Another vote for stardrops if you have any in.

This thread has more ideas:

I'll add this to that one later to keep the ideas together. Do come back and let us know how you got on.

Thanks everyone. Typically, stardrops isnt something i buy...i have never heard of it before.

I think i might just cave in and buy some tomorrow. I really dont want to, as i am doing the NOvember challenge, which demands 25 NSDs this month!

When I was a child (in the 60's/ 70's) my mum never bought washing up liquid and I only ever remember her using washing powder. I'm 48 now and don't seem to have had any side effects!

Before washing up liquid, people often used soda crystals. I find they work pretty well, but do require good rinsing or you'll have a powdery residue left when everything dries. Harmless enough (soda crystals are a food additive in small amounts anyway), but still unwanted.

Plain household soap like white windsor works too, but again lots of rinsing. That was the major benefit of washing up liquids, they rinse away easily.

On hols in a caravan recently I used a little tea tree shampoo - worked absolutely fine. Soap is soap imo!

I'd use it as a good excuse not to bother washing up and put it off until tomorrow

I remember that too, everyone just used washing powder, then I remember my 'aunt' getting a bottle of Squeezy & we were all fascinated by this miraculous new product

my mum used DAZ! I can still remember tasting it on the next meal when dad had washed up as he didnt believe in rinsing the crockery! and he used LOADS!
