‘I can’t find it’: What happened to ALDI's famous $2.80 product everyone loves?

It's the little things in life that can make all the difference, especially when it comes to those household staples we've come to rely on.

Imagine finding a product that works wonders, is easy on the wallet, and then suddenly, it's gone without a trace.

That's the conundrum facing many ALDI shoppers as they stand bewildered in the cleaning aisle, asking themselves, 'Where is it?'



The product causing such a stir is none other than the $2.80 Power Force Mould Remover, a cult favourite among bargain hunters and cleanliness aficionados alike.

This isn't just any cleaning product; it's been hailed as 'magic' by those who have used it to combat the persistent problem of mould, particularly in the damp corners of Australian homes during the wetter months.

The disappearance of this beloved item has sparked a wave of concern and confusion across social media, with one cleaner's social media post igniting a group-wide discussion.

'I worked as a cleaner for the last three years, and it is by far the best for mould! Especially at that price point,' they claimed.

‘Is someone able to advise if this item is no longer being stocked? We’ve tried three ALDI stores and are mending a broken heart, trying to figure out how to live without it—it’s like magic.’



The sense of loss is palpable among the ALDI faithful, with comments ranging from hopeful to downright devastated.

‘I haven’t been able to get it for months. Hoping it’s a “re-brand” and will be back soon, lol,’ one user said.

'I am devo, I have searched as well. Nowhere,’ another shopper lamented.

‘It’s the best. I can’t find it either here in Brisbane,’ a third shared.

The mystery deepened as customers shared their theories and snippets of information, some claiming insider knowledge from store managers and employees.

One shopper relayed a hopeful message from her son, who manages an ALDI store.



‘My son said it's a “discontinued” line at the moment, it's been replaced by an alternative until they can get supply back,’ she said.

‘He said, like the Windex or whatever their window cleaning product is (I buy real Windex in the 5L drum from Big W…had it for years), it was replaced with a similar product, and now it's back. So hang in there and keep your eyes open.’

‘Manager of my local store said it's coming back he just doesn't know when. Hopefully it's soon,’ another said.

Amidst the speculation, an ALDI spokesperson has come forward to reassure customers.

‘Our exclusive range of products is specially curated to deliver the absolute best quality at the lowest possible price, and the enthusiasm customers have around the Power Force Mould Away Spray is a testament to this,’ the spokesperson said.

‘This incredible product has been a customer favourite for many years, and we can assure our customers it is certainly not discontinued.’
