Dettol Original Antiseptic Liquid, For First Aid and Hygiene, 750ml

Bought for multi purpose use and as expected does what it says. Distinctive but clean smell and leaves surfaces fresh and sterile. Recommended. Also useful for cuts and wounds when diluted.

My husband fell and badly grazed his hairline. It was a deep cut which was infected with neverending pus.(sorry) I tried absolutely everything from the remnants of TCP( no longer available), creams etc and finally tried a bit of Dettol on cottonwool 3 times a day and within a week it has healed completely with just a pink scarline. Dettol Magic!!

As described , dettol is great for any minor cuts and grazes etc, when diluted in a few caps of warm water !

Great nice fresh smell

I had to purchase this one because I had a serious problem with the other brands' version (what I usually use) - they sent me potent, highly-concentrated, CHLORINE, instead of the Gentle, Safe Antiseptic Disinfectant that was advertised, which is seriously dangerous!! So I decided to play it safe and purchase from a different, trusted seller! I find this useful, but was not fully aware that the ingredients are completely different to the other brands' version that I used to use (although it is a very similar product). The main problem I have with this one, is that it specifically states to NOT use it for "dry skin conditions", but also CAN be used for "dandruff"(?)… a bit of a mixed message there, as dandruff is technically a dry skin condition... But, nevertheless, I still need to use a gentle/safe disinfectant on my wounds that are caused by dry skin conditions, so it is a bit of a catch-22 situation - I decided to put some into empty shampoo bottles and add water + head & shoulders into all of them & TCP into one, shea butter into another, an so on... to fully maximise it's efficiency. I accidentally managed to get a large portion of undiluted product on my face AFTER I vigorously rubbed it with a towel after scrubbing it clean and removing the dry skin - essentially opening-up those tiny shallow wounds (and the deeper split-wounds) over my face & ears and experienced an alarming stinging/'burning' sensation (akin to light acid), for a short period of time... This was relieved after using the shower-head to continuously spray my face with warm and then cold water (to open, clean and close my pores + wounds) - I initially tried to wash & splash my face with water in the sink to no avail and had to quickly use the shower-head! It left NO permanent damage to my skin and any signs were completely gone after 10-minutes! There was initially some severe 'reddening' as my skin is super-sensitive to even the slightest touch (even lotion & E45 makes my skin 'sting') but that + the stinging sensations completely dissipated after 10-minutes! This should NOT be used undiluted, that is not clear on the packaging/label, unless you read it carefully, BUT, I knew that anyway, it was just an accident as I forgot to wash my hands after handling it when it leaked from the bottle mixtures when pouring small amounts into them all. It smells like any ordinary pine-based cleaner/s, somewhat potent and certainly lingers for a while on surfaces, even after washing - it is a concentrated mixture that is advised to use approximately 1-2 tablespoons per 1/4 - 1 Litre of water (which is good because it will last a lot longer, if used correctly and is watered-down (diluted) like some other products - just be sure to read the instructions that are DIFFERENT for each individual use/purpose). As a multi-purpose disinfectant, it can be used for an array of reasons, even for personal hygiene (if advised by your doctor), so it is highly versatile in that respect. Dettol are a very famous and reliable household name that specialise in trusted cleaning products like soaps, disinfectants, anti-bacterial & other household cleaners - they're a seriously respected company. This is a super effective antiseptic that shows signs of improvement in certain conditions/symptoms shortly after the first use, sometimes up to a week, depending on the circumstances... I notice a significant change/improvement in skin/wound health almost immediately, within a few hours after using it, which actually speeds-up the healing process of wounds and eliminates a large majority of skin issues/complaints that I regularly experience! The symptoms dramatically decrease over the course of the next 24-hours, sometimes being completely eradicated by the following day, even without re-applying the solution to the affected site/s! With the other brands' version, it can also be used to disinfect/sterilise your laundry (used in the washing machine, or directly on the clothes themselves, prior to washing), but I would NOT use this product in my laundry, because it has completely different ingredients/properties and is not one of the main uses - in-fact, it is NOT even on the list of uses within the instructions on the label (unlike other antiseptic disinfectants!)… Which is a shame really, because I was hoping it consisted-of similar ingredients as the other version so I could bathe in it and also use it in addition to my laundry gel, for that 'perfect' washed-laundry... I should have checked... But all is not lost, I can still use it for my skin & wound conditions/issues. The cost is not extortionate - it is pretty reasonable, considering how long a single 750ml bottle should last... even for a large family, the bottle should technically last, easily, a good few months, to over 1+ year/s (if used in accordance to the guidelines and as necessary; correctly). In conclusion, I definitely recommend this antiseptic product - just make sure to use it sparingly and with caution (overuse is an ill-advised practice), it is an effective form of treatment for minor, to severe wounds/hygiene-related conditions (even for spots/pimples). ***(UPDATE)*** I have been using a 'dash' of this in my full-body shower ritual (disclaimer: I use the following mixture on my WHOLE body + face & head - with absolutely INCREDIBLE results!); I have transferred 2/3 of my Pro-Expert Complete 7 Head & Shoulders from it's large pump bottle into multiple other shower gel + cream bottles and then added: - a dash of THIS Antiseptic into each of them - I also added a generous helping of water - a bit of the normal Head & Shoulders - a tiny bit of T-Gel into x2 of the bottles - Shea Butter Cream - a little bit of E45 + Aveeno Lotion and mixed it all up well (shaken vigorously)... (I mainly use the Pro H&S large pump bottle)... It has produced the ULTIMATE Anti-Dandruff AND Skin-Softener & Rejuvenator, that has impressively reduced/removed nearly ALL of my dry skin problems that I have, in various places around my entire body... This is such an excellent & effective solution, that worked so much better than I could have ever anticipated/imagined! Literally, my Most-affected areas like my: permanent rough/bumpy skin on the back of my upper-arms, the skin-splits at the top & bottom of my ear (where it connects to the head), the dry skin that forms on the sides of the nose, the random sternum rashes & dry skin behind the ears - even all of the dry, flaky, crust/split skin across my scalp has DISAPPEARED since using this mixture! Nothing, and I mean NOTHING really worked as I would have liked it to, before I started adding some of THIS antiseptic into the mix!.. It's even a main use for this product (as instructed on the bottle), to help treat dandruff, etc... I used to try all sorts for nearly 2 decades and nothing worked as well as it should have - not like how this worked anyway! ***

Love it makes me smell clean and fresh use it every bath time 🙂

This was an excellent buy 3 for the price of 2 and came well packaged and lids even taped so there could be no spillage from the bottles, highly recommend purchasing from this company as not only excellent price but excellent packed and delivery was the same with the courier

This is such a household essential and excellent value in this large size. It cleans and disinfects thoroughly, leaves surfaces fresh and safe, and is great for first aid, cleaning cuts, or general hygiene around the home. The bottle lasts a long time and you can dilute it exactly how you need it for different uses. I would never be without it.
