    Now … I need someone to beat this price;)

  • Holy moly thats cheap
    Defs will be stocking up before the jsck up the prices!!!

    • +1

      Don't think they are going to jack up the prices. It's a clearance item, so once it's gone, it's gone.

      • Click & Collect
        Collect in 13-18 business days

        Just ordered 4!
        Worse they can do is refund

        • Same. Almost certainly going to be a refund with them still allowing click & collect/13-18 business days orders 12 hours later. There must be 11 zillion orders by now. There's no way they'll have enough stock.

    Ah, Ozbargain, I never thought I'd be this excited by Dishwashing liquid at this time of the hour. :)

    Thanks OP.

      You have very lucky dishes, Oversimplified. This soap is from the sacred forests of Hokkaido, renowned for its countless soap factories. He boasts that he will banish dirt to the land of wind and ghosts.

      • I think you left out the rituals that you have to go through, before you wash you dishes with this.
        In order for you to use this, you must cleanse yourself throughly beforehand, afterwards, you have to gather water from dews from the very top branches of 100 years old trees. Not to mention the haiku you have to offer to the gods, while washing the dishes.

        I am very very honoured to behold this magnificent dishwashing liquid.

  • Is the Sparkle Multi Purpose Liquid specifically a dishwashing liquid, or a cleaning agent for the kitchen, or both?

    • +1

      It's not a dish washing liquid, its just like other multi pour pose cleaners (for cleaning benches, tables etc).

  • I wonder how this would go in the dishwasher?

    • +16

      1.Open lid of bottle
      2.Pour into dishwashing detergent compartment

      • 3.Wait until your house clean itself

    • +8

      Only if you want a bubble bath in your kitchen!

    • +5

      In all seriousness, DO NOT use any kind of dish-washing soap in your dishwasher!

      It will wreck your machine and your dishes will not be clean.

      The proper dishwasher detergent is "low suds" and will not foam up, while the hand soap are "high suds".

      Good luck and hope you read this.

      Cheers!

      • Okay cool for some reason I thought this may have been for dishwashers rather than hand washing since it says it's also for windows…

        • +2

          The window cleaner is a separate product.

    • +3

      My friend actually flooded a holiday house that way, when she mistakenly used dishwashing detergent in the dishwasher. Filled the entire kitchen and most of the hallway with soap suds! It was like a big bubble bath.

      • Same with too much powder or laundry liquid in a washing machine (through the drain outlets.)

  • +2
  • Thanks now I've got enough to last me while I still live at home.

    • +8

      I dunno, in 20 years when you are still living in mom's basement you are going to wish you had just one more bottle…

  • +4

    I ordered $55 worth to get free delivery… Why.

    • +13

      Because nothing demonstrates status more than a delivery person hauling 55 litres of chemicals right to your doorstep.

  • +2

    Just ordered but after order went through it says it is on back order. Don't hold much hope that the order will be filled.

  • Which one would be best to use as wetting agent? Basically all I need is a surfactant with as little other ingredients as possible.

    Hit me up if there are any particular stores you want stock checked on the system. Celebrating POETs Day, so buggering off at around 3pmish :p

    • Richmond, VIC.

      • Zero for all 3…

        • Wonder how many they have online..that again, wonder when till they run out!?

        • @DEvok:

          The system is showing up stock at the CFC, but not for all sites though…

        • Any dishwashing liquid left at any store in Wa?

        • +1

          @mmd:

          Seems like i missed chucking the dishwashing liquid in my first comment… thanks for the heads up!

        • @vtdin1:
          Cheers
          Ozbargained at East Vic Park. :(
          The site is still allowing click and collect.
          I assume this is incorrect since it is listed as a clearance item?

        • @mmd:

          Generally speaking, if click and collect is allowed, it would imply that there is stock in the warehouse (as click and collect orders are usually fulfilled from the warehouse rather than stores. However, there are a few exceptions, but that's another story altogether).

          So, consider yourself very lucky if you see this and jump on it quickly!

        • @vtdin1:
          Surely all stock must have been exhausted since its now $4!
          East vic park still shows as possibly having stock, however I did not see it when I went there…

        • +1

          @mmd:

          Overall, still showing up stock on the system but in limited quantities.

          National stock levels are as follows
          SPARKLE DWASH LIQUID 5LTR, 23
          SPARKLE MPURPOSE 5LTR, 77
          SPARKLE WINDOW CLR 5LTR, 75
          SPARKLE PINE DISINF 5LTR, 55

          Stock showing for East Vic Park for the following items…

          SPARKLE DWASH LIQUID 5LTR
          East Vic Park, 5

          Best to call up the store to check if the have it.

          Would compile a new stock list, unfortunately, bogged down with work :(

        • @vtdin1:
          No dramas, I don't think there is much left anywhere.
          I've been to the vic park twice, since its my local with no luck. Stock is either hidden or pilfered.
          Thanks for all your help :) I've scored so many bargains: monitor, power bank, disnfectant, head phones

        • @vtdin1:
          Can you send me a pm?

    • Ordered some from Windsor, says collect in a few weeks.

    • awesome, thanks

  • +1

    Will this be like the Morning fresh dishwashing liquid of a few months ago that was so bad you need 1/4 cup for each wash?

  • +1

    Didn't read post properly at first - bought the spray'n'wipe, windex and pine-o-clean stuff but had to go back and buy the morning fresh stuff. Happy now that cleaning will be economical (ignoring all the con's that go with it).

  • Thanks.

  • Finally, an QzB deal that will make the wife happy!

    • +3

      BREAKING NEWS: husbands can clean the house too.

      • false

  • Does Sparkle Window Cleaner helps? I just hose it.

    • How do you clean the inside of windows then?

      • +1

        Hose it out .

      • multipurpose spay—- they smells better.

    I just bought this with click and collect from a store which didn't have stock, it said back order may take 13-18 days (which is fine, I don't need it immediately).

  • Ordered one of each.
    For 5 a piece,can't go wrong.

    • Be nice to get the dishwasher tabs on special too.
      I'm almost out.

    Not sure why this is a deal when I can buy dishwahing liquid from ALDI for $1/L any day of the week?

    Why is 250ml usually 2.50? Is it a concentrate? Apologies I have never heard of it

  • any better than the coles dishwashing liquid 1L for $1?

    • Which Coles liquid are you getting for $1 a litre? Cheapest at my local is $1.78 for Earth Choice.

        • Ah yeah I saw that today. Is it any good? I've never been game enough to try it.

        • @bonezAU:

          I have been using it for quite a while now, no issues, does the job.
          not as strong as the other brands, but I still dilute it when using.

          the 1L bottles are more convenient than the 5L.

          Though I would suspect the Sparkle stuff is better quality due to being branded, though have never used it.

          @bonezAU:
          Don't risk it. Too much of a gamble

  • Picked up one 5l bottle in store……

    Only one left.

    Had already ordered online before heading into town.

  • is the window cleaner similar to windex or do you have to rinse with water afterwards? never used sparkle before

    • +1

      I think it would be similar to Windex, it does say "Streak free formula" in the description.

  • Picked up the window cleaner and multi purpose cleaner via click and collect not long after I left store, had a phone call informing it was ready…..was told Monday for the dishwashing liquid.

    • which store?

  • Got some voicemail from officeworks saying theres no stock and they going to refund my mastercard. And that I NEED to call them asap, cant they just contact me on mail instead… hard to answer a phone when you work 7-18.00 …

    come to punchbowl store. ask to call online for pickup. wtf

    • Can you please has translator.

      Well, the item is out of stock, but they did not do anything about it, let customer waiting. this is what was happening to me when dealing with officeworks online.

    Ordered on 23/10/2015 [CC] from officework

    Waited…waited and waited. Called office-work today, who said will check the order and call me back in 10 mins.

    All of a sudden, I get an email saying that the amount is refunded

    Called 1300*** and they say that there was a system glitch and the NEVER had stock. What a bull**** response :(

    They also had no answer to why they had my money for 2.5 weeks and only refund the amount after I called.

    • My money was refunded the next day
      Your order must have fallen into a black hole that noone can ever explain.

    • Same thing happened to me today with an extra bit of ridiculousness..

      The chick on the phone says to me:

      "Sorry but what I can do for you today is refund your money back to your account"
      Talking like it's some bonus or some bullshit. No shit you're going to refund my money you dip shits, she said it 3 times like she's doing me a favour.

      Ridiculous service.

    • so it does look like Refunds are making their way

  • O'Connor store is selling the 5L Sparkle for $2! And yet they couldn't fulfil my order.

    • The online stock level is wrong.
      According to vtdin's search on 4th Nov, only the vic park store has stock.
      I've been there 3 times now and there is none.

  • Rang up and got a refund today. They didn't know why the order was just sitting in their system doing nothing, but it didn't matter because they didn't have any stock left anyway.

  • Finally today,after being told to wait and wait…..I got the refund on the dishwashing detergent for discontinued item.

  • 3 weeks, 3 fu***ing weeks they hold onto my money and then cancel the order on me. Load of bullshit.

  • +4

    Just got an email about product substitutions being offered.

    Item no longer Available — Alternative item provided
    Sparkle Dishwashing Liquid 5L — Northfork Dishwashing Liquid 5L
    Sparkle Multi Purpose 5L — Northfork Spray On Wipe Off Surface Cleaner 5L
    Sparkle Pine Disinfectant 5L — Nothfork Disinfectant Pine 5L
    Sparkle Window Cleaner 5L — Northfork Glass Cleaner 5L

    • Same email received here too.

      Must also add, I received a phone message from Officeworks saying I need to get back in touch with them regarding a refund. 2 hours later I received the substitution email.

    • Inferior substitute.

      • How can you tell?

        • Rrp

    • for the same price or do u have to pay the difference?

      • Same price

        • lucky!

      • Difference?? I'm asking for a refund as the sparkle ones are now listed at $4 and I paid $10 for them 3 weeks ago!

  • I bought 2 x multipurpose and 2 x disinfectant.

    Just spoke with customer service team who refunded the first order.

    I asked them to let me choose products as compensation which they did so I ordered 1 x greaser, 2 x handwash and 1 x toilet bowl cleaner. The total price of this order was around $80 but they agreed to do it for $20.

    Happy Ending however yet to receive to order confirmation email!!
