15 Of The Best Cleaning Products From Aldi

If you're looking for more affordable alternatives to your favorite name-brand cleaners, Aldi is the place to go. The retailer has hundreds of cleaning products available year-round (not to mention anything that pops up in the Aldi Finds aisle), typically retailing for significantly less than their name-brand counterparts. Whether you're looking for a few cartons of affordable disinfectant wipes, dishwasher pods, or even unique cleaning tools like spin scrubbers, chances are that Aldi has what you need.

We took a closer look at 15 cleaning products that customers say they love. To find them, we started by scouring Aldi's website and looking through its available cleaning products, then poring over reviews of each product on social media. We came up with a few products in particular that customers say are especially affordable, long-lasting, and effective. No type of cleaning product was left out of consideration, which means you'll find plenty of variety across this roundup. The next time you stop by Aldi, look out for these cleaning products that other customers highly recommend. Prices are accurate as of writing, but may vary depending on the location.

Radiance Citrus Automatic Dishwashing Gel costs $5.15 for a bottle containing 75 ounces. The detergent regularly receives rave reviews from customers. Aldi shoppers who have tried it say that this dish detergent is more concentrated than other brands, making it more effective at scrubbing away buildup and targeting grease. Because it's highly concentrated, customers also say that one bottle of the detergent lasts a long time. The dishwashing gel smells like citrus, and reviewers have only good things to say about the scent.

One pack of Radiance Lemon Scented Disinfectant Wipes contains 75 wipes and costs $3.25. The wipes target common bacteria, such as salmonella, strep, and MRSA, plus cold and flu viruses. This means that you can safely use them to keep your bathroom clean and spotless or properly disinfect your cell phone. Besides disinfecting your home, they're also great for quickly cleaning hard surfaces. The lemon scent will leave behind a fresh and clean smell, which makes these cleaning cloths especially useful for wiping down odor-prone surfaces, such as the interior of your trash can.

The Power Force Toilet Bowl Cleaner is an affordable bathroom cleaner, retailing for just over $2. Customers say it's an extremely effective toilet cleaning solution. Just pour the cleaner into the bowl of your toilet, scrub it, and let it sit. The Power Force cleaner includes bleach, which helps disinfect your toilet, get rid of mold and mildew, and eliminate any odors that are left behind. It's by far one of the most budget-friendly, effective toilet cleaners on the market, according to those who have tested it for themselves. We also compared it to Clorox Toilet Bowl Cleaner and found that it measured up to the name brand.

The Tandil Fresh Essentials Liquid Laundry Detergent comes with 100 ounces for under $6. It has a "mountain fresh" scent that customers claim isn't too overpowering. According to the bottle, one container of liquid detergent should last you 64 washes (and if you use the right amount of laundry detergent per load, you might stretch it even longer than that). The detergent can be used for stain removal as well as in your regular loads of laundry. For the former, simply rub a bit of detergent into the stain you want to remove, let it sit, and then give it a wash.

The Easy Home Universal Power Drill Brush Set has amazing reviews from customers. It will turn your drill into a trendy electric scrubber, saving you the pain of scrubbing your walls, tile, or even your car rims by hand. The set is available in blue and pink, both of which retail for $5.99. "Tired mom here who never has time to clean. Picked this up on a whim and it's the best $6 I've spent in a while," said one Aldi fan on Reddit. "It cleans fast and is very satisfying to watch. My bathroom looks great! 10/10." The set comes with three different scrubbing brushes: one large, one medium, and one small, so you can reach pretty much every nook and cranny. As you can probably guess from the price, the drill isn't included.

The Power Force Ultra Plus Triple Action Pacs are available in two different sizes: 18-count and 52-count. The former costs $3.75, while the 52-count pack is $10.99, and the 18-count pack is under the Ultra name, while the 52-count pack is called Ultra Plus (though they both deliver triple-chamber, grease-free cleaning). No matter which one you end up choosing, these dish pacs are a great deal more affordable than other name-brand dishwasher pods, packs of which are typically more expensive and come with fewer pods. Customers say Aldi's dishwasher pods are highly effective and leave dishes spot-free. If you've ever tried Aldi's Radiance dish pacs, these dishwasher pods are the rebranded version of the highly-rated Radiance product.

You should always wear rubber gloves when cleaning, which is why Aldi's Silicone Scrub Gloves are a must. Not only do they protect your hands from harsh chemicals, hot water, and germs, but they also come with a scrubbing pad on the palm of each hand. Rather than picking up a sponge to wash your dishes or scrub down your countertops, you can simply do it with one hand. The gloves are a recurring Aldi Find, and come in green, pink, and blue. Some customers say they've even used their scrubbing gloves to clean their pets, including horses. That's a multitasking household tool if we've ever seen one.

An extra-affordable version of the famous Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, the Power Force Cleaning Eraser Pads do the trick for removing scuffs and stains around your home. Customers say they use them in the bathroom and shower, or to remove stains from their countertops. Overall, reviewers say the magic erasers work well. Some customers argue that they don't last quite as long as other magic erasers, but most Aldi shoppers who have tried the Power Force sponges actually say they last longer. Either way, for just $1.75 per two pads, they're certainly worth a try. Maybe you'll finally be able to remove those stubborn stains from your solid-surface countertops.

Aldi's vacuums usually get a good rep. When we reviewed 10 affordable home items to buy at Aldi, an Ambiano cordless vacuum made the cut. The Aldi Finds aisle regularly carries portable vacuums of all different brands, typically under the Ambiano line. The Ambiano Handheld Wet/Dry Rechargeable Vacuum is one to watch out for. Customers say it's powerful and handy to use around the house for cleaning small crevices, and even for vacuuming your car. Reviews also note that the vacuum is lightweight and easy to carry, making it especially useful for quick cleaning tasks. The next time you see a handheld portable vacuum hanging around the Aldi Finds aisle, be sure to snatch it up.

Aldi's Easy Home Adjustable Spin Sweeper is a lot more enticing than a regular broom. The spin sweeper is basically what would happen if you mixed a broom and an electric scrubbing brush. The sweeper has a built-in dustpan and circular brushes that rotate as you sweep, pushing dust and debris into the pan. It comes in green or gray, and retails for $12.99. Some customers have stated that it can be a little challenging to figure out how to set up the sweeper and catch dirt correctly, but after a little trial and error, it's easy to use. As you sweep, the brushes swivel for straightforward cleaning. The handle of the sweeper is also adjustable.

This $2.99 cleaner is a favorite, according to Aldi shoppers. Customers say that the Power Force All Purpose Cleaner smells delicious (it's lemon-scented) and is an effective cleaning spray. One spray bottle contains 32 ounces of multipurpose cleaner. According to Aldi, it's made to be used across the entire home, including the kitchen and bathroom, and can double as a stain or grease remover. It also helps that Power Force cleaner is more affordable than most name-brand multipurpose cleaners.

Most reviewers like using Power Force's dishwashing liquid, saying it cleans well and is a good alternative to name-brand dish detergents. A 24-ounce bottle of Power Force Citrus Scent Dishwashing Liquid Detergent retails for $2.35 at Aldi. Generally, customers like the scent — although if you're not partial to citrus, Aldi carries a few other versions of this dishwashing detergent, including green apple and an unscented option. Both the citrus and green apple scents are also antibacterial.

The Power Force Non Scratch Scrub Sponge is a good deal, with a pack of three sponges costing $1.75. The sponges are two-sided; one side comes with a slightly more abrasive texture for hard scrubbing (without leaving any scratches behind), while the other side is made of soft and absorbent sponge material. Many customers agree that they're both durable and effective, though a few reviewers have said that their sponges tend to fall apart after a few weeks of use.

While it's true that bleach is bleach no matter the brand, the more affordable, the better. The Tandil Concentrated Liquid Bleach is inexpensive compared to other brands — at Aldi, you get 121 ounces for $6.45. Besides doing all the things that bleach can normally do for your home — disinfect hard surfaces, clean your toilet, and refresh your home after a bout of illness — some Aldi shoppers use Tandil bleach for cleaning their pools in particular. Since pools require quite a bit of bleach to maintain, the Tandil brand is good for affordable pool upkeep.

This Power Force Multi Texture Sponge is clearly inspired by the iconic Scrub Daddy, though it comes in a flower shape rather than a smiling face. It also only has a singular hole in the center of the sponge, rather than multiple holes (some customers say they prefer this structure). When filled with warm water, the sponge turns soft. Use it with cold water, and it stays firm, so that you have different scrubbing options. It's also scratch-free and costs just over $2 — an affordable textured sponge option. Customers debate whether this sponge lasts longer than the name brand. Generally, as long as you're not scrubbing with a vengeance, it should last some time. It comes in pink and yellow.
