Aldi Expands Laundry Sanitiser Range for Enhanced Value
Doing the washing is one of those household chores that never seems to stop. However, Aldi has introduced a change that could make this task a little more manageable. Fans of the supermarket giant’s laundry sanitiser recently discovered new bottles on the shelves that are double the size. An Aldi spokesperson confirmed that the new 2L size is here to stay, priced at $6.99 in a statement.
“We know our shoppers value quality and convenience at low prices,” said the spokesperson. “That’s why we’ve doubled the size of the Di-San Laundry Sanitiser, giving Aussies more uses in every bottle at an ALDI price that works better for every budget.”
The smaller 1L size was previously priced at $3.99, making the new 2L option a more cost-effective choice. This is especially appealing for many Australians during these times when grocery shopping is a priority.
Positive Reactions from Customers
The announcement has been met with enthusiasm from customers. TikToker Mikaila Jae shared a video on the platform highlighting the new 2L bottles. “They only ever used to have the smaller one,” she said. “You know I’m a fan, so this is HUGE! At @ALDI Australia.”
Her post received numerous comments from users who have been using and loving the product. Many mentioned they use it specifically on their sheets and towels.
Benefits of Using Laundry Sanitiser
Laundry sanitiser is designed to eliminate bacteria and germs while leaving clothes smelling fresh. With winter sickness on the horizon, having this product on hand can be particularly useful. It’s not necessary for every load of washing, but some people claim it can improve the smell of musty towels and even the washing machine itself.
Other retailers like Coles and Woolworths also offer various brands of laundry sanitiser. One TikTok user shared her experience of using laundry sanitiser for the first time last year. She usually relied on vinegar but found the switch to a sanitiser beneficial.
“Noticed instantly the laundry was smelling better and I clean my [washing machine] tub, my washing machine gets a deep clean. Took away all the smells,” said jewellery designer Laura from Mermaid & Bear.
Expert Insights on Usage
Fourth-generation dry cleaner Zachary Pozniak provided insights into what laundry sanitiser is and how to use it in a TikTok video. He cited a study by academics at the University of Arizona, which indicated that laundry sanitiser doesn’t need to be used daily and doesn’t protect against viruses.
“The only time you need to use a sanitiser is for specific illnesses like stomach flu, diarrhoea and that’s because these specific bacteria can live in our clothing for weeks and get other people sick,” he explained. Pozniak added that laundry sanitiser should be used after clothes have been washed with a good detergent.
While laundry sanitiser isn’t needed to kill all infectious illnesses, it does seem to be effective for removing odour-causing bacteria. If you’re struggling to get rid of smells from clothes, towels, or sheets, it might be worth trying.
Conclusion
Aldi’s decision to expand the size of its laundry sanitiser offers greater value for Australian consumers. The positive feedback from users highlights the effectiveness of the product in improving the freshness of clothes and the overall cleanliness of the washing machine. Whether you’re dealing with musty towels or simply looking for a more efficient way to keep your laundry fresh, the new 2L size could be a game-changer.
