Tricare Liquid Hand Soap Refill 3L (Antibacterial or Aloe Vera & Chamomile) $6.99 @ ALDI

870

We go through hand wash really quickly so I've been buying this 3L hand wash every time it comes out as a special buy at Aldi. The 1L is good value at $2.75 but this is even cheaper per litre ($2.33/L). There are two varieties to choose from, aloe vera & chamomile (white) or anti-bacterial (orange).

I find the aloe vera & chamomile similar to Palmolive's aloe & chamomile which is $3.25 for 1L this week.

It used to come with a pump which was really handy for refilling smaller containers but it doesn't look like it will have a pump this time from the website image. So if you already have one of these you may want to save the pump.

    Trump approves, get some in ya!

  • does aldi ever sell a big refill like this of the foaming hand wash?

    • +6

      No need to get foaming ones. Just mix with water, let’s say 1:4 depending on the thickness of it.

        Thank you! I always wonder whether its okay to dilute it, now I know it is okay to do so.
        Thank you!

          Maybe double check with other sources first? My cleansers don't suddenly foam up after adding water - could be the products I use or the process. Not discounting the poster's knowledge but it's always a good idea to double check… :)

            @bargainshooter: It's also the pump that is different in the foaming handwashes. You'll notice the difference by comparing traditional pumps and the foaming types.

          • @bargainshooter: It does work only if you use clear handwash not the cloudy ones

        • Although I do not advocate this, as dilution will reduce preservation levels thereby increasing microbial contamination.

          If you are doing it, use only water that has been boiled (so that it is free of germs).

        • -2

          Make sure the water is boiled before mixing to lessen bacteria growth.
          I tried using regular non-boiled tap water. After a couple days, the soap smells funky.

        • Ahh okay, that makes sense. Thank you for the advice everyone

        • It Is okay but the ratio should be 50:50, with 1/4 you'll have a very, very thin foam. I use tap water and no problem

      • +1

        It will work, but adding water changes the original formula which included the right amount preservative for that formula. Adding water to stuff usually increases risk of bacteria growth. I guess if you use it up quickly (say a week) it shouldn't be a problem. Maybe.

          What about distilled watah

          Nonsense. Soap is it’s own preservative. It will be fine for a long, long time.

      EDIT: ww was quicker than me lol.

      many people(me also) dilute regular hand wash 1:3 to make foaming hand wash.

    Do you need a special foaming pump to make foaming hand washes?

    • +2

      Yes you do need a foaming pump. I bought one foaming hand wash, and just reuse the foaming bottle.

      • Yes, Id wait for a sale on Palmolive foam soap wash then stock up.Ive had a few for a couple years now with no issues at all.

        And cheaper than buying from eBay. Last I remembered eBay ones cost 2.30 but have no idea on quality and waiting time of 1-2months

      Daiso also sells self-foaming hand wash pump containers, but I found that the pumps didn't work very well after a while (started to get stuck and hard to get anything out), even though I rinsed it out thoroughly.

      • +1

        Cheaper foamer pumps have poorly designed mesh's that clog/break after a while. Hence failure.

      • is this handsoap like very liquidy? or mo viscous jelly-ish??

        aloe vera & chamomile (white) or anti-bacterial (orange).

        does this mean the white is not antibac? ta

        • +1

          It is a smooth liquid, not jelly-like. The white one is not labelled as antibacterial.

          However, in recent years there have been some public information saying that antibacterial soap isn't any more effective at removing germs than regular soap and may have negative side effects. See article.

          • @moocher: how often they go on special?

            weird thing I noticed - The small bottles are from Malaysia(?) and these big ones are made in Australia ..

  • shame there's no Vera Vera flavour

    • Vera Vera

      They have aloe vera.

      • that's not the same as Vera Vera - combination of Sandalwood and Bergamot and a tinge of Vera oil

  • Seems really good value from a proper retailer. I've been buying 5L hand soap refills at a local warehouse for $5 for a few years, although it recently increased to $6.

    • +1

      which warehouse is this?

      • +1

        Linda's Discount Warehouse, 3 locations in Sydney's inner west.

    Aloe vera,I've camomile……

    • That pun is next level!

  • +1

    What if we could do a sort of… cleaning - inside the body? 3 litres of this stuff would really help.

    • Trump recommends bleach.

      • And I said - what if we hit the body with a very powerful projection of an Aloe Vera plant? They said I dunno, we can test it - and we will.

      • I approve, comrade.

  • I bought 4 of these last time they were half price at Aldi… almost used up over a year or more so perfect timing ^^

  • Anyone recommend a re-usable dispenser that won't break within a month or two?
