Advantages: Smells nice, good washing power, not drying on the hands Disadvantages: Not suitable for those 'here's one I prepared earlier' moments
Asda washing up liquid comes "2 for £1" which compares favourably to the likes of Persil which costs 99p for one bottle in my local shop (cheaper in Asda…but then if I was actually in Asda I could buy their own brand, couldn't I?). Therefore the question that springs to my mind is, since brand names cost about twice as much, are they twice as good, do they last twice as long, or are they twice as nice to use?
The packaging
The bottles ... ...This washing up liquid from Asda comes in various scents, such as lemon, "avocado and mint" and nectarine (no 'orange' here) and pine, all of which are suitably pleasant without being over-powering. More 'subtle' than 'in your face', I can generally agree their descriptions are accurate. After washing up the scent lingers on my sponges for a while until they dry. If you think 'flavour' is a strange one to include here then you've obviously never ...

...until now, having recently chosen Asda Lavender & Tea tree washing up liquid and being won over by such a simple, everyday product.
Asda Lavender & Tea Tree is part of Asdas premium washing up range, naturally only available from Asda it costs 84p for a 500ml bottle. The liquid is a pale purple colour and is of a medium consistency, showing some quality to the liquid that many other cheaper versions lack. Strangely the lavender is not the dominant ... ...does as well as leaving your hands feeling pleasant after use, which is quite nice as there's nothing worse than pungent dish pan hands.

Advantages: Does EXACTLY what it claims to do (and more) Disadvantages: honestly can't think of any!
...Jaffa cakes to fabric fresheners, Asda are always committed to trying to cut in on the action and bring us the same thing for a fraction of the price.
This time it’s washing up liquid with a serious attitude! Asda have brought out a new range of tough acting washing up liquid that have a soft side to them, actually a soft fragrence. There are a few to choose from, but I am going to concentrate on the one that I just purchased, Avocado and mint.

Cuts through grease and grime.
On the back of the bottle, there is a box that goes into more detail about how it controls harmful bacteria ...

...wreck my hands - and Asda own brand washing up liquid ticks all those boxes . These are always on offer at 2 for £1, which is a pretty good price considering a bottle of Fairy in a slightly smaller bottle costs 96 pence . With Asdas own brand being a little over half the price when purchased on the multibuy offer, does that mean it's only half as good ? Not at all! The packaging for this is just a clear plastic bottle, thruogh which you can see the ... ...red flip cap , that can be easily opened even with wet or greasy hands, and has an illustration of a load of bubbles on the front . You can also unscrew this lid - handy for getting out the last few little drops of washing up liquid . The bottles squeeze easily, making dispensing the required amount of washing up liquid a breeze. However, the nozzle can get a bit gunked up, so a quick wipe round the spout with a dishcloth is always a good idea . ...

Advantages: Loads of bubbles and it cleaned my big caserole dish Disadvantages: The fact that I have to do the washing up.
I have a life, honestly, and I hate spending it cleaning up. The only way I can do it is if I have music blasting in the background for me to sing along to (at the moment it is Sissors Sisters) so there I was a few days warbling along when I noticed that I had a sink full of fluffy bubbles. Strange I thought, must be the influence of the music. Then the following night I had a bit of Gary Numan on (no I was not singing to that) and yet again BUBBLES. ... ...my music (Mc Almont and Butler) filled up the sink and YESSS my sink was overflowing. Blimey what fun, plunging you arms in a sink full of fluffyness. Then I had got through the easy stuff and was starting on my big glass casserole dish.

I left it in with the usual though OH I'll let that steep but I returned after I put everthing away ...

Some Asda brands or any supermarket brand stuff are good, but I have to say that Asda washing up liquid is not one of them, especially with Xmas around the corner, and all the washing up that will need doing. Frankly, without being to harsh I think it's like green water, it's so thin that you have to put half the bottle to get any sought of soapy water, and what's the point? It is useless on frying pans or oven trays, there's no point of soaking ... ...fairy bottle you can get three Asda washing up liquid bottles, but you don't have to be a whiz kid to realise it will be poor quality. I would like to know if anyone actually like the water they call washing up liquid. Cheap but rubbish!! ...

Advantages: It's cheap Disadvantages: It aint cheerful
...so she bought me the Asda 'Lemon Fresh'. The bottle is exactly the same as Fairy and comes in various different and exotic smells, just like Fairy. The only difference is the name: 'Best ever performance extra hygeine washing up liquid'. But it has an 'F' in it, and I'm Asda bashing at the moment, so let's suggest another rip off, however tenuous.
Anything even remotely linked to Lemon usually puts me off buying, but to Asda's credit, it smells ... ...It was about 20p less than Fairy.
On your common-or-garden plate with bean stains or cups with coffee rings, it's completely useless. Far too much elbow grease is required to rid said crockery of muckiness.
On a nightmare frying pan I inherited from my cousin, it was just as bad. I soaked it overnight and well into Tuesday, and scrubbed like no one has ever scrubbed before. In a word, it was crap. It made absolutely NO DIFFERENCE to the state of ...

I have to admit to having used this product, the reason why I decided to purchase it at that time was to see if it was of similar quality to the one I usually use. And of course the price was an issue. Anyway the bottle is fairly big, and looks very ordinary from the outside. And if truth be said it isn’t very good when you use it. I had a dinner party, and I soaked the pans, and when I woke the next morning, nothing had changed the grease ... ...matter whether I had left them soaked or not.
When I use it, it was so thin, that I would end up using half the bottle, just to wash some dishes. I was not impressed, the quality was not what I expected. It was no way as good as my normal fairy. It cleaned the dishes after a good hard scrub, and after half the bottle had been used.
Don’t make the same mistake as me, don’t be fooled, nothing is as good as Fairy liquid. This product didn’t ...

...the wrong products was this asda washing up liquid which i thought well we will give it a go.

Its a clear bottle with blue washing up liquid inside blue with it being original, with a no fuss label on the front. Which reads Asda original washing up liquid with antibacterial agents

Asda Fairy liquid is not a fairy that I would recommend, it simply is water hence it is reflected in the price. The bottle is fairly big, thus gives the impression that it will last a long time, but if you have Greece dishes to wash, you have to use half the bottle. Its hard to get rid of grime and you can see the difference if you put it up against a leading washing up liquid. I suppose it’s more for the person who has dishes that are clean, ... ...thin.
If I see this liquid in people’s house my first thoughts are that poor people, it must be hard doing the dishes in this household. As you probably guess I don’t recommend this product as I find other products are better at doing the job which this product is designed for. ...

However, I cannot say the same for their washing up liquid. It's pleasant fragrance is what initially attracted me to the product (that and it being cheaper than leading brands), but it's what perhaps proved to be it's downfall.

Advantages: Cheaper than Fairy & others Disadvantages: Awful product! Have to use a lot to get results
...sorry to those who like asda who are reading this, but asda washing up liquid is an awful product. It looks great on the shelf, a promises good results, also being cheaper than others it sounds promising.
But get it home, try it in your normal washing up routine, and your view soon changes. It is very runny, which leads me to think that it's been watered down. Not a good start.
I tried it with a glass - not much cleaning involved. On this it came ... ...to ensure it didn't smear.
But on anything which requires more cleaning power, like plates (!) it is useless. To get reasonble results you HAVE to use a lot of it.
Why bother buying such a cheap substitute, when it will never clean as well as other brands and you'll use so much it may well work out more expensive??
Avoid this product! It will be a waste of money. ...
