"Does anyone know what the most economic washing up liquid is. Are you better off with expensive fairy liquid or 5 supermarket own brand for the same price. Which lasts longer?"
Expensive, fairy liquid. I've noticed in the past that cheaper liquid doesn't go anywhere near as far as the more expensive ones. I'm on a self catering holiday in Greece and as soon as I arrived I bought a 1L expensive washing up liquid and I cook a lot, wash every morning, lunch and evenings(of course on occasions I do eat out). And 4 weeks on there's over half a bottle left. At the end of the day you get what you pay for. |

"If you leave your dishes outside and get the local bugs and birds to eat/peck off the food then let the rain wash them. "
If I ever come over for dinner, please don't be upset when I arrive with my own plates  |

"No idea, I have a dishwasher!
And the most economical dishwasher tablets are?"
I buy Lidl own brand - haven’t noticed that more expensive are any better. However, although all the tablets are supposed to be 3 in 1 I still put rinse aid and salt in the dishwasher too. My dishwasher has a facility to wash at high temp but at half the time of the pans setting so rarely have anything that doesn’t wash squeaky clean. |

This is a difficult one to answer as there are different answers. Are you looking for the one that lasts the longest? One that does not contain palm oil? One that is safe for aquatic life? One that is in recyclable packaging?

This.
We found Tesco’s have started selling ones where you get the bottle and a capsule of concentrated soap. Just add water to make up the bottle. Disappointed that they didn’t replacement capsules as well but Amazon do.
We’re giving it a go to see how it works out. If not, back to Fairy liquid.

Blimey. I didn't think there was so much to it. I was thinking of pure value for money. Have we been conned by the Fairy adds ?
I reckon it's cheaper to buy the supermarket stuff even if it means we use more but have no evidence to back it up. That's why I hoped that someone might have done their research |

I know it’s a big commitment investing in washing up liquid, but I always take the plunge and invest in Fairy liquid, I’m not taking any chances on the supermarket own brand, sure I could save over 3 pounds a year, that I could put towards a new house, but I don’t think you can put a price on clean plates. |

I think you quite clearly have put a price on it, about £3.  |

I used to work in restaurants and we got the 5ltr unbranded tubs from wholesalers and watered them down 50% , stops you using too much by accident. Unless you let the food dry or have grease you often don’t need any detergent, it’s unnecessary pollution. |

Risk of rats though and Leptospirosis etc"
Yeah but it's still eco-friendly |

There's a friend of mine gets visits from a leading member of a nearby local authority. What his thing is that he adorns a maids outfit, and does all her cleaning for her, and if his work isn't up to standard, which it never is, then he gets a slap. Get yourself a man what does, like Linda has, complete with his own cleaning materials, and you need never buy washing up liquid again. |

Anything other than fairy liquid is a false economy for me. I get away with supermarket brands where possible but there are some things you just shouldn't substitute and fairy washing up liquid is one of the branded items that cant be replaced for me |
