Technically, the CDC recommends at least 60% for hand sanitizer, so the Clean N Fresh is above federal guidelines. Aldi hand sanitizer contains 70% ethyl alcohol (also known as ethanol), while in this Clean N Fresh alcohol is 62%.ĭoes that 8% matter? It’s hard to say. There is another difference between Aldi hand sanitizer and this one. Granted, hand sanitizer is in short supply right now, but you might want to compare this to your national brands before you buy. This is several times more expensive than the 12 cents an ounce I pay for Aldi hand sanitizer, and it is a lot more than the 16 cents an ounce a bulk bottle of Purell runs at Target. The hand sanitizer costs $3.29 for an 8-ounce bottle, or about 41.1 cents an ounce. It’s manufactured by CarrollCLEAN, a Texas-based supplier of cleaning products. It’s found in the aisle with other personal care products and cleaning products. Either way, it’s not an Aldi Find or a Seasonal Favorite: you’re not going to find it in the weekly ad. I don’t know if it’s a temporary solution to an Aldi sanitizer shortage or something meant to be around for a while. (Aldi had a sign posted limiting sanitizer bottles to one per customer.)Ĭlean N Fresh Instant Hand Sanitizer is a Regular Buy … I think. We were in need of hand sanitizer, so we picked up a bottle. Instead, it was another brand, one we’ve never seen in our store before. I don’t have a problem with that - they surely need it more than I do, and I don’t doubt that many other retailers are having to do this - but it adds to the challenge of finding hand sanitizer inside Aldi.ĭuring a recent trip to Aldi, though, we did notice hand sanitizer on the shelf … but it wasn’t Aldi hand sanitizer.

I’m sure a lot of that is because of consumer demand, and we’ve also seen some of it finding its way to the Aldi checkout lanes for worker use. At our local Aldi stores, Aldi’s private-label Source Hand Sanitizer has been hard to find. It’s no secret that, at the time of this post, hand sanitizer is one of a few items in high demand.

In those instances, hand sanitizer containing either isopropyl or ethyl alcohol is a helpful thing to have around, as it is a highly useful cleaning agent, both for the convenience factor as well as its overall ability to kill most viruses and bacteria. While proper hand washing is still the most effective way to prevent transmission of disease from your hands to your body, that’s not always possible, such as when you’re out shopping. It turns out this smell has to do with changes to the manufacturing process due to sanitizer shortage.
