New Aldi £5 cleaning tool kit similar to £56 B&Q version landing in stores Sunday Homeowners who are keen to keep up with the household chore may be interested in Aldi's £5 version Many will agree that cleaning the outside of windows at home can be a difficult and risky chore, especially when cleaning the upstairs windows. To solve this problem, Aldi is launching a cleaning tool that not only lets you wipe both sides of the glass at the same time while staying safely indoors, but is similar to a pricier version at B&Q. The supermarket is releasing a new collection of 'Laundry and Cleaning' Special Buy products this weekend. The budget retailer updates its Middle Aisle range every Thursday and Sunday. This Sunday, September 20, shoppers can get their hands on a Magnetic Window Cleaner for £4.99. Aldi says that the cleaner is equipped with a safety rope to prevent falls and breakage. It also claims it is "suitable for windows, cars and shower screens". There are two colours shoppers can choose from: grey and green. The product description reads: "The double-sided magnetic window cleaner makes cleaning windows and glass more efficient and convenient. The triangular design will help you to reach corners and edges." As with all Special Buy deals at Aldi, stock is limited, so shoppers will need to act swiftly if they are keen to buy newly released items. As the store says: "Once it's gone, it's gone". B&Q is selling a similar version at a higher price. On the B&Q website, customers can find the Magnetic Window Cleaner Double-Sided Glass Magnet Washer Tool, on sale for £55.99. Although sold by different retailers, the two cleaning tools are similar in appearance and functionality. Both tools feature a distinctive, triangular plastic design. This shape is not just for looks; it allows the user to easily guide the cleaner into tight window corners that standard square sponges often miss. The inner workings of both items are also identical. Each side of the tool is fitted with a water-absorbent sponge to wash away dirt, paired with a built-in rubber squeegee to wipe the glass dry and prevent streaks. To ensure the outside piece does not fall to the ground if the magnets snap apart, both the Aldi and B&Q versions include a crucial anti-fall safety cord that ties directly to your wrist. However, buyers should keep one major detail in mind before purchasing either model. Both of these budget-friendly tools are designed strictly for single-glazed glass or thin panes up to 8mm thick. Because standard modern double-glazing is much thicker, the magnets in both the Aldi and B&Q versions may struggle to hold together across the wider gap. For standard single panes, both tools should work fine.
