Dimono
Cleaning balls

The Dimono brand cleaning beads are stainless steel cleaning beads that can be used for glass containers .
The cleaning beads remove stains and residues from the bottom of the glass container.
To clean, the beads must be placed in the desired container and then water is added. The cleaning effect of the beads is achieved by swirling the container around.
The cleaning beads impress with their sustainability and environmental friendliness. They make it possible to dispense with chemicals for cleaning. A positive aspect to emphasise is that the beads can be used again and again.
Containers with hard-to-reach areas in particular can be cleaned effectively using the cleaning beads.
In the event of a defect, the manufacturer provides an immediate replacement or offers the option of a refund.
The cleaning beads were convincing in practical tests due to their uncomplicated use and effectiveness in cleaning.

  • Easy cleaning of hard-to-reach areas
  • Uncomplicated application
  • Sustainable product made from 100 % stainless steel
  • It is desirable to indicate that the product is not suitable for children

This product was delivered in a cardboard box that is well suited to the size of the product.
Inside the box is a small bag containing the stainless steel cleaning balls, which is wrapped in plastic. It would be desirable for the manufacturer to consider a more environmentally friendly packaging option.
Instructions for use are not included with the product , but are not absolutely necessary as the use of the product is self-explanatory.
A warning that the product should be kept safe from children would be desirable.

When you pick up the beads for the first time, you will notice their even finish and uniform size.
The cleaning beads are stored in a plastic container with a black lid and can be stowed away again after use.
The stainless steel beads are tiny, smaller than the head of a pin. Due to this size , it can be assumed that the beads can be moved easily in the container to be cleaned and that they will not cause any damage to the inside of the glass container even if they are placed in the container before the water.
At first glance , the cleaning beads appear to be of high quality and, due to the fact that they are made of stainless steel, it can be assumed that they can be used for a long time.

The cleaning beads from the Dimono brand were subjected to a thorough practical test on various glass containers.
In terms of cleaning performance, the cleaning beads were completely convincing. Thanks to their small size, they also reach areas that are difficult to clean and remove residues.
In terms of handling and user-friendliness, it should be noted that cleaning can be carried out in just a few simple steps: The beads are placed in the container to be cleaned, then water is added. The cleaning effect can be achieved by swivelling the container. In the practical test, cleaning was very straightforward and took very little time.
There are minimal deductions in terms of handling, as the bag that can be used to collect the beads after cleaning has an opening that is slightly too small. However, this can easily be avoided by using a fine sieve to collect the beads, for example.
Overall, the cleaning pearls are easy to use and can be stored safely and easily in the container included with the product after use.

In the practical test , this product impressed with its uncomplicated handling and good cleaning effect .

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.1 stars. Some criticise the fact that the supplied bag, which is intended to collect the beads, has too small an opening . On the other hand,the cleaning function and uncomplicated handling are positively emphasised. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the cleaning beads have a good cleaning effect on various glass containers. The criticism levelled by consumers that the opening of the bag was too small could generally be understood . A very fine sieve is ideal for collecting the beads.

Prices of up to €9.49 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €7.90 . With a price of €7.95, the Dimono cleaning balls are therefore currently in the lower price segment. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
