Kwiksave (Washing Liquid)

Advantages: makes great kids bubbles and is very cheap
Disadvantages: you have to use loads, and not very effective cleaning power

...I bought this because I thought that it was priced cheaply - I also thought that washing up liquid is washing up liquid, whichever brand it is. First off, it doesn't matter how cheap it is, if you have to buy lots more of this than your normal brand, my usual brand being fairy liquid, then it isn't very good value. You have to use loads of it, to get any grease cutting power at all, and the grease cutting power doesn't last for more than a few dishes, which makes this a big no-no to anybody with a family to feed. It didn't smell too bad for washing up liquid (and incidentally, it makes great kids bubbles), but these are the only points that I found worthwhile. I suppose it is good value for money, but in this instance, you get what you pay for. I also found that using this on a regular basis triggered a skin reaction on my hands, and my... Read review

Advantages: Makes clothes feel lovely
Disadvantages: Where was my dosing ball?

...Getting to the end of my first bottle of fairy non-bio. Fairy non-bio is a liquid clothes detergent, turquoise in colour and smells really nice. Since I have started using it I have really noticed the difference. My clothes feel lovely! They feel nice when they come out of the wash and great once they have dried. I line dry (or clothes horse dry) my clothes and one thing I have noticed is that you do not get that stiff powdery feeling on the clothes once they have been on the line for the day. They actually feel like they have been tumble dried with bounce (even though they haven't). The clothes smell fantastic and it is quite pleasant when you are drying them indoors as the aroma seems to be carried around the house, very fresh! Again there is no stiffness in the clothes they feel fab even if you have to dry them near a radiator... Read review

Advantages: Helps wash dirty dishes for a great price
Disadvantages: Only comes in one sized bottle

...I first bought Morning Fresh when it was on a promotion in which I got 750ml for the price of 500ml, and since then it has been my preferred brand of washing-up liquid. It is a brand from Cussons, who are a well-known household name, and mainly focus on personal care, their most famous brands being Imperial Leather and Carex. Coming from such a popular brand, you might expect it to be among the most expensive on the shelves, but it is significantly cheaper than what one would regard as the 'top' brands. So how does it wash up? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One of the things I find most annoying (apart from having to wash up in the first place!) is pouring a sink for washing up, full of bubbles, and two or three minutes later, all the bubbles have gone! I have found this happens with many cheap or 'own-brand' washing up liquids, but I don... Read review
