How we rate disinfectant brands

Our review compares disinfectant brands on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which disinfectant brand they think is best!



Canstar Blue surveyed 2,091 Australians for their feedback on the disinfectant brand(s) they’ve purchased and used in the last year.
  • The outcomes reported in these ratings are measured via PureProfile’s accredited online research panel.



Respondents rate their satisfaction with their disinfectant brand(s) from zero to 10, where zero is extremely dissatisfied and 10 is extremely satisfied. Brand satisfaction was rated by respondents on the following criteria:
  • Value for money: How satisfied are you with the quality of the disinfectant for the price you pay?
  • Scent: How satisfied are you with the disinfectants scent and its intensity (i.e. pleasant, not overpowering)?
  • Effectiveness: How satisfied are you with the cleaning and disinfecting power of the product?
  • Ease of use: How satisfied are you with the ease of application and use of the disinfectant?
  • Packaging: How satisfied are you with the packaging, including ease of opening, usability, and size options?
  • Finish quality: How satisfied are you with the disinfectants ability to clean without leaving visible streaks or residue?



The winner is the brand Aussies rate highest for the things that matter most to customers, based on overall satisfaction. To see how we crunch the numbers, check out our methodology page.
