I don't find washing dishes a chore. Although housework is a boring necessity, I do like to see things come clean. Being easily pleased in a childish way, I have been known to put a horse rug in my washing machine at the end of the winter and then pop out during the rinse to watch the smelly grungy water flowing into the drain. The browner it is, the more satisfaction when I take it clean from the washer. No need to do this with my dishes, but I have never minded washing up. My choice has been to go for a good own brand rather than a real cheapie as I believe you get what you pay for. Even if the contents work reasonably well, I have found that the ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to washing up liquid, I tend to just purchase the cheapest going as I have a dishwasher and don't tend to wash up very often, and only wash up when I only have a few items that need washing and therefore a bottle of washing up liquid lasts me quite a while so I only buy cheap. The last bottle of washing up liquid I purchased was Sainsbury's Basics Washing Up Liquid as the price was attractive to me. This washing up liquid costs just 47p for a 500ml bottle which is exceptionally cheap when compared to branded products such as Fairy. The liquid comes in a very bland, plain white plastic bottle which bears little more than the orange ...  Read the complete review

Review of Sainsbury's Basics Washing up liquid. *~*The Product*~* As most people will know, the Basics range is Sainsbury's own label products aimed at the budget end of the market. These goods are simply packaged and presented and are designed to offer no frills, value for money. Some of the these products are very good, other are not! Had I been writing this review two or three years ago, this washing up liquid would have received a definite 'thumbs up' from me, sadly not so now! As mentioned, I have used this product in the past, but returned to a branded washing up liquid when I moved in with my mother as her carer. ...  Read the complete review

On a recent visit to Sainsbury's I bought this washing up liquid from the cheaper products of the Basics range to try it and see if I liked it, to save some pennies as it was only 34p for 500ml and since I have been buying lower priced items more for the past year or so, I thought this one would be probably suitable also. It comes in a white plastic bottle, with a flip lid, it is very basic with the usual colours of the basics range of orange and white, so it can be easily spotted on the shelf, the liquid inside is a light green colour, it easily pours from the bottle, but I found it is much more runny than some other cheaper liquids, I found I also needed to ...  Read the complete review

I like to use and try lots of different washing up liquids for a change and I usually buy what is on special offer and sometimes ones that I have not tried before and I saw this one from Sainsbury's basics range of lowed branded products, and I thought for the price of just 34p for a 500ml bottle, and thought, if I had not liked it very much I would not be wasting much money, but I am liking a lot of lower brands recently much more than I ever imagined I would. It comes in a plastic bottle with a flip back top, in the orange and white colours of the lower range from Sainsbury's and inside it is a green liquid, it is not quite as thick as other lower priced ...  Read the complete review
