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.
The fragrance of the laundry sheets smells lovely and fresh. In fact when I unpacked it the fragrance permeated the kitchen and laundry...:-) The reason I did not give them 5 out of 5 is first wash I hand washed some light summery items and some of the colour bled. I feel the concentrate might be much than anticipated in smaller loads. While that… Read more
concentration is welcome in dirtier larger loads I did not expect it from a natural laundry product. Regardless of being offered a small chance to be selected for a gift card on the basis of a review I will always tell you as it is when reviewing products and you can see that in earlier reviews when the product and service does not pass the pub test in my personal experience and personal view.
These cloths changed my kitchen forever! Super absorbent and last for ages, when it comes time to replace them I wash them and use them as bathroom/toilet cloths before composting them
TLDNR: LOOKS, SMELLS & FEELS LUXURIOUS. I'd been looking for a stylish pink foaming soap dispensers and came across the Skipper blush. It was a great price, so i grabbed the duo starter kit. I wasn't expecting to actually use the soap refills, but when i opened the tin they smelt so good i had to try it out. I have the Vanilla, coconut and chai… Read more
in my bathroom, and it not only smells divine but feels luxurious on my hands with a lovely moisturising effect. I'm hooked and plan on trying the bodywash and cleaning products next. 10/10 Definitely recommend!

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
I was abit skeptical when first trying Skipper dishwashing tablets, as I had used other similar products with disappointing results. However having now used the Skipper dishwashing tablets I am very pleased to say they worked well. Tea stains were removed and glass came out gleaming. I will now be keen to try their other products
Follow-up · The skipper dishwashing tablets continue to work very well. I'm very happy with my change to a more environmentally friendly product.
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

Positive reviews
I love everything I have from skipper! The handwash, body wash, dish detergent, toilet blocks, laundry sheets, universal cleaner and the face wash. I was amazed by the laundry sheets! My whole life I had only been able to use one brand of (overpriced) laundry powder or I would break out in a reactive rash so I was incredibly pleased that when I… Read more
tried the laundry sheets, I finally had an eco friendly alternative to use at home, where I didn't have to be touching laundry powders all the time. Furthermore, my kids love it when it's time to refill the hand wash, they love dropping one in and will sit and watch for at least 15 minutes as it dissolves.
The hand soap with classy glass dispenser is really nice, although I find the scent too subtle and wish it was stronger to enjoy the aroma. Dish washing liquid is really good (pleasant lemon scent) and dishwasher tablets are excellent - no funky smells in the dishwasher and everything is perfectly clean. The surface cleaner has been pretty… Read more
impressive too - again, I wish there was a stronger scent to enjoy. The nicer something smells, the more you want to use it... But I can barely smell anything. Body wash - this is the only one I have struggled with a little. I wish the foam was denser for a more luxurious feel and a more aromatic experience. The foam disappears very quickly so after washing for a few seconds, it stops gliding over your skin nicely and so you have to keep adding more pumps of foam. I tried a few different sponges and eventually realised thin cheap towelling face washers worked the best. Laundry sheets - I've only tried a couple of these so far as they came as a free sample and I'm quite impressed with them. I've already ordered more.
Overall I love the core concept of reducing single use plastics and omitting the nasty chemicals. Ordering was very easy and it's very affordable to buy refills and to make this a permanent switch (another key reason I tried it). I'm keen to stick with the Skipper products, even the body soap - although I hope this one gets better over time. Shampoo and conditioner are the only products missing from their range that I wish I could buy at Skipper..
I initially just wanted the dishwashing tablets, but thought I would try the starter bundle. Things I love, love, are definitely the dishwashing tablets for many reasons - they're made here in AU and they don't have that plastic to cover them, they clean well and don't have a strong smell imo. I also love the hand soap, although I didn't realise I… Read more
was going to be back in a chemistry class making all these products out of tablets hahaha! My partner thought I was crazy, I thought it was the coolest yet the most random thing I ever done. I would definitely purchase the hand soap refills. The dishwashing liquid is good as well, it is actually quite foamy and makes enough bubbles, according to my partner. The all-around cleaning spray is also great - I love the bottle, do you sell them? haha. I just love the feel of all the containers and bottles, it feels very bougie. The laundry sheets - I'm still uncertain about them. I love that they can be used at any temp, we wash at 40-60 degrees depending on what items. I have to admit, it is hard to tell whether it was the same cleaning power as Biozet or Omo for example (sorry, ex-cloth nappy mum here!! - clean laundry is jam), as I usually boost it with half a scoop of stain remover powder. The extra produce bags are nice, but we have plenty, I didn't feel it was necessary to have more, and the shopping bag is cute, but again... we have so many already! But I appreciate the love. I will recommend skipper to my mum friends for sure.
Negative reviews
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
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.

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
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
