Verdict
Overall sentiment toward Skipper is strongly positive, with consumers praising the brand's commitment to sustainability, aesthetically pleasing reusable containers, and effective low-toxicity home care products. While the majority of users experience prompt service and reliable cleaning results, a small group has encountered product consistency issues and occasional delays with customer support.
offer discount but dont actually give you one, do not respond to emails (apparently they fall through the cracks). When you request refund because goods have not been dispatched, they dispatch & wont give you a refund until you return (takes 1 week to 10 days to arrive, where are they despatching from?). Really bad customer service
Skippers products are excellent. Well priced. They work well and take up so much less space by having refills in a tin rather than big bulky bottles/boxes in your cupboard. Knowing they are environmentally friendly is an added bonus. The customer service is excellent - quick to respond and very helpful. Shipping is speed too
Great product, love the packaging and the customer service has been exceptional. they clean just as well as the supermarket brands too. Never going back to old products. Yeah for Skipper.

Products made in Australia, with a few exceptions, all noted. Avoiding the use of plastic as much as practicable. Good value with refills postage free. Incredible scents with several products offering a variety of scents. Love the glass and tin containers, the look of luxury and helping our planet. So what’s not to love? ☺️
Luxurious laundry! Incredibly easy, clean, soft and smells great!! Would highly recommend the laundry sheets. And treat yourself to the cute Skipper tin, modern white look will suit any laundry look!!! Thanks Skipper for creating such an amazing product!!!!
The smell is fantastic, it leave your skin feeling so soft and clean. I can’t believe i didn’t start using this sooner. I’ve told all my friends and family.
I love the natural lemon aroma this dishwashing liquid has. And it cleans well. Paired with the new cleaning cloths= awesome. Good for me and great for the environment.
These naked dish tabs actually work better than the ones I used to get from Coles with all the plastic and nasties in them. I love a product that is Aussie made & owned + good for the environment. Plus I love the cute reusable tin.
Order was easy, Items came quickly, but some of the dish washer tablets were smashed. Have used in Dishwasher and have great result's. Will now look into other products to try.
Delivered in great quality as always, i love the smell of all the products, I always use to laundry sheet, handwash and universal cleaner. Moreover, dicovered new thing i love which is the Swedish dish cloths that wipes things clean and surprisingly easy to wash off food scraps. Also love that they offer delivery free for refill-only orders. And also they sent me a bunch of free foaming pump filters. The pump for handwash makes it super foamy
Love Skipper cleaning products! I thought it was really funny that this is what the Box says “99% of cats say this is their box of choice”
Refilling my products, these products are so good, the Universal Cleaner is exactly that, I don't need any other cleaner. Glass cooktop, kitchen tiles and benchtop clean with no streaking. Part of the order was incorrect, I'm still giving 5 stars as the problem was fixed super fast and with absolutely no fuss.

tins are air tight, tidy, look great, and keep water and moisture away from the various items we're using
The hand soap, universal cleaner and detergents ( dish & laundry) in this bundle have a beautiful floral fragrance that leaves the house smelling fresh and clean. The laundry sheets save time with the convenience of not having to measure out liquids. The soap tablets make refilling easy and mess free without the hassle of attempting to transfer… Read more
liquid soap refills into a smaller container. My dishes are sparkling, my clothes smell fresh and my hands are moisturised by the chemical-free soap. Everything comes packaged in beautiful, reusable storage tins. The delivery straight to your door is a great time saver at the supermarket. I enjoy being able to efficiently clean my house without feeling guilt as all products by Skipper are friendly to our beautiful Australian oceans.
No complaints here about the Skipper dishwashing set. The storage tin is great and the gel and container are easy to set up and use. Once prepared the dishwashing liquid is a bit thinner than ordinary so be mindful when pouring, but it suds up really well and the dishes are spotless.
Love the color feel texture and logo on the waffle blue dish cloth It’s holding up well day 5 of use not turning stinky so I’m impressed
This review is on the Skipper Laundry Sheets. We are first time users and have not been disappointed. Our clothes are coming out of the wash clean as you would expect and fresh. We will be purchasing more once we have depleted our current stock of sheets. The storage container that came with the order is perfect, well made and protects the sheets very well from harms way.
First time ordering from Skipper. I absolutely love everything comes in this bundle. I was a bit skeptical about it. I wasn’t sure how effective could these be in terms of cleaning, but they definitely do the cleaning just as well as those big commercial brands. By using skipper, the plastic waste is reduced dramatically, and saved my cupboard… Read more
space too. The design of the tin container and glass hand soap dispenser are simple and beautiful too. I even use the packaging boxes as an organiser for the cupboard as shown in the photos. Minimal waste and I think this is perfectly in line with “Skipper spirit”.
Latest follow-ups
Dishwasher tablets. I have tried another brand that had sheets that had to be folded, but Skipper has the tabs ready to insert into the machine. My dishes are also cleaner Show reply
Follow-up · I decided to finish the sheets that I had from another vendor, next thing I know there was a leak. I cannot say that the sheets were to blame, although there was some of the sheet that did not fully disolve. As soon as my dishwasher is reinstalled, I will come back to using Skipper tabs, no folding to fit the pocket, just tabs that are ready and… Read more
Fantastic laundry sheets and added bonus my laundry smells divine too ❤️
Follow-up · still love them- so convenient and can split them in half if i only have a very small load
Keeps our dishes and dishwasher cleaner and better for our septic tank
Follow-up · Perfect. Frys and cleans dishes and dishes washer much better

Positive reviews
I’ve tried laundry sheets in the past, must admit I really liked the white tin so hence I thought I give it a try and also the fact that the dishwasher tablets aren’t wrapped in plastic. They work really well, I’ve deliberately haven’t rinsed any plates (as I have to do with some other dishwasher tablets) and they came out sparkling clean. Will… Read more
definitely order those again. The toilet blocks aren’t something I normally use, and I wasn’t that wooed by them, based on the dishwasher tablets alone my rating would have been 5 star definitely. The laundry sheets are great too, but would like it if there was an option that leaves a scent on your clothes.Keep up the good work
We've been using Skipper Wash Sheets for a while and in a busy household of 5 adults we are very pleased with the results and convenience. We will continue to buy Skipper.
Everything about this very well priced product says luxury. The beautiful solid glass container the feel of the soap (not even slightly slimy) and the aroma. Importantly almost zero packaging- the best product I’ve bought in a long time
Negative reviews
Three stars for the container, but honestly, the tablets are a complete disappointment. They don’t even dissolve properly sometimes, and I’ve found the tablet sitting there completely intact after a full cycle! Needless to say, the dishes aren’t clean and I end up having to wash everything again. What’s the point of a dishwasher tablet that doesn’t dissolve? Definitely wouldn’t buy these again.
I really liked the idea behind the Skipper toilet blocks. The container is super cute, practical, and easy to keep near the toilet, which made the product appealing in the first place. Unfortunately, the actual toilet blocks didn’t live up to expectations. I used the entire pack, from memory there were around 20 blocks, and found that each one… Read more
only lasted a few days per toilet before completely dissolving. Because they disappeared so quickly, it didn’t feel very cost-effective or long-lasting. While the packaging and concept are great, the product itself needs better longevity to make it worth repurchasing.
I've just edited this review to a 1 star. Have been a customer since the Tirtyl days for many years. Started using the foaming hand soap and have tried starter packs of other products. Some are not so good and have not bought again. Had been happy using the French made dishwasher tablets, but switched to the Aussie made Naked ones which had been… Read more
a complete disaster and I would not recommend the Naked dishwasher tablets at all. They absorb moisture, swell and stick together creating a mess (even in unopened packets) and don't always wash well. I honestly can't emphasize how bad these are after opening my last bag of naked tablets. The entire 100 tablets were all stuck together as a big blob, I had to cut the bag in pieces to remove the contents. The moisture sachet in the packet was glued to the tablets. I've already been in contact with Skipper and they have replaced some but not all of the Naked tablets I purchased. The dishwashing packet is also a bit of a gluggy mess to make up and find I have to use more of the product compared to other dishwashing liquids so the Skipper product doesn't last as long. The last order of toilet blocks were purple. Now my wife loves purple it's her favourite colour but these last only a few days before you need to pop in another one. But I have to ask, why on earth would you create a toilet block coloured purple. Purple+ your number 1 = brown or a grey. It doesn't look good. I mean what ends up in your loo doesn't look good but you don't need grey/brown water to make it look even worse. The products are no longer hitting in our family, and as much as we have supported and used Skipper's products for a few years, they are now expensive given the poor quality of products we've used lately.

Skipper Essentials Bundle: Loving the product so far, asked for variety of scents and received, which was great as we know have chosen our faves. Slowly changing over as product runs out. So far loving the dishwasher tablets (no more strong chemical smell YAY) Handwash - works well, economical, variety of scents so you can choose. LOVE the… Read more
glass bottles, very classy.
All Purpose Cleaner - have been a fibre technology user for umpteen years (HaRa Fibres/ENJO fibres). BUT for a little extra oomph this does the job and love the fragrance.
Laundry sheets - yet to use as daughter has a stockpile (buys in bulk) of liquid to use. AND have to work out how to use sheets and turn off auto dispenser, but based on other products I expect we will like.
The Bundle has changed and now includes the dishwashing bottle and refill tablets ... so bit disappointing as we now have to order in our next refill (which we had just received when we realised we didn't have that).
All in all I would recommend Skipper to anyone who wishes to reduce their plastic use and disposal. And Australian Business!
ADDIT: If your in a van, where weight is everything I highly recommend SKIPPER as you only have to carry tablets (sheets for laundry) for a refill saving on that all important weight.
Have ordered Dishwashing kit as am so impressed with SKIPPER
Skipper waffle cloths- Great for streak free cleaning. I love that I can re-use them over and over again, I throw them in the wash to freshen them up ready to clean again.
