Washing Up Liquid In The Bathroom

I've started using washing up liquid to clean the bath and sink! I use the anti bacteria one with a bathroom sponge just a little amount and it cleans as well, if not better than flash or cif and is a lot cheaper. We trust it to clean our dishes, so why not the bath or sink!!

Abrasive on plastic = bad news. Slightly abrasive only means it will take longer to ruin your bath.This is an open forum, anyone can post and I just did !0 -

That makes it sound as if it is difficult to find. All good supermarkets do it (if they don't, they're not a good supermarket). It could shift Staines from Surrey, though. At the time of writing, I have some beige chinos soaking in some, after I got Swedish lingonberry preserve on them!
