About Gilly's

Gilly's Australia is a family-owned and run business based in Perth, Western Australia, with a story that began in a home kitchen in 1983. Founder Gilly Stephenson, frustrated by the inability to find a quality beeswax polish in Australia for her beloved antique furniture, decided to make her own. Together with her husband Chris, Gilly produced the first commercially available batches of what would become Gilly Stephenson's Old Fashioned Furniture Polish.

What started as a homemade solution to a personal problem has grown into a range of 23 premium product lines, now available nationwide and overseas. Gilly's specialises in traditional and sustainable finishes for timber, using quality natural ingredients including beeswax to create polishes, oils, and waxes that clean, nourish, and protect timber furniture, floors, and surfaces.

Truly a small business success story, Gilly's Australia remains family-owned and committed to producing honest, effective timber care products the traditional way. Available at Double Bay Hardware, Gilly's products are the natural choice for anyone who values quality craftsmanship and sustainable timber care.

Great to find quality dish mops

Great to find quality dish mops. They aren’t easy to locate. Do the fragile and non-dishwasher items well. Can recommend this item.

Dish mops are great

Dish mops are great. Reach into the bottom of glasses that bristles just can't get too. Quality is good too.
