Is Aldi washing up liquid good?

37 replies

I don't usually shop in Aldi but was googling to find something better than the washing up liquid I've been using (own brand), and their name came up as top!

I've only ever found Fairy to be any good but apparently they out rank them?

I might pay Aldi a visit as I like shopping their when I do, prefer Lidl and Morrisons if I'm honest, but if the washing up liquid's good it'll be worth a visit. Plus they have battered haggis Grin

Bunbaker because I also get sore hands from wearing marigolds, so I simply use the original washing up liquid which doesn't cause a reaction. Is this ok with you...? Hmm

We tend to get thought the standard Aldi bottle very quickly so I think that's a false economy but the premium bottle (79p) is excellent, every bit as good as Fairy.

I used to only use fairy, hated any cheaper alternatives, but v happy with the aldi one.

As someone said up thread, don't get the pink one, it really does smell like cat pee. For weeks I get thinking the cat was peeing in the kitchen.

it always comes out top in "Which" tests.

They have two types, the "Premium" one being better.

I use the cheaper one, I like the grapefruit flavour, as have softened water so very easy to clean things.

I didn't realise there were two types. That explains why the large bottle DH bought didn't work as well as the previous (small) one! I was so disappointed with it I went back to Fairy. I'll obviously have to do my own shopping in future.

I use their smaller one, the cloudy green one which I can't remember if it is aloe vera or cucumber. Tis fab and certainly knocks the socks off asdas own brand which I'm currently using because I ran out of the Aldi one and it was all I had in the back of the cupboard.

I noticed that they'd changed the packaging and it didn't seem as good The one with the flip top has changed to a push up/down lid. Seems more runny and not as bubbly.
No they've got everyone in they're starting to cut the quality of things.

I'll stick with Cussons Morning Fresh!

I've used it for years. Supposed to smell of lemon, but I think it smells of delicate orange. Extremely economical, 675ml for 50p at Savers. Better than Fairy IMO.

Sounds good from reviews :).


My absolute favourite is Tesco economic active range this was my review...

'' Never ever in my life have I felt the need to write a review but I was dying to do so for this washing up liquid and also the cleaning spray. Oh wow im not exaggerating they are SHEER PERFECTION!!!!! I even ended up taking before and after pictures to show people why I recommended them! I gave away my full litre bottle of expensive fairy pomegranate liquid and genuinely said I will never ever use anything again! PLEASE PLEEEEEEEASE NEVER STOP MAKING THIS RANGE I BEG YOU!!!!! Bought this washing liquid and pink cleaning spray too. Only £1 and works A TRILLION TIMES BETTER THAN fairy etc... Genuinely!!!! It peeled off burnt on Porridge WITHOUT a cloth even touching the pan and after seeping for just 3 mins. I even ended up trying it on my floors and boom amazing results and then tried it on and removed RUST!! After just 2 mins being left not scrubbed or anything! Nothing and I mean NOTHING including pots and pans have needed clothes/sponges etc. Every single I have washed and/or sprayed as genuinely been left sparkling (oh and you only use half to one teaspoon yes TEA SPOON!).AMAZING price, INCREDIBLE cleaning, economic friendly and not tested on animals oh and smells divine. Heads above KNOWN BRANDS which I honestly will never touch again! Please please please DO NOT ever stop making the range!!!!! Speechless about how incredible this range is and wish everyone could see how perfect it is and wish I could give more than 5 *. JUST WOW! Thank you so much for this wonderful range! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!''
