The fragrance takes a bit of getting used to...

published 9 months ago

I truly believe we are conditioned to assosciate frangrances and colours with products we use - if you had a chicken chip in front of you that looked like a cheezel, you would not associate the two without the yellow/green tones of flavourings we usually expect to see. Same goes for window cleaner, the blue colour, the chemical like smell of windex - I really think we are conditioned to think this is right.

Now look @ Cove, firstly you cannot see the colour, but the mint smell....hmmm...it does take some getting used to. But the actual pro...

Read moreduct works so well. I used this with the microfibre cloth in their starter kit and it worked just as well as any other window cleaning product I have used - no streaks, not a lot of elbow grease either - a pretty good product in a fantastic looking bottle - well worth the try if not to just for the oddly appealing mint smell.

Purchased in August 2020 for $50.00.

This is terrible. It's legitimately bad.

published 11 months ago

I purchased this today and thought to myself if it's going to beat Windex, and it's refillable, it's going to be a game-changer.

Sadly, it's no good. It smells like toothpaste and leaves streaks, a dull haze and take forever to evaporate. It takes minutes instead of seconds.

I like to think of myself as a bit of a cleaning product connoisseur - a glass cleaner needs to:
1 - leave no streaks
2 - leave no haze
3 - evaporate quickly
4 - remove oil & films which build up on glass - fast
5 - evenly distribute quickly...

Read more6 - offer great value optional: 7 - smell pleasant 8 - look pleasant 9 - be (holistically) good for the planet Cove fails on the following: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 Number 9 because I fail to understand how an aluminium bottle is any more re-usable than a plastic bottle. Especially considering the upfront ecological cost of that aluminium bottle compared to the plastic bottle. How many plastic bottles would need to be used to offset that aluminium bottle? and what is the duty cycle of the plastic sprayer head worth? Could it outlast the aluminium bottle? How many refills before that fails? and Cove refills while smaller and are in concentrates (good) are made of 'mixed material' packaging (bad). Your packaging consists of metal foil bonded to 2 different types of plastics - which is not recyclable. Do you know what that means? Your refills are landfill or worse yet; incinerated. If you had simply used a plastic bag, like softener refills from conglomerates like P&G do at the super market, it would have been more eco-friendly, and more recyclable. (the cheaper, the consumer (me) could have saved some, instead of paying for frivolous plastic straws on shiny foil packages) I do believe you can however drink this product and get drunk - it is possible, if the surfactants used are not poisonous, that the ethanol (which might be why mint is used as a scent here) is fit for consumption. I must stress I have not tested this and nor do I recommend it or condone it. Don't drink Cove windows cleaner. Just because it comes in an aluminium can; there are far better value options out there. (ironically, for you and for your glass) So, if you want streaks on your mirrors, a dull haze where the product has been on your glass, and something which doesn't evaporate immediately, just save your monies and use tap water with mint scented dish washing liquid - don't even bother with this product. If however you want all the above features and you want to ruin the planet, there's no better choice than Cove, by Earth Choice - grab some today! BUT ON A SERIOUS NOTE: I actually drained this Cove product (remember, it's actually Earth's Choice - so blame them). It was so worthless to keep it around. I ended-up simply putting in the 1/3 of Windex I had left into the Cove Aluminium bottle. Because the bottle is nice at least. (until it breaks... then I'll throw it)

Purchased in September 2019 at Coles for $5.00.

Grease splatter

published 11 months ago

Just tried the glass cleaner on the kitchen splash back. Cooked steak last night and of course grease splatter went onto the glass splash back. The glass cleaner this morning cleaned it off effortlessly. Thanks Cove!

Purchased in August 2020 for $49.95.

Cove does it again!

published 11 months ago

I am so in love with this range! Streak free glass is so hard to achieve. Well, not anymore. Cove have developed a great glass cleaner that IS streak free. OMG! No hard rubbing is required either, so easy to use. The scent is not overpowering and fresh. Love that it is natural and again, doesn't leave me with asthma or a headache.

Purchased in August 2020.

Amazed by the results, smells so good

published 12 months ago

Honestly I was skeptical that a natural product would clean my mirrors well. This was better than windex and left no streaks! Smells minty fresh, I’m obsessed! Great packaging too

Purchased in August 2020 at Coles for $13.50.

Streak free and fabulous

published 1 year ago

Cleaned mirror and glass without any streaks. Sprayed on easily, left a light film when I wiped but then dried in a couple of seconds to a streak free finish. Great product
