  • Shampoo will do its soap.just rinse off under tap after cleaning plates
  • I always fill the empty washing up liquid bottle with hot water to eek out every bit that maybe left inside,but then I come from a long line of eekers.My late mum was a champion at streeetching things out. have you a little washing soda that may help in hot water but give them a good rinse afterwards to make sure they are squeeky clean

    Don't use soap or washing powder, I've ried it and it's basty tasting :o
    Have you got any kind of mild shampoo just use a tiny bit and elbow grease?

    Have you any bicarb, you could sprinkle some on a cloth to rub stains then rinse well. Or salt.

    Actually, better than that, knock on a neighbours door and ask for some. Then suprise them by baking a cake for them or something :)
