The $1.99 Aldi laundry detergent so good a shopper claims it removes stains without soaking
A bargain Aldi laundry detergent is getting rave reviews online, after one man revealed how well it worked compared to a more expensive product.
The man posted about his experience with the $1.99 Laundrite laundry detergent in the Aldi Fans Australia Facebook group.
He decided to try the cheaper product after using Almat, which costs $5.49 for a 2L bottle at Aldi.

Laundrite worked so well for him it removed stains without soaking or pre-treating them.
"It's amazing. For example, I had several small blood stains on a hand towel as a result of injuring my finger a few days ago, and it's removed them without soaking in my standard BubbleWash cycle. Other long terms stains have also washed out of my hi-vis work shirts without any pre-treatment. Love the apple fragrance too," he posted.

Other Aldi shoppers agreed with the man's comments, including some who have been using the product for years.
"Have used this for over 20 years," a woman said.
"I use this all the time now. It's been really great," an Aldi fan commented.
"I find it works just as well as the very expensive brands!" posted one.
"I love it, tried it out of curiosity a month ago. Would never go back. It's great!" another said.

One shopper claimed Laundrite was so good it is able to revive the rugs she uses for her horses.
"I use it on my horse rugs in my crappy old machine! It makes them look brand new and my horses absolutely destroy their rugs, so if can get them shiny white it's gotta be good!" she said.

For those who don't shop at Aldi, one person said Laundrite laundry detergent is "the same" as Clean laundry liquid apple splash, which is $2 for 2L from Woolworths.
"I checked the ingredients. Same," they said.

Both Woolworths' Clean laundry detergent and Coles laundry liquid lemon fresh have also had positive reviews in the Facebook group Mums Who Clean.
Knowing so many shoppers have had success with $2 laundry products should be welcome news to consumers as we try to look for ways to save money during the current cost of living crisis.
