If there’s an area of your home that usually gets overlooked when it comes to regular cleaning, there’s a good chance it’s the floor. It may be directly under your feet, but how often do you really think about it? We’re all so concerned about benchtops, sinks and kitchen appliances that we often forget about one of the greatest harbourers of dirt and bacteria – the floor! Where do you think that dropped food and mud from your shoes end up? Clean floors are essential to a healthy home, especially if you have young ones that crawl around. So, which floor cleaners will be the best bet for maintaining a clean and healthy floor? Our customer satisfaction ratings can offer a helpful guide.
This year, we surveyed more than 1,300 consumers across Australia for their feedback on the floor cleaners they have purchased and used in the last 12 months. Respondents rated brands on effectiveness, ease of use, smell, packaging design, environmental friendliness, value for money, and overall customer satisfaction. Those that received the minimum required survey sample of 30 responses are featured in our results.
Bosisto’s glides ahead as the top-rated floor cleaner in Canstar Blue’s annual ratings for the second year running, after rating five stars in all categories!
Here are the best floor cleaners in Australia, as rated by consumers in Canstar Blue’s latest review:
Bosisto’s rated best with five-star reviews in all research categories, including overall satisfaction. Earth Choice similarly made an impressive mark on consumers, receiving full marks for value for money and environmental friendliness. Pine O Cleen achieved the same result for ease of use.
Bosisto’s isn’t just for soothing colds or freshening your laundry, but also for cleaning your house with natural ingredients. The brand offers a range of natural cleaning products with locally sourced essential oils, primarily eucalyptus oil. The products are also claimed to be free of palm oil, vegan, not tested on animals and 100% Australian-made and owned.
Bosisto’s has just one floor cleaner in its range, retailing for $6. It’s suitable for sealed wooden floors and can alternatively be used in bathrooms, kitchens, and other surfaces. Bosisto’s products are available to purchase from Woolworths and independent supermarkets.
Whether you get on your hands and knees and scrub, or lean on your trusty old mop or steam mop, you will undoubtedly need a floor cleaner that lives up to its dirt-busting promises. This means removing any stubborn stains you can see on the floor – and handling those tiny bacteria particles you can’t see. You’ll also want a floor cleaner that’s easy to use and represents good value for money. Our research this year identified the following drivers of customer satisfaction when it comes to buying a floor cleaner:
The majority of Aussie shoppers surveyed have tried multiple floor cleaners (41%), while one in three (37%) stick to the same brand and one in four (27%) opt for whichever is the cheapest or on special.

Canstar Blue surveyed more than 3,000 Australian adults across a range of categories to measure and track customer satisfaction, via ISO 26362 accredited research panels managed by Qualtrics. The outcomes reported are the results from customers within the survey group who have purchased a floor cleaning product in the last 12 months and have used it to clean their floors (note: this only includes products for non-carpet floors such as wooden or tiled floors etc.) – in this case, 1,343 people.
Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included. Results are comparative and it should be noted that brands receiving three stars have still achieved a satisfaction measure of at least six out of 10. Not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The ratings table is first sorted by star ratings and then by mean overall satisfaction. A rated brand may receive a ‘N/A’ (Not Applicable) rating if it does not receive the minimum number of responses for that criteria.
