Blast Dishwashing Detergent definitely was a Blast – I only found out yesterday after visiting the IGA store in Mascot, NSW (not all IGA stores stocked it) that they have deleted Blast Dishwashing detergent. It had been quite sometime since I was last there, as I had purchased 3 bottles, as we know it goes a long way, and does a fantastic job. I like other posters on this product are in the same… Read more
wash-up (excuse the pun). I still have 3/4's of the last bottle of the 3 that I had purchased.
After reading the post where they have stopped manufacturing the product, as it was difficult to either get it on the shelf or keep it on the shelf in large and small supermarkets, like other small Australian products that are being squeezed out. But what happened to the stock on hand or that was being made, surely not poured the drain? Surely not, that they only manufactured enough product to cater for orders!
It would be an ideal situation to sell the product online, even through Amazon Australia or on EBay/Gumtree.
Again, like others have said, very dispappointing that Blast is not available anymore. I shall treasure the remaining product I have left.
20/2/19 - tonight I used the last of the Blast product that I still had. It took 4 months to use 3/4's that was left. I had begun using Earth that was recommended by the Blast people. My initial review of Earth was not as good as Blast. So will use this for 2 weeks and review it.
This is why you can't get it – Thank you for contacting us, Unfortunately over time the Big two supermarkets had stopped ordering Blast, I regret to inform you that this product has been deleted and will no longer be manufactured or offered for sale from major supermarkets and other retail distribution outlets in Australia or New Zealand. We apologise for this occurrence and… Read more
agree that it is an unfortunate situation and one which our company strives to avoid. However, products are deleted where insufficient consumer sales and limited retail distribution occurs. As a products' sales decline, the competition to remain on limited supermarket shelf space is extreme. it had just become not viable for us as a company to produce this range any more only for Independent Supermarkets.
Our best suggestion if you are looking for a new dishwash liquid is Earth Choice dishwash concentrate available at Woolworths, Coles and Independent supermarkets.
Sorry we cannot help further - it has been very disappointing for us to have to cease manufacturing such a good product.
Puts the Multinationals to shame – Thank you product review for putting me onto this product. I must admit that I was a Morning Fresh user for many many years. I feel a little stupid admitting this. Blast is so much better ....soooooo much. Let me give you an example. I have one of those Weber bbqs with a trivet - a grill - which I roasted pork roasts over the christmas break. The… Read more · 2
multinational product couldnt cope with cleaning it. The suds disintegrated at the sight of the grease from the grill. In contrast, I soaked the grill in the sink with Blast for a few hours ( I forgot about it) and when I came back, the water was cold. However, I wiped the grill off and all the burnt on pork came off. When I drained the sink, I noticed that the grease was still in solution. Previously, the Morning Fresh wasnt able to cope. It's not magic. It's because the Multinational product has been so watered down, that it has lost its cleaning power. As for the Multinational food chains dropping Blast from their shelves? Well, you gotta protest your mates dont you?

Nothing (good) lasts! – Good products by good companies always get squeezed out. Find something really good and guaranteed before long it will disappear. The power of the big two supermarket chains. We, the consumer, would gladly pay more for BLAST. It was the best dishwashing detergent; THE BEST. So sad that it is difficult to buy good products in this country. I… Read more
would even order a box of Blast if they sold it online. Happily pay the shipping and handling fees. By-pass the retail stores completely.
Blast! Blast is gone but Earth Choice Dishwashing Concentrate is here yay! – I loved Blast but then it disappeared off supermarket shelves. Then Earth Choice Dishwashing Concentrate showed up and to my amazement I discovered it's the closest thing to having Blast back again. Not sure if it's Blast re-packaged and with a formula kinder to the environment but I haven't bought anything else since
Bring back Blast detergent – I found it to be the best detergent on the market i have been trying to buy it, they always take the best of the market. Blast was great on my hands, nothing else comes close Show details
I have been using for a short period of time for the few dishes that l have and found in the supermarket – Great for me and leave hands soft and the smell brings back alot of memories hard to find in our supermarkets bring then back and maybe in a bigger bottle Show details
The best ever! – I have been using BLAST since I first found it on supermarket shelves and I have always found it to be far superior to any other brand I have ever used. It makes all others look like they have been watered down and it is by far the best grease-cutter ever. My stocks have now run out and we are having to use other brands which I find to be simply rubbishThe best Show details
Want it back on the shelves – Like others, I have been buying this product 3 bottles at a time. Am so disappointed that the stores are no longer stocking it. Why? No other product does a good job like Blast.
Frustrated that Blast has been discontinued – I agree with the other recent comments - this detergent has been terrific. I would have been happy for the company to increase the price to continue its availability. It always works really well, doesn't have an overpowering perfume and doesn't affect my skin negatively like other brands do.
Why has all the supermarkets taken Blast off the shelves – First Coles, then Woolworths now IGA have stopped stocking the best diswashing liquid. I can't use Fresh i've allergic to it since I was a child.that was 36yrs ago. Shame on all the supermarkets, now i don't have a clue on what to use.
Nothing beat it! – It was such a great product. Shame on Woolworths and Coles trying to compete and fail. It's a shame when Australian companies are not supported by big supermarkets who could set a good example.
Best Dish washing liquid available now disappeared from shelves??? – Does anyone know where we can buy this from in South Western Australia please . Maybe good product for Aldi seems how big supermarkets have deleted it from shelves. It is a superior product.

Bring back Blast Concentrated – I have been using this product for more than 10 years. It is the best in the market as it does not have chemical smell, gentle to skin and very economical. I think it is also a healthy choice. Hey, supermarkets, this is a really good product. Please bring it back to your shelves.
Where has 'Blast Dishwashing Concentrate' gone? – This is the ONLY product which has the body to cut through grease in the kitchen without using bucket loads of detergent. Just a couple of drops is all that's required for the average wash-up. The bottle of Blast is easy to handle, a very easy dispensing top and just a damn good, very cheap to purchase product.

Blast not such a blast – Been able to buy IGA Gulgong, West Pymble & Warriwood but not any more, where are you blast? Are you no more, really why, when you are such a fantastic product.
Sorry to see it go – I have been using Blast for many years and I am sorry that it has been discontinued. I always found it worked great on greasy surfaces and left my hands feeling soft. I am now down to my last bottle. And hope that one day it may reappear.
Best grease cutting dish washing product by far! – We thought this was just a temporary supply issue - don't want to believe that it is final! This product works so much better than the major commercial brands. I hope that the decision to cease production will be reconsidered. Washing baking dishes in an eco - sensitive area, dependent on rainwater was made so much easier because Blast was so effective. Very disappointing!
Blast was the best – That is very disappointing as it was the best dishwashing liquid available on the market didn't dry out your hands and cleaned dishes even in cold water. So sorry to be without what a shame. Karen Newnham, Bundaberg
I always stocked up, and the one time I didn't it's discontinued?! – I am so unbelievably upset that this has seemingly been discontinued, especially since I had always purchased in bulk before, but for some reason lately I'd been slacking and only buying one bottle at a time. Well, now I'm paying for that as I cannot find it anywhere. This stuff always left my dishes spotless, it was just the right balance of… Read more
thick and concentrated that you never needed to use too much, yet were always left with a superior clean. I realise it sounds quite silly to be so devastated over the loss of a cleaning product, but who doesn't wash the dishes every day? I'll also miss the fragrance of my favourite, the blue one, it always reminded me of blue slush puppies.
Best dishwashing cleaner ever – Very sorry to hear that it has been discontinued. After the majors stopped selling it and our local IGA followed suit, I could see what was happening. I still have about 10 bottles under the sink but I’m so pleased I bought them. Next, Earth Choice. Damn and blast!
Unbelievable loss – I can't remember how long I've been using Blast detergent. As Foodland often runs out I can only think a lot of other customers use Blast so how can sales fall so low they stop making it. There is not other detergent I want to buy, as a creature of habit more than satisfied with Blast detergent I would have stayed with it for life. Extremely happy with Blast detergent but equally as disappointed with Blast being taken of the market.

Awesome if u can get it – Always leaves my dishes sparkling with much less product than any other brand its the Best dish liquid out there ! Just very hard to find now . Can sometimes get it in iga so i always buy 2
Brilliant stuff – Morning fresh and fairy too sudsy. Used blast for Window Cleaning today. Had the perfect amount of suds and cut through dirt better than them all. Will stock up on this for sure.
Lasts long and cleans well – What I like about this concentrated dish detergent is that it lasts long and produces so much bubbles. I usually dilute in a little bit of water because it is concentrated. It is really effective in cleaning plates as well as pots and pans. It also does not leave strong chemical smells into the dishes.
Great Prosuct – This is the best dish washing liquid around, it leaves the others for dead... Everyone should pressure Xoles and Woolworths to stock it again.. Ring them and Fax them... It's not right that we can't buy it there any more..
won't use anything else – Sad that the major have stopped selling it, i can still get it at IGA, i'm sad that woolworths and coles don't stock it any more, i'ts such a great product and i have used it for years.
Best for stainless steel! – I bought this based on reviews and wasn't expecting much. i have some laser engraved cutleries that I love so much but after many washings the laser engravings turned dull and I could hardly see them anymore. This is despite hand washing them and not putting them in dishwasher. After the first time using blast, the stainless steel cutleries… Read more
sparkle like new! I could see the laser engraving again that I love so much! Thank you blast. Please keep on stocking this! You can buy this from IGA.
about average – I used to buy the blast dishwashing liquids when I used to live in Sydney and they used to work quite well as it used to lather up well and had a good smell good though I didn't find them to be as good as Palmolive dishwashing liquids
Love Blast – I to am disappointed with Coles Woolworths for not stocking Blast is the only detergent that doesn't dry my hands out, have tried others. It cleans all the dishes just great, love Blast and that it is Australian too !!
Blast Dishwashing Detergent - Wonderful Australian-made product! – Both Coles and Woolworths should be ashamed of themselves for taking this great Australian-made product from their shelves!!!! I have been able to purchase this product from the IGA stores. This is such a good product.
Best detergent available – After years of using Palmolive dishwashing detergent and similar products by multi-national companies, I decided to look for something that actually worked i.e. removed grease from cutlery, plates and pans, didn't leave a coating on glasses and left everything sparkling clean. Someone recommended Blast. Being skeptical by nature, I was pleased to find it is so much better than the expensive, ineffective, heavily promoted stuff I used to buy.
Woolworths Coles – Reason not on Woolies and Coles shelves,too cheap too good and they do not make enough profit out of it,plain and simple,another reason to force the public to take an alternate product with double the profit margin.Yes IGA stock it and many small local owned supermarkets,they listen to their customers,knowing they will shop elsewhere if they don't.Support your local business and not the multinationals.
Blast Concentrate Dishwashing Liquid – If you wash your everyday cutlery using Blast Concentrate and very hot water you will be pleased to note that it comes up like new. It isn't over perfumed and doesn't leave a taste on the item. So impressed with the product that even though I shop from a wheelchair I go monthly to IGA just to buy my stash and a couple of extras for others to try. The quality of the wash is like its been through a dishwasher - every time!
Woolies and Coles – Blast is a great product and the two major retailers should be ashamed for taking it off the shelves, I'm off to IGA and stock up and I'll most likely spend a few Dollars there as well that I would have spent at Woolies or Coles. Show reply
