Wouldnt touch it...
Hey Nick
I brought a box of the Colour version, used it on some dark T shirts and it left unremovable white marks on them . That was on the Denim and dark garments programme on the Miele which has higher than normal water levels as well. Got a refund on the powder and could have put a claim in for the T shirts but as they were only cheap work ones didnt bother..... Seamus | ||

Almat Bio with stain lifter has been around for a few months now. I got some but wasn't overly keen. It washed ok, didn't remove all stains and I felt it was a bit harsh on fabrics. Maybe it's just me and the fact that in the back of my mind cheap washing powder = poor product. I do wonder how Which? came to the conclusion that this powder is a best buy, I presume it's based on value for money as well as cleaning ability.
Having said that I have been using Magnum washing up liquid for ages and really like it, certainly better than other supermarkets own brand. I do think Aldi is a great supermarket, I do the bulk of my shopping there. They have great deals on fresh fruit and veg but it does take a bit of time to suss what are the good products and which ones are rubbish. CLICK HERE TO GO TO paulc's LINK | ||

Which?
Good on Aldi they deserve yet again another Which best product. Magnum dishwasher tabs & original washing up liquid are great especially the thickness of the liquid it reminds me of just like what Fairy liquid was like in the 80s & it last forever. The Almat colour & bio powders i find clean just fine on the correct temperatures, but just one annoying thing is that they don't flush that well out of the soap dispenser on cold fill only machines but on my hot & cold washer that is not a problem.

Aldis Products
Ive been very Impressed with their products, I love Aldis Original Washing Up liquid, and Magnum dishwasher tablets are excellent, everything comes out lovely and shiny, and £3.99 for 40 tablets is good, I shall have to buy some Almat Powder to try when I need to buy detergent again, as im currently using up the last of my Ariel and Daz tablets, I hope the scent of almat has changed, as I wasnt keen on the scent of the powder the last time I tried it.

Cannot Speak To Aldi's Products Per Se
But Consumer Reports here and other sources have been touting supermarket brands as excellent in both quality and value for money for a few years now.
Time was when some store brands were most always bottom shelf in terms of performance and quality. That seems to have changed as major store chains have stepped up their game. Many have taken a page from Walmart and use their buying power to create products from the same makers as TOL brands but at less cost. In these tough economic times this has not gone un-noticed by consumers and many are switching, much to the dismay of the market leaders such as P&G. That company has seen sales of it's TOL detergent, Tide fall as consumers seeking to stretch their budgets go for lower priced brands. Much to their surprise they are finding out the store/lower priced brands perform just as well as the TOL versions (yes, that includes Tide) and never switch back even when good times arrive. For the past year or more Tide liquid has been on sale at one shop or another in my area. Indeed if one shops carefully one need never pay full price. | ||

I love love love Aldi! I do the majority of my shopping there. There fruit and veg is always fresh and there own-brand products are just as good, if not better, than a lot of well known brands.
I've had nothing but positive experience with Magnum dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid. Both do a great job and are excellent value for money. I have only ever tried the Almat Colour tablets and I was fairly impressed, especially for the price. I'd say they were on a par with Bold and Surf, and certainly a darn sight better than any supermarket own brand I've tried. I may have to try a box of the colour and bio powder. Does anyone have any experience with their fabric softeners? | ||

Chris,
Nice to find another fan of Aldi! I like most of their fabric softners. A couple smell a bit "chemically" but on the whole the range smells nice and not too over powering. Not waxy like comfort and doesn't gunk up the dispenser. I haven't tried any since I got my dryer so I don't know how well the softners stand up in that department. I think I may give the powder another go, in hindsight I was probably over critical. I was speaking to my sister last night and she commented on how clean the Almat bio powder I had given her had got everything. Her partner is a tree surgeon and comes home filthy and she said Almat did a great job on his work clothes as well as the kids stuff.

I never had an issue with either Aldi or Lidl in London. Certainly they were fast, but simply asking them to go 'a little slower' always seemed to work....and if you load their conveyor the same way you wish to pack your trolley, then all the better.
On another note, we do the vast majority of our shopping here in Aldi. However, their locally made detergents are rather foamy....they still clean brilliantly, but rinsing can be an issue. | ||

Our store here staffing is only 8 people work hard and long hours. Manager has very long hours. But Aldi is good place to shop. | ||

Ditton In The United States
Once one has moved over the management or even certain salaried positions, overtime is not given. In theory you are paid the same wages regardless if you work 40 hours or 80 hours within a week.
Right now you are hearing allot about workplace "balance". Employees are getting fed up with spending nearly 9-12 hours per day every day at the office, and or having to come in on weekends/not taking vacation or other off time. When this economy improves you are going to see one huge mass wave of persons telling their employers to stuff it and seek greener pastures elsewhere. It has only been the bad economic climate that has made many keep their heads down or otherwise deal with the situation on the ground. When those threats die down, all bets are off. | ||
