Clean and smelling good! (Fairy Liquid)

Advantages: A little goes a long way so it lasts for a long time.
Disadvantages: Tempting to use too much which results in huge volumes of bubbles, everywhere!

...Fairy Original washing up liquid, although used less in our house now due to the use of a dishwasher, it still takes pride of place next to the kitchen sink. The bottle I have is 450ml and made of clear flexible plastic allowing for the liquid to be squeezed out with easy. The top is a red flip top and made of plastic. The bottle I have cost 98p and boasts it contains 50% extra too, so looking good on the value side of things. The label contains a number of details including advice on hand care (simply saying to rinse hands after use and that as the product is a detergent therefore avoid prolonged use, especially if you have cut on your hands), gives reference to a website that I haven't yet checked out (www.sustainale-cleaning.com), ingredients (which can be found at www.infdo-pg.com) and contact details (see end of review). Does it...

Review of Fairy Washing Up Liquid

Mild, Green, Fairy Liquid!

Advantages: Concentrated for longer use, flip top lid, lasts longer than other brands.
Disadvantages: A little more expensive.

...I have previously tried out cheaper alternatives but I always find myself being led straight back to Fairy as I really feel that it gives the best value for money. Fairy is in a clear plastic bottle which has a red flip top lid and the bottle has a slight curve to it which makes it easy to grab off the side in my kitchen for use. The liquid is thick and green and is advertised on the bottle as being concentrated and lasting 50% longer than cheaper brands and I do find it to last quite a bit longer although it does cost a little more of course. It's extremely easy to use and I just fill up the washing up bowl and then turn on the hot water and squirt a little of this. Lots of bubbles are created by the liquid and I think just a squirt in my washing up bowl and another small squirt on my sponge to be perfectly ample for washing a whole...

Review of Fairy Washing Up Liquid

Fairy washing up liquid kind to your hands

Advantages: Kind to skin long lasting, good value for money
Disadvantages: lavender type isnt the best to buy

...I usually use the original fairy liquid they all seem to hold all the same attributes you dont need to use alot of this to make a bowl of washing up and it works well to dissolve the tough food that is stuck on the bowls. I was up about 3 times a day we seem to cause alot of washing up in out house so my hands are always in water and this does not seem to dry out my hands it keeps them feeling soft and like ladies hands should be it doesnt weaken my nails either. I get mine on a 2 for £2 from asda which is great and it holds a 30% extra free in each bottle too which is great because it lasts me longer a bottle will last me between 2 to 3 weeks. It is good value for money keeps your hands feeling soft and as the advert says mild fairy liquid it is definatley mild which you will experiance when you have used it. I wouldnt...

Review of Fairy Washing Up Liquid

The Hardworking Fairy

Advantages: A washing up liquid that is well worth paying extra for.
Disadvantages: None

...Was it really as far back as 1965 when we were treated to that unforgettable television advert that featured Nanette Newman as the `Mum` and Leslie Ash as the young daughter politely conversing over a bowlful of dirty dishes that were on the receiving end of the Fairy Liquid treatment ? Having done some Internet research it seems that that advertisement did run all of those years ago. Leslie Ash was waiting for the empty Fairy Liquid bottle to make a skittle, if Leslie was hoping to make a full set of skittles then she might still be keeping those bottles ! Proctor and Gamble UK, By Appointment to Her Majesty the Queen, manufacturers of soap and detergents, that has a certain ring to it doesn't it ? It is hard to believe just how many types of washing-up liquid there are sitting on the supermarket shelves, I must confess that I am...

Review of Fairy Washing Up Liquid

Pamper your hands... Fairy Clean and Clear Almond

Advantages: smells like a piece of marzipan, foams well, lasts long
Disadvantages: probably the price, but I feel it's a fair price for this product

...I ran out of washing up liquid my husband bought last time, so I decided to try another one. So I bought a Fairy Clean and Care Almond 450 ml washing up liquid for 1.4 pounds in Sainsbury?s. Most of the times I do the shopping with my sons, so I have to hurry because they don?t really enjoy walking around in a groceries shop. As they were with me, I didn?t open the lid of the washing up liquid in the shop, I just dropped into the basket. First impressions As I opened its lid it smelled like a piece of marzipan. I like marzipan, and as it is made of almond it wasn?t a surprise. So my washing up liquid has an intense almond fragrance that lasts intensively only for a few seconds, then the intense lessens. This washing up liquid foams well and lasts long. I bought it about a month ago and I used only one third of it. I use my...

Review of Fairy Washing Up Liquid

The next best washing-up liquid after Fairy

Advantages: Works well, cheap as OWN BRAND stuff, smells nice
Disadvantages: none so far

...Living above the family's grocery store, I don't normally need to nip out to buy things like this, but one week a few years ago while my Dad was having to keep spending on stock to a minimum, I ended up having to do so. Past choiches having been restrict to Fairy liquid, HAPPY SHOPPER own brand + "Squezy", and the Ecover stuff i covered in a previous review. I'd plonk this one as the 2nd best of these after Fairy.... Happy shopper 3rd, Squezy 4th & Ecover last. It's made by CUSSONS, the same people who make imperial leather soap + carex handwash, etc. The colour is the pretty much bog-standard green colour, though a slightly brighter shade than the others..... there's also an anti-bacterial version in blue. The standard green one also has a sort of lemon / lime zesty smell to it, unlike other green washing-up liquids. The Blue Anti...

Review of Morning Fresh Washing Up Liquid

Fairy Nice Fairy Liquid

Advantages: long lasting, rich in suds, cuts through grease, excellent value for money
Disadvantages: none

...Remember the advert, "Hands that do dishes should be soft as your face - mild green Fairy liquid." Well Fairy liquid now comes not only in the traditional green but in yellow with their lemon scented variety of the UK's most popular washing up liquid. One of their most recent advertising campaigns to show how long lasting this washing up liquid is has been very successful. It shows a child eagerly anticipating an empty Fairy bottle, so that he or she can make model or toy (probably featured in the popular TV show, "Blue Peter"). As I'm sure you can guess, I do dishes at my house - at least part of the time. Mrs. Reeftank and I have been using Fairy Liquid since we were married. It is an outstanding product for many reasons. Fairy Liquid is mild on the skin (even Mrs. Reeftank's sensitive skin), cuts through even the heaviest...

Review of Fairy Washing Up Liquid

For a lovely flowery smell as you wash up

Advantages: Smells lovely, works well, good price
Disadvantages: None really

...I was doing a bit of washing up this morning and was conscious of a lovely fragrance in the kitchen. After a minute or two I realised that it was the washing up liquid! The one I was using at the time was Fairy Pink Petals. I tend to buy my washing up liquid according to what is on offer at the time but to be fair you do get what you pay for and fairy is by far the best. The cheaper brands aren't as strong so you need more in your water to start with and also the bubbles don't last as long. Fairy is hardly a new kid on the block - as my old dad would say 'It's been around since Adam was a lad!' I can certainly remember those twee adverts for Fairy when I was a little girl and I am 53 now so it's been with us for a while. 'Hands that do dishes can be soft as your face ??.' When Fairy Liquid was first produced I think I am...

Review of Fairy Washing Up Liquid

Fairy Clean and Care...

Advantages: Smells and feels nice and does the job!
Disadvantages: Expensive, doesnt last very long!

...Who has tried the new Fairy Clean and Care range of washing up liquid?? Well i grabbed two for £2 and i have to say i was very disappointed in the new Fairy, it doesnt last very long at all compared to their other washing up liquids which normally last a good 3-4 weeks, the new one has lasted me literally a week and a half, it doesnt stay soapy on the sponge at all. I have not changed nothing from what i would normally wash up, same old, bottles, cups, plates cutlery etc... An example would be i washing up 2 plates, a cup, cutlery, a bottle, a childs cup with lid, i had to put fairy on the sponge at least 3 times, where as with a normal bottle of fairy normally one little squeeze of washing up liquid does the trick. This new fairy just doesnt do it for me when it comes to washing up, dont get me wrong it does the job but you just...

Review of Fairy Washing Up Liquid

Away with the Fairies!

Advantages: Smells good and lasts for ever
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest

...?Mummy why are your hands so soft?? The young girl enquired. ?Because I?m only 15. ? The mother replied. Ooops sorry I shouldn?t make fun about teenage mothers. The real answer of course is because she has been using fairy washing up liquid. Fairy washing up liquid is one of many household products made by Proctor & Gamble. It is also a market leader and its success is due to the fact that it really does leave your dirty pots clean and sparkling. ?But so does my regular washing up liquid?? I hear you say. This may possibly be true but with fairy there is a whole lot more going on too. It is not the cheapest product on the shelf but it my opinion the best. The reasons why fairy is the best can be summarised as below The appearance Traditionally sold in a tall white plastic bottle, this was replaced a few years ago...
