Time to toss all your other sprays! Here’s what older Aussies are using for bites, bacteria, and beyond

If your bathroom cabinet is looking more like a pharmacy aisle than a place of peace, you're not alone.

Over the years, many of us accumulate a small arsenal of creams, sprays, ointments and wipes—each with a single purpose, all somehow half-used, leaking, and expired.

And while some of those products are useful, a growing number of Australians are turning to one multi-use spray* to replace the lot.


It’s called The Pure Oil Spray by ETTO Australia*, and it’s being praised as a natural alternative to a cupboard full of harsh chemicals*.

Even better? It’s Aussie-made, easy to use, smells like the bush (in a good way), and actually works*.

First things first—what is it?

The Pure Oil Spray* is a light, non-staining aerosol made from just two key ingredients: pure Australian-grown Tea Tree and Blue Mallee Eucalyptus oils. These powerful oils have been used for generations to soothe, sanitise, and freshen everything from skin to sheets—and now they’re together in one sleek black can*.

Whether you’re dealing with itchy mozzie bites, minor cuts, stubborn foot odour, or just trying to keep your bedding fresh between washes, this spray has got your back* (and your knees, elbows, armpits and pillowcases too).

And unlike the leaky old bottle of disinfectant under the sink, there’s no need for cotton balls, diluting, or elaborate instructions. Just point and spritz. Job done.


Clear out the clutter—keep this instead​

Here’s the fun part. While many products stick to one job, The Pure Oil Spray* is a full-blown multitasker. Think of it as the Swiss Army knife of the natural remedy world*.

Let’s run through a few of its best tricks.

  • Bites and stings*: Spritz directly onto insect bites (yes, even bull ant attacks!) to calm the itch without aluminium sulphate.

  • Minor wounds*: Spray onto cuts, grazes and blisters as a natural antiseptic—no burning, no fuss.

  • Foot issues*: Got Tinea or Athlete’s Foot? Spray between toes to help fight fungal flare-ups naturally.

  • Acne-prone skin*: Mist your pillowcases and sheets between washes to kill acne-causing bacteria.

  • Surface sanitiser*: On the road? Spray over tray tables, phones, keys, or even the telly remote at your Airbnb.

  • Air freshener and decongestant*: The eucalyptus scent is like a bushwalk in a bottle—refreshing, herbaceous and naturally cleansing. A few sprays on your pillow can even help clear a stuffy nose.

  • Natural mozzie repellent*: Skip the strong sprays—this deters insects without the toxic cloud.
And yes, it’s airline-approved (100g can)*, so you can take it with you on your next big adventure—whether it’s a weekend away in a caravan or a bucket-list river cruise.

Why seniors are keeping it in every room (and the car, the handbag, and the grandkids’ backpack)​

The biggest endorsement? Australians aren’t just buying one. They're buying three.

That’s because the Buy 2, Get 1 Free bundle* is so popular, customers keep a spray in everywhere—ready for anything*.

One customer described it as her "all-purpose spray"* for scratches, rashes, and even musty drawers in the Far North Queensland humidity.

Another sprayed it on an itchy bite the size of a 20-cent coin—twice a day for a few days—and reported the irritation and redness were completely gone.

And one seasoned traveller said it was a “game changer” for outback trips*: perfect for sanitising the loo, calming skin flare-ups, and keeping flies at bay.

When something this handy also smells lovely, looks stylish, and doesn’t make a mess*, it’s a no-brainer.


No toxic nasties, no stains, no worries​

The Pure Oil Spray* isn’t just about convenience—it’s about health too.

If you’re trying to cut down on harsh synthetic chemicals in your home, this is an easy place to start*. The spray contains no artificial colours, no preservatives, and no unnecessary fillers—just pure, bio-active essential oils grown on ETTO’s own farms* in New South Wales and Western Australia.

Even the packaging is thoughtfully designed. The sleek black aluminium can is lightweight, leak-proof, and won’t stain your clothes or bedding*. Which means no more blue goo from an old antiseptic tube wrecking your towels.

Aussie-made, senior-approved​

ETTO* was founded by Andrea Horwood—the same woman behind Invisible Zinc and WelleCo—so it’s no surprise the brand is committed to science-backed, plant-powered care*. Their products are available at Priceline and selected pharmacies, but you can also grab them online*.

Everything is made right here in Australia, using ingredients grown and steam-distilled in our own backyard.


One spray to rule them all​

In the end, The Pure Oil Spray* isn’t just another fancy skin product. It’s a practical, natural tool that simplifies daily life*.

Instead of managing six different tubes, sprays and wipes, you’ve got one smart solution* that covers your skin, your bedding, your boots—and even your breathing space.

It won’t do the vacuuming, but it might just clean up your whole first aid kit*.
