Maintaining a clean and healthy environment is vitally important for you and your family. We’ve got a huge selection of cleaning products including anti-bacterial sprays and wipes. These will make sure that harmful germs and bacteria don’t stand a chance on tables, countertops and other kitchen surfaces. And once you’ve given everything a wipe down, dry your surfaces with a kitchen roll or tissue. We now examine the eco-credentials of each washing-up liquid that we test, so that you can make a more informed buying decision. We measure how long the foam lasts, because most of us empty the bowl once the foam runs out. This can be a waste of washing-up liquid, as losing the foam doesn’t necessarily mean that the liquid isn’t capable of cleaning any more dishes.

Products that wash more plates will last longer, cutting down on the times you need to change the water when dealing with dirty dishes.

In our foam-duration test, we smear 759 plates with different foods, including beef tallow, margarine, lard and flour. We count the number of plates that each liquid cleans before the foam disappears. How well does the washing-up liquid fight tough, baked-on grease? Washing-up liquids have multiple active ingredients, including surfactants, detergents, hydrotropes and antibacterial chemicals. Surfactants lift grease and dirt, and are also involved in generating foam. So when the bubbles have gone, the surfactants have too. The detergents and antibacterial chemicals will still be active, so you can carry on cleaning without the foam, but the washing-up liquid won't perform as well. Fairy Bar Soap".
