Sainsbury's 'Basics' Washing Up Liquid

I am always on the look out for a bargain and will give something a try if it might save me a few pennies in the long run and this product was no exception.

This is a clear plastic bottle with an orange flip top lid that is very easy to use even with wet hands. Just flip the lid and pour some of this on your dishes or under running water. I usually put some of mine under hot water and then a generous squirt on a sponge to help me produce lots of bubbles to make sure the dishes are scrubbed clean.

There was a fair amount of bubbles from this washing up liquid but there wasn't too much of a scent but that doesn't really matter as long as it gets my dishes nice and clean. It did cut through the grease relatively well but I found that I had to use more of this than I would say Fairy so overall it probably costs me almost as much to use this and use more than to use less of a more expensive product.

A 500ml bottle is available from Sainsburys for 40p and I think this is a very fair price for what this product is. If you want it just for standard washing up then it would be perfect for your dishes, however, if you do your own cooking and have greasy dishes then you will find this a little lacking in cutting through thick grease and it may fail where more expensive products succeed (such as Fairy).

I suffer from sensitive skin and I don't use gloves when I wash up. This product did not give me any reaction and providing I used hand cream afterwards my skin remained lovely and smooth.

I am rating this product 3/5 as it's not bad. I would like more fragrance and I would also like it to be better at cutting through grease but for 40p I think it's a pretty good product.
