As we age, the tasks we once found simple can become more challenging, and cleaning is no exception. For many of us in the over-60s club, the thought of getting down on our hands and knees to scrub away at stubborn grout lines can be daunting, if not downright impossible. But fear not, fellow seniors, because there's a new tool on the block that's making waves in the cleaning community, and it's available at our trusty Bunnings Warehouse.

The product in question is a battery-powered cleaning brush that's been hailed as 'elite' by professional cleaners for tackling filthy grout. Priced at a reasonable $26, this nifty gadget is powered by four AA batteries and oscillates 60 times a minute, significantly reducing the amount of physical effort required to clean those notoriously difficult grout lines.


Renee, a professional cleaner who shared her insights on social media, praised the brush for its ability to remove grout discolouration and grime, as well as for reaching into those tricky corners and crevices. The convenience of this tool cannot be overstated, especially for those of us who may have mobility issues or simply want to avoid the strain of manual scrubbing.


owever, Renee also acknowledges that sometimes the old-fashioned way is necessary, which is why she keeps a $4.99 Sabco soft grip grout brush in her cleaning kit for those tougher jobs. It's always good to have options, and a manual brush can get into places even the best gadgets might miss.


For those pesky toilet bowl stains that seem to resist all efforts, Renee recommends the $14.49 Peerless JAL 1L One Shot Thick concentrated acidic toilet bowl cleaner. Her tip is to apply the cleaner, leave it for five minutes while you tackle another chore, and then return to find the stains much easier to remove.

To ensure the homes she cleans are left sparkling, Renee uses the $8.29 Hillmark Steelkleen stainless steel cleaner. This product is excellent for removing marks, streaks, and smears on stainless steel, providing that beautiful finishing touch that makes everything look brand new.

But one of Renee's favourite cleaning products is the cult-favourite Gumption, a $6.98 cleaning paste that works wonders on walls and sinks. It's always great to have a multi-purpose cleaner on hand that can tackle a variety of surfaces.


When it comes to cloths, Renee uses dusting cloths to dust surfaces before cleaning them and microfibre cloths for wiping surfaces down after. These cloths are gentle yet effective, and they don't leave behind any lint or streaks.

All these supplies are neatly organized in a $7.99 cleaning caddy with a handle, making it easy to transport from room to room or even from house to house. It's a small investment for a lot of conveniences.

Interestingly, Renee admitted that her most used cleaning product and tool wasn't included in her video. It's a simple dish wand filled with vinegar and dish soap, which she claims is a secret weapon for cleaning mirrors, showers, and sinks – pretty much everything, to be honest.
