If there’s one thing Aussies love, it’s a good bargain, especially when making household chores a little less painful.

And right now, Kmart has done it again, sending shoppers into a frenzy over a $6 cleaning product that’s flying off the shelves faster than you can say 'spring clean'.

Many are rushing to stores hoping to grab one before stocks run out.


Kmart’s new $6 dust slippers can clean your floors as you walk around the house.

It’s the kind of invention that makes you wonder why you ever bothered with a broom and dustpan in the first place!


The humble dust slipper has become a viral sensation, thanks in part to Leanne from @homewithleanne, who took to social media to share her excitement.

'Kmart finds you didn’t know you needed—these $6 dust slippers are perfect for cleaning your skirting boards,' she raved.

And the best part? When you’re done, just pop the soles in the washing machine and they’re good as new.


It didn’t take long for the internet to catch on. Comments flooded in from fellow cleaning enthusiasts and self-confessed 'lazy cleaners' alike.

'Well, I know what my kids are getting for Christmas,' one shopper joked, while another declared, 'Time to get dressed and head to Kmart!'

There were even questions about whether the slippers come in kids’ sizes, because let’s face it, if you can turn cleaning into a game, you might get the grandkids involved.

Others were quick to point out the genius of the product for those with back or mobility issues.

'Wait, my slipped disc purred at this,' one user commented, highlighting how these slippers could make cleaning less of a strain for those who find bending and scrubbing difficult.

And for those of us with endless skirting boards or sprawling floorboards, the dust slippers are a game-changer.

'I need this. Our house is HUGE. The skirting boards are endless,' one shopper lamented.

Another added, 'I’ve always wanted a pair of these for my mum’s house, she has all floorboards and takes a very long time to sweep/dust! Amazing find.'

Kmart has responded to the viral excitement, with a spokesperson saying, 'We love seeing how excited our customers get about discovering unique and affordable products in our stores, and this viral moment is no exception.

We’re always working to deliver functional and on-trend pieces that bring joy to everyday living, all at an affordable price.

It’s incredibly rewarding to see how our community shares their finds and creative ideas with such passion.'


If you’ve missed out this time, don’t worry—the dust slippers are set to return to Kmart stores later this year. So, keep your eyes peeled and your feet ready!

Let’s be honest, cleaning isn’t exactly anyone’s favourite pastime. But products like these dust slippers make it just a little bit more fun—and a lot more efficient.

Simply slip them on, shuffle around the house, and watch as dust, pet hair, and crumbs disappear from your floors and skirting boards.

They’re especially handy for those with mobility issues, arthritis, or anyone who finds traditional cleaning methods a bit of a challenge.

Plus, they’re machine washable, reusable, and—at just $6—a fraction of the price of many other cleaning gadgets. It’s no wonder they’re selling out!
