ALDI Almat Laundry Liquid Concentrate
Verified61 reviews
As below, just used the new unexpected Clear liquid and is scentless and doesnt leave a good smell on clothes and smells like they need rewashing, so returned for a Full refund and will have to look at Woolworths/Coles etc. The White cloudy liquid we used for many years and was good. Show details
Best washing liquid I’ve ever used don’t understand the negative reviews it’s got. I have a front loader and this liquid has outshine them all, mind you some of the fragrances are over powering so I stick to the floral, plus I use half recommended measure I’m completely sold on it Show details
Formula changed & getting a refund tommorrow. They never changed the packaging which doesn't say anything about a new formula. Very deceptive as it still says "Enchanting Fragrance" on the label. New clear liquid is total rubbish. Clothes just wet, not washed, ZERO FRAGRANCE. So disappointed, this product used to be awesome & the fragrance & clean… Read more
was awesome. Consumers understand shrinkflation & the price of everything going up. Why didn't they just increase the price instead of ruining an awesome product. BAD DECISION!

All "Choice Reviews" are now worthless. Aldi has done a shifty on all its customers and changed their laundry liquid. It's a different product all together with no scent. My email asking for a response. All "Choice Reviews" are now worthless. Laundry liquid not listed as "new formula", why not? It used to be cloudy in colour, now it is clear… Read more
and without scent. People would rather pay more to receive the same product, you have served up the Coles $2 laundry liquid thinking none of us would know. There's a deception here to fool your customers. Maybe your supplier has deceived you? I have 2 x 2 litre products here, 1 x is great (original), the other has no sent and will be returned to store for a credit. What have you done here?
Rash, allergic reaction in toddler – My washing machine broke so I used my sisters machine for a couple of weeks and her almat liquid. At the beginning I saw my son had a red mark on his leg, then a few days later more appeared, looked angry and itchy and scabbed over, we have just got our new washing machine and haven’t tested our theory but since this happened right when we started… Read more
using almat and reading these reviews I have put 2 and 2 together.. We phoned the doctor last week and he was stumped, he has been prescribed amoxicillin for an infection and I will be calling them to update them in the morning!
I have been suffering for the wrong reason – I read that Almat Laundry liquid was one of the best for cleaning clothes though little is said about how, if you have sensitive skin, your body can flare up from head to toe with this uncomfortable rash. I have spent money on expensive healthy soaps— even my GP had no idea what was causing my rash. Thanks Aldi. I have had all my clothes, towels,… Read more
bed linen re-washed to remove the toxic Almat detergent residue from re-igniting everywhere it touched my body. One area at night is where my head rested on pillow slips that were washed in Almat detergent. My warm head itched annoyingly. wearing pyjamas made me itch, my feet would heat up if I wore Almat washed socks. Then I decided to re-wash everything with a well known laundry detergent. It is the only thing that saved me from further pain and total body irritation. It's the last you'll see of me Aldi. I will keep well away from any of your stores in future.
What this has done after washing bedding in this stuff – Bad reaction to this. Not amusing one bit. Trip to the Dr and antihistamines and E45 cream Show details
Positive reviews
I have used the Almat 4 L Tropical Escape for years and use it for washing all my clothes, mostly in a quick wash cycle. Not only is the price a winner for me but the clothes come out clean and they smell beautifully. Haven't used Fabric softeners for over a year. I definitely give it a 5 Star rating. Show details
$$ value – Best laundry liquid I’ve had, been using since aldis opened here, cleans clothes well and has a nice soft smell, no problems with allergies etc Highly recommend Show details
Aldi wins again – This laundry liquid is top notch it leaves the expensive brands in its wake, for a third of the price, it removes stains very very well and for really stubborn ones a little in a bucket overnight does the trick. I’ll never go back to the big brands again Show details
Negative reviews
I am not a fan of the new laundry liquid. I loved the feel an the smell of the old one. Been feeling itchy with this new formula. Please bring back the old formula
Since aldi have changed the formula in its almat clothes washing liquid, which used to be cloudy was ok now its clear and my whole family are having skin irritation, constantly scratching not happy and have stopped using it Show details

Useless laundry liquid – Not suffering any skin irritation so far but as far as cleaning clothes goes, it's terrible! The Aldi brand I bought earlier for $1.99 did a better job! Thought paying a bit more would be better but is the worst laundry liquid ever. Show details

Liquid is very good powder not so good – I have used the Almat liquid for 12 years and at $10 for 4L it really is great value. The formula has changed recently and is now a much thinner consistency than it used to be ,it is almost watery. They have diluted the concentration to keep the price from rising I assume. The cap also doubled in size compared to the older thicker consistency.… Read more
They really must think we are silly. This month I thought I would give the Almat powder another go. Terrible decision as it's even worse so I'll be switching back to the liquid. I just can't justify paying $30 or $40 to $50 on Omo, Radiant or Dynamo so the liquid does the job as it gets most thing's clean first time and I don't pre treat anything unless I really think it needs it. I always wash with cold water because a front loader cleans very well without heat so it would probably wash even better if I used a 60° hot wash with a stain remover beforehand but with two young boys that are constantly in the dirt and mud in white socks their clothes wash up very very well this way.
Rash on legs – I was wondering for ages what was causing my leg itching, mild rash. Then it dawned on me, I'd changed laundry liquids. Checked on here and then the penny dropped. Yep it's the laundry liquid. Show details
Allergy Skin Rashes – I developed a severe reaction to this product after just one use. At first I thought it was bed bugs, I even had an exterminator because the “bites” were so severe. They covered my whole right arm and leg, the side I sleep on. After I washed my trousers and shirt and wore them for two hours, I came home with intense itching across my legs, back,… Read more
and belly. Please do not use. It is not worth it. It is bad to the point that I look like a meth addict and have to cover up at work. The photos I attached only show half of the story. I have these itchy and blood busting spots on my arms, hands, feet, toes, and everything in between. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.
ALDI Laundry Liquid – For years I have been using Laundry Powder but in the last couple of years my skin has had a very bad reaction around the leg area getting skin irritations but since I have been using ALDI Almat Laundry Liquid I have no problems ( touch wood ) and it has a great fragrance which now I don't have to use Fabric Softener anymore. Every time when I… Read more
wash my clothes I can smell the Fragrance everytime I walk outside. It smells fantastic I'll never use powder ever again.
Product has changed – This was a good product, but the last bottles I used no smell and seems to be a thinner consistency and clothes not as clean. I did let Aldi know but no answers to my questions. Will not buy anymore. Show details
Itchy Skin Reaction – After 1hr of putting pj's on my 3 year old he broke out in this itchy, bumpy, blister like rash. He has never suffered from any other washing powder before. I am shocked! I'll never use Aldi detergent again. This was on his arms and torso. Gave him Clarityn Allergy and calamine lotion. Show details
This product made me itch from head to toe. I highly recommend doing a skin test before using this product – This product made me itch from head to toe and kept me awake Show details
Causes extreme allergic reaction – My son has developed an extreme allergic reaction (raised itchy rash) around his groin, hips, buttocks and stomach after his clothes were washed in this product. I would not recommend for anyone with sensitive skin. Show details

Harmful to my skin – I started using the yellow one in March and gradually developed skin problem on my chest area. I got irritated and rashes on my skin and it was itchy. Consulted 2 GP and they couldn’t find the cause. I came across this website and found the answer. I stopped using the laundry liquid immediately and washed all my clothes once more. Then my rashes and irritation disappeared. This product is harmful to our skin. Don’t use it. Show details
Terrible Product – I recently bought the Almat laundry liquid And after one wash I have come out in severe red/itchy rashes all over my body. How is this product still on shelf? Show details
Eczema – After months of having really bad skin rashes on my face,elbows, groin and back of my ears. And trips to the doctor and tubes of steroid cream. I finally figured out that this detergent caused my rashes. Great product to remove stains but harsh to the skin. Not worth all the trouble Show details
I like the fresh smell it gives to the towels and linen – I'm not sure how much I paid for it, but it is worth it as it is a really good product and I use it in every wash; BUT I preferred the handle nearer the top of the bottle (see left pic attached); as it was easier to manage; whereas with the new style (see right pic attached) ...all the weight is at the base; making it heavier to handle. Show details
Absolutely Horrendous!!! – Caused severe reaction with burn like welts on my arms, neck, shoulders and chest. The same type in the laundry powder also causes this reaction. It took me a little while to figure out what we causing it and now I know for sure. Don't risk it especially with your children as it takes weeks to clear and leaves unsightly scaring that doesn't go away!!! So so disgusting and disappointing.
Does this cause skin conditions? Probably yes – I have used this liquid concentrate for years but have, over the past year or so, developed extremely itchy and dry skin patches on my feet, legs, arms and groin. I can't find a list of ingredients anywhere that would enable me to rule out the likelihood of this product being the cause. Show details
Severe Skin Reaction – Tried out the Almat washing powder in the yellow box and unfortunately my son had a severe skin reaction and required an antihistamine to settle the rash. We used to use this brand regularly a few years ago with no issues at all. We do not have any known allergies or skin issues in our home. Show details
Would NOT RECOMMEND using on childrens clothes! With sensitive skin!!:(:( – Bought:- Aldi NEW Almat Coconut Crush Floral Liquid, around Xmas period to 'try' Sadly my Granddaughter had a MAJOR Allergic reaction with this product!! Horrible Itchy Rash!! Had to seek Medical Advice and subsequently shes been prescribed Antihistamine Syrup to try to get rid of her rash!! :( extremely worrying!! Especially with new reports… Read more
regarding Covid-19 side affects now being disclosed in younger children!!:(..) Product is way too concentrated for ANYONE with sensitive skin etc!! I will definitely NOT be purchasing this product again!! Very worrying 24hrs after allergic reaction that occurred!!:( (Back to my normal brand of washing powder now here!!!)
Not as good since the change – I am a regular user of Almat laundry detergent from Aldi and have noticed that since going to a new formula (a clear liquid instead of the thicker white one) the detergent hardly lathers up at all and seems not to clean as well. I am now looking for a replacement regular detergent. Show details
Disappointed – Used it for years, lately I have noticed it's not removing general dirt from T-shirts and my shorts. Hand towels are not clean even after setting my machine to 30min pre soak. So disappointed that now I am walking over to Woollies for laundry liquid. Show details
Product changed, don't waste your money – We have used the Summer Infusion (yellow bottle) for years and loved it. The past 2 months I noticed the liquid is thin and clear instead of thick and white. It's gone from a quality mid priced liquid to worse than Aldi's budget liquid...but yet the price remains the same? I've had to use more than usual to try to get the same result but to no… Read more
avail. After persisting with it thinking it might just be a bad batch...I'm now convinced I'm wasting my money. It's very disappointing! I will need to find an alternative from Woolies because Aldi now only offer the budget brand or the expensive brand. No thanks.
