Advantages: lasts a while and cleans well

Disadvantages: none

When it comes to dish cleaning, my dish washer wins hands down but there are still occasions when it is necessary to use a conventional scourer pad, pair of rubber gloves and reach for the washing up liquid. I must say, yes it is a rare occasion such as now when my kitchen is being renovated hence my sink is out of use so I decided that after rekindling my relationship with washing up liquid, this could be the perfect time to write this review.

*The purchase*

I really took quite a risk the first time that I purchased this product. Usually, I would automatically purchase some sweet smelling fairy liquid as my hands are very sensitive and other brands have been quite harsh on them in the past to the point of cracked skin.
However on this occasion I decided to try a slightly cheaper liquid and to try the Asda own brand. With such a selection of fragrances and promises on the bottles it is hard to know where to start. This purchase was like a pot luck pick.
Obviously, the lavender and tea tree washing up liquid won. Why? I chose it simply for the fact that I like the colour, purple is in fact my favourite colour and I was intrigued to what the mix of lavender and tea tree would smell like.

*The product*

According to the advertising, the liquid is infused with lavender and sprinkled with tea tree. The liquid comes in a 500ml bottle and as of February is priced at 72p per bottle.

*My verdict*

I got my product home and decided to wash some dishes. The liquid itself is quite thick which is always a good attribute as less liquid should be required. I was very impressed to find that just a small squirt into my sink left the water filled with sweet smelling lathered bubbles. The liquid easily removed food and grease from my crockery and utensils. I also found that pans were easy to clean and even after a small soaking grill pans were also easy to clean.
Unlike some other brands, the washing up liquid does not damage my sin nor cause any discomfort. I find the liquid to be just as effective as Fairy and at a cheaper price tag.

*Summary*

I do really like this product. I have regularly re purchased this product and imagine that I will continue to do so. It is more expensive than the regular Asda brand but the premium label lives up to its name and does an equally good job as Fairy would t a cheaper price. I love the fragrance of the product, it is very pleasant and emits any chemical smells, a very natural scent. Highly recommended.

Summary: A good competetor to Fairy
