Aussies have rated ALDI Power Force best in Canstar Blue’s bleach review. It earned five stars for value for money, packaging design and overall satisfaction.
Cleaning may be the least fun chore, but it’s certainly a rewarding one − nothing beats the feeling (and smell) of walking on newly cleaned floors or seeing your shower free of gunk and mould residue. Unfortunately, not all cleaning products are created equal. Sometimes floor cleaners and multipurpose cleaners just don’t cut it, and you have to hit the hard stuff ─ bleach. In fact, 44% of respondents to our survey use bleach at least once a week for cleaning.
To help you find the best bleach for your home, we asked more than 1,200 Australian consumers for their feedback on the bleach products they’ve bought and used in the last 12 months. Brands were scored on effectiveness, smell, environmental friendliness, packaging design, value for money and overall satisfaction. Those that received at least 30 responses are featured in our ratings.
Kicking off our inaugural bleach ratings, ALDI Power Force steamed ahead with the only five-star review for overall satisfaction. The supermarket label also received top marks for value for money and packaging design!
Here are the best brands for bleach in Australia, as rated by consumers in Canstar Blue’s 2021 review:
ALDI Power Force cleaned up the competition after it rated best for overall satisfaction, while White King, Woolworths Essentials, Domestos and Coles Ultra ended on a respectable four stars.
White King and Domestos got the edge in terms of effectiveness, earning full marks, with both brands also achieving five stars for packaging design. Woolworths performed similarly well in the value for money category.
Discount supermarket ALDI has attracted a huge fanbase for its Special Buys and budget-friendly private labels, offering a variety of staples such as chocolate, coffee, liquor (in some states), laundry liquid, toilet cleaner and face moisturiser. Bleach is another item to tick off the list, with a 1.25L bottle of Power Force Pro Heavy-Duty Cleaner also available for about $2. The product is described as a hospital-grade disinfectant that can kill up to 99.9% of germs and remove dirt, mould, and odours. It has a thick consistency and is currently sold in two different scents.

Canstar Blue surveyed more than 3,000 Australian adults across a range of categories to measure and track customer satisfaction, via ISO 26362 accredited research panels managed by Qualtrics. The outcomes reported are the results from customers within the survey group who have purchased and used bleach in the last 12 months – in this case, 1,271 people.
Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included. Results are comparative and it should be noted that brands receiving three stars have still achieved a satisfaction measure of at least six out of 10. Not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The ratings table is first sorted by star ratings and then by mean overall satisfaction. A rated brand may receive a ‘N/A’ (Not Applicable) rating if it does not receive the minimum number of responses for that criteria.
