One’s a product in a bottle. The other is a bottle that makes the product.
In this showdown between Flash Wipe Done and the Toucan Eco system, we’re flipping the cleaning world on its head. Why keep buying plastic bottles when you could just make your own disinfectant at home—with salt, water, and a little electricity? It’s a clash of old vs new, convenience vs circularity, and conventional vs genuinely clever. So… does thinking outside the bottle actually work?
Let’s find out.

Verdict
Both Flash and Toucan score an identical, impressively high overall rating—a rare outcome that speaks volumes about their performance. These two products take completely different paths to reach the same sparkling result. Flash boasts an enormous volume of reviews and still holds near-perfect scores for both customer feedback and user experience—a remarkable feat. Toucan holds its own with strong scores, though its review base is much smaller.
Where things begin to diverge is cost. While Flash seems cheaper upfront, with the average UK household buying 20–25 bottles a year (totalling over £50 annually), the Toucan device—though a bigger initial investment—pays for itself in just over six months. Designed to last around 4 years, it ends up being the more cost-effective choice.
Finally, there’s convenience. Flash requires regular repurchasing and restocking. Toucan? Just salt, water, and 5 minutes of activation. One batch lasts about a week. If you’re ready to ditch the plastic cycle and take a step into sustainable innovation, Toucan offers a truly practical rethink.
With ratings so close, there is only really two barriers for Toucan for the switch in our opinion. If money is tight the initial outlay might put people off even with the long term savings. Secondly the amount of reviews which can only be fixed by buying and reviewing!
In our opinion, the switch is on!
❓ FAQs
Q1: Does the Toucan Eco really disinfect as effectively as Flash?
Yes. Toucan Eco produces hypochlorous acid, a proven disinfectant used in healthcare settings. It’s been independently tested to kill up to 99.999% of germs, just like leading chemical disinfectants including Flash.
Q2: Is the Toucan Eco safe to use on all bathroom surfaces?
Mostly yes, but with some caveats. Toucan Eco is safe on ceramics, plastics, glass, and stainless steel. However, it’s not suitable for fabrics, natural stone (like marble), or certain unsealed surfaces. Always spot test first.
