    Does this stink? Any reviews?

    • fozzie on 21/07/2020 - 16:13

      Review on Kmart website. I didn’t buy it as I already have plenty.

    • kahn on 21/07/2020 - 17:02

      It doesn't smell bad at all. Alcohol and aloe vera. The pump dispenser shoots out way too much liquid, so you have to be precise to only allow a little out. NQR in VIC might still have some for $6/L.

      • ChickenDinner123 on 21/07/2020 - 17:06

        Great. Thanks for the info.

        • kahn on 21/07/2020 - 17:11

          My apologies, but I just noticed that this is a lower alcohol version of the Swisscare 1L bottle that I have (mine is 75% alcohol). The dispenser looks identical, however.

    • Nomoneynotalk on 21/07/2020 - 20:21

      Yes, very industrial smell, similar to Scott Brand and like the one at Westfield Garden City

        Scott's is the worst smelling avoid if it smells like that

        • capslock janitor on 05/08/2020 - 15:29

          i only use them at Coles pump stations.

          but otherwise yeah if i had other choice i would not get Scott

      • Nomoneynotalk on 07/08/2020 - 08:44

        Update, after using it little longer, it’s not too bad. Does have a strong smell when first use. It is okay and somewhat milder as it ages.

    • brnaodn on 21/07/2020 - 23:38

      Isopropyl alcohol smells fine and ethanol smells horrible from what I have heard. No news on what this one is though.

      This is such a dull (repeated) comment. This is a bargain site, by definition if it's cheap it's more likely to be made in Asia. If you don't like it just move on…

    I don't find the Bunnings Oomph that bad smelling … just a bit a mediciney/alcohol but wouldn't say it makes me think of "stink". Australia made.
    I have this eucalyptus one from CW too; now that I would say is borderline stinky. Very strong smelling at least.

        Coles has this one at my locals :(

        • capslock janitor on 05/08/2020 - 15:30

          Coles are using them everywhere

          I prefer the ones at Woolies, or even better the touchless spray ones on entry

        Careline brand hand sanitizer was brutal, the scent just doesn't come off your hands for hours. It survived soap and water, other hand sanitizer, everything. Smelled like yellow loo duck. The Ozguard from Woolies was pungent but the smell went almost instantly.

        Looking for some unscented ones.

        Get your olfactories checked. It smells like alcohol - for a very short time.

        This KMart product doesn't say what % of each ingredient is included. Where did you see the 70% alcohol OP?

        • sureyoucan on 21/07/2020 - 17:02

          Its 62.0% alcohol… based on the same product smaller bottle

          https://www.kmart.com.au/product/swisscare-instant-hand-sani…

          • fozzie on 21/07/2020 - 17:03

            @sureyoucan: I have taken from label on the smaller sized https://www.kmart.com.au/product/swisscare-instant-hand-sani…

          • spaceflight on 21/07/2020 - 17:53

            @sureyoucan: It is not the same product as the smaller bottle

            The smaller bottle lists alcohol as the main ingredient

            Ingredients: Alcohol 62.0%, water, glycerin, carbomer, propylene glycol, triethanolamine, tocopheryl acetate, aloe barbadensis leaf juice.

            This bottle lists water as the main ingredient

            The alcohol % is a useful marketing point.
            If it doesn't say what it has then it probably has a low amount of alcohol in it.

              People mentioned this about the Bunnings ones too and whether to be suss "newer" non-% marked ones may be more variable due to the later demand to churn it out. No one can really know I guess. But when I did end up buying some I deliberately picked some bottles towards the back when I saw they had the older 70% label on it. May as well :P

    Bought a couple of these a few weeks back, one for home and one for the car.

    It's a bit runny, so be mindful to not squeeze too much out when using it.

    There is a dirty joke in there somewhere, have at it :p

    • fozzie on 21/07/2020 - 18:10

      Do you know what is the alcohol content? Cheers

        I checked my bottle, definitely 62% in the 1L. When I was buying there were 2 styles of 435ml bottles (one tall/skinny, one shorter/wider), perhaps they are 70% as listed, but this 1L is 62%.

      • Steamed Hams on 21/07/2020 - 19:11

        62% in the 1L like AngryAlfred said

    Is it the one at Kmart entrance as they smell very bad!?!?!?

    • Lancerx on 21/07/2020 - 18:38

      i can tell you Oxygel brand is the worst smelling one!

        Worse than Scott's it must reek

        • [Deactivated] on 22/07/2020 - 14:34

          The trick is to apply the sanitizer to your hands not your nose.

    I am using this one at the moment. No unpleasant smell. I recommend this one. You get get better for $10.

  • walaj on 22/07/2020 - 10:05

    Either the ingredients on the kmart web site is wrong, or this ISN'T suitable for covid-19 hand sanitation which requires at least 60% alcohol (ethanol) or 72% isopropyl alcohol

    How can this possibly be 62% alcohol if the first ingredient is water?

  • BargainMac on 22/07/2020 - 17:26

    There is a good Australia made Hand santizer available in Aldi. $7 or 8 i think.
    Let's buy local if possible.

    • whooah1979 on 22/07/2020 - 17:44

      It's 950ml and made in Malaysia.

      • BargainMac on 23/07/2020 - 17:35

        I need to check the price agian but I am talking about tricare - "australia made" stamp.

        • whooah1979 on 23/07/2020 - 17:53

          Yes. I have a 950ml TriCare pump bottle next to my kb. It's been there a while so they may have changed suppliers.

    • Fuzor on 23/07/2020 - 23:17

      LOL. We manufacture hand sanitizers like we manufacture Holdens. If another country is pissed at us, they turn the off switch and boom its Malaysian.

  • zealmax on 24/07/2020 - 15:35

    OK got the hand sanitiser today. I can confirm it is 62% alcohol. Did a quick flame test. Lights up instantly(invisible) and releases level of heat you would expect from an alcohol flame. Very light on the fragrance, it is one of the better smelling hand sanitisers I have tried.

    • fozzie on 24/07/2020 - 15:51

      Thanks for the feedback. Good to know :)

    • capslock janitor on 05/08/2020 - 15:43

  • kds123 on 11/08/2020 - 16:29

    Just went to Kmart on the weekend, the version they had on the shelf is now 75% ethanol. Unfortunately it leaves this artificial floral/toilet cleaner scent that's giving me a headache. Even Scott's at Bunnings is better.
