are a mirage.

      🤔 I wonder if it's meant for store use only, with some stores incorrectly selling to the public, or whether it's meant to be sold but some stores are reserving them for internal use? EDIT: Looks like it's meant to be sold to the public.

      Need to get more feedback about other stores. (I might end up having to update the availability table.)

      • Ozhunterz on 27/04/2020 - 15:19

        I rang a couple of stores in WA as per my separate post and even though they have hundreds in stock no one could find them.
        One store mentioned that it is most likely for staff use and they may eventually sell any surplus to the public down the track.
        So at the moment, even though this is a really good bargain, it's not yet available to the public.
        I've not seen any posts from anyone saying they've had success getting hold of them either.

        It could be that some stores are indeed incorrectly selling to the public … or they may have over bought (over stocked?)??
        But with the current prices for 500ml sanitizers being well over $15 a bottle I'd say this deal is a little too good to be true.
        If anyone has a photo of the item with the price tag in a store, as proof that it is being sold, they should post it as evidence.

        • robinCTS on 27/04/2020 - 16:03

          One store mentioned that it is most likely for staff use and they may eventually sell any surplus to the public down the track.

          I usually take what team members say with a pinch of salt. It might be true, but it might not be.

          So at the moment … it's not yet available to the public.
          …
          It could be that some stores are indeed incorrectly selling to the public

          As confirmed by CaptainNewspeak below the product has come through the system as a standard line, i.e. to be sold to customers, not a store-use item. That's not to say it wasn't keyed into the system incorrectly, and wasn't intended for the public. But it's also possible that some/most stores are incorrectly not selling to the public.

          I've not seen any posts from anyone saying they've had success getting hold of them either.

          Other than the OP. The photos seem to confirm that the item was actually bought.

          But with the current prices for 500ml sanitizers being well over $15 a bottle I'd say this deal is a little too good to be true.

          Maybe Bunnings is not price gouging? Before the Chinese Virus (ChiV-19) I used to buy 1L for $14-$15. cheaper just bought a 1L Scotts Hander Sanitiser, from Bunnings, for $13.90. Plus currently there's a few good deals: Amino Z Hand Sanitiser 1L $19.95 less $5 Back in Store Credit, Scotts Instant Hand Sanitiser 500ml $11.99, and Soft Care Hand Sanitiser 500ml $6.95

          If anyone has a photo of the item with the price tag in a store, as proof that it is being sold, they should post it as evidence.

          Or, even better, a photo of a receipt.

      Already discussed in this previous comment thread. (That's why I posted the stock count table that's pinned to the top.)

      Basically it's always showing the same five VIC stores.

    In WA I contacted Whitfords and Joondalup.
    Whitfords couldnt find their stock although they have over 300 listed.
    Joondalup have over 400 items and also could not locate them, however the guy said if they do have them its most likely for staff use only and that later on down the track they may sell off any bottles when no longer required for staff use.

  • Ughhh on 27/04/2020 - 16:12

    • robinCTS on 27/04/2020 - 16:34
      +1

      I suspect that for some stores, the stock is still sitting out the back on a pallet. Possibly others haven't received their allocation yet.

      It would be good to know where they are displayed in stores that do have them on show to see if there's some sort of pattern. Normally, these sort of Promo/Special allotments can end up in floor stacks anywhere across the store. However, I wouldn't expect that for a hand sanitiser in these times.

  • backupper1 on 27/04/2020 - 16:49

    Went in-store at Oakleigh Vic, checked with front desk and then store manager and showed them OZB post too as well as stock listing (qty=159). One phone call also went off from manager.

    Result -> Its NOT available for sale, only for store employees use and instore use for others. You can see the bottles across store In pump bottles for everyone’s usage.

    Don’t waste your time on this, I would have negated this post if my account was old enough.

    • robinCTS on 27/04/2020 - 18:11

      I'm now starting to think that maybe Bunnings actually deliberately set it up as a sellable item, though initially intended just for store use. That way, when things eventually settled down, they could start selling it to the public to clear out excess stock.

      Seems a silly way of doing it, though. The stock counts will be stuffed unless they waste used bottles correctly. (And let me assure you, that is not likely to happen!) Plus, it might, as actually happened, lead to a situation where some stores sell it to the public, and others don't. (Not so much of a problem unless it hits OzBargain… Wait…)

      Far better to have keyed the product as a store use item so it couldn't be sold and then change its status when and if they need to clear it or stock it as a standard line.

    It's $1 cheaper than previously posted by OP.

    There's plenty of sanitisers around now and 1 litre can be purchased for around $10, but just thought I would let folks know that the 500ml Oomph is available. :)
