Dont you find you use more though compared to other washing up liquids? How much do you actually use? I want to be able to use it for the dishes as I only wanted to keep one bottle for everything but I just can't get on with it for pot washing

I soak the pots for an hour of so, loosens most things apart from scrambled eggs so would need a bit of elbow grease

I use about the same amount as i would with a normal washing up liquid

Have only used Stardrops since i moved into the flat and within the space of a week i was told i have a lovely shiny toilet and the letting agent was super impressed at how shiny the flat was when he came round to inspect it:T (and they can be really picky)

Once my washing up bottle is empty I'm going to wash it out and fill it up with stardrops and keep that one just for dishwashing because I'll know then if I'm pouring out the same. The stardrops bottle top isnt as easy to pour and at least I'll be able to compare more if its used from exactly the same bottle. Can't get away from the fact though that the suds don't last long at all so if anything I will probably have to use more stardrops but I'll test it out again anyway

The suds don't mean anything... it's not the suds that do the cleaning of the dishes

I wouldn't have thought you would use more, as the other FM says the suds don't mean anything. Really strong industrial cleaners produce virtually no suds.

It wasnt just the suds the dishes still felt greasy and just not clean and my other washing up liquid did better I tried it for about a week but I'll give it another try anyway
