I went to Aldi. I didnโ€™t get many things due to only bringing one bag and not wanting to hang around long. But I got some carpet sanitizer spray and my friend spotted bottles of laundry sanitizer rinse which is a big win.

Dettol brand is $20 for 2.5L and Aldi is $6.99 for 2L.

Edit: oof owie the Canesten I originally bought is $25 for 2L.

The Canesten one is the only anti-fungal rinse on the market unfortunately. It is expensive. I love the Aldi sanitiser but when my mother had ringworm we forked out for the Canestan and it worked.

I was looking at sanitisers recently and noticed they all have the same active ingredient except for the Pine o Clean one. Has Canesten reformulated maybe?

Oh damn. Thanks for letting me know, I might finish this bottle but fork out for Canesten ~~if~~ when I get reinfected
