Shocking $6 ALDI laundry product makes mum say goodbye to detergent forever!
- Replies 30
There's something almost magical about stumbling upon a hidden gem at your local supermarket. It’s not quite finding a veritable pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, but it can certainly feel like it, especially if it happens at ALDI, a store known widely for its varied assortment of products. An Aussie mum recently sent waves of excitement through social media when she shared her fantastic find—a $6 ALDI laundry product!
‘I’m never going back to detergent,’ she proclaimed, after being stunned by the product’s effectiveness.
To quote directly from her post in the active ALDI Mums Facebook group, she said, 'I'm absolutely blown away. My washing is so soft and clean. And it smells so clean.'
The product works in a simple manner, allegedly eliminating the traditional use (and resultant mess) of detergent by using ceramic beads instead. You just throw it into the washing machine with your laundry and let it work its magic. Think about the convenience, the mess you avoid, and how much you could save on the ever-rising costs of laundry detergent!
Not surprisingly, when the happy customer heralded her discovery and expressed her delight about her revamped washing routine—imagine going from measuring and spilling detergent to simply tossing a ball into the washer—other ALDI Mums fans were thrilled.
'I have to share this because I’m absolutely blown away,' she wrote with enthusiasm in her post.
Expecting scepticism, she even explained her laundry routine that now only involved using one of these incredible balls and a cup of white vinegar with clothes, doubling the quantity when washing more substantial loads like towels.
Earning the name of 'incredible balls', this $6 ALDI product is quickly becoming a favourite, especially for the environmentally conscious among us. The ball provides another green alternative to take care of our laundry needs and reduce our use of detergents.
The secret to the laundry balls' fascinating performance lies in the ceramic pellets housed within the plastic shell. Each ball is filled with tiny bioceramic beads made from natural minerals such as tourmaline, which is known for its far-infrared and negative-ion-generating properties. These pellets exert a strong magnetic force field during the wash cycle, which changes the properties of water on a molecular level.
This process essentially creates an environment where the water molecules are energised, enabling them to penetrate deep into the fabric at both a faster and more powerful rate, resulting in the breakdown of dirt and grime in the clothes. The result? Your clothes can be washed effectively using just water with little to no detergent involved. Fascinating, isn't it?
Notably, the laundry balls maintain the pH level of the water much like a detergent, giving the water a slightly alkaline pH level, which is optimal for deep cleaning. So it's no wonder that a significant number of the ALDIMums contingent seem to be smitten by these handy laundry companions!
However, like with every product, there was a wave of naysayers too. Some commenters felt it was a gimmick and not as efficient at tackling heavily soiled clothes as conventional detergents.
A report by the Australian consumer advocacy group Choice seemed to support this view when, in 2020, they tested six laundry balls on the market and found them all to be 'underwhelming'.
However, the mother who sparked this interesting conversation didn't mind the slight drawback. 'If it saves me a couple of dollars in laundry detergent in this current living crisis, [I’m going to] take it,' she concluded, reminding us of the essential element of practicality in daily living.
