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!!

    i use a squirt of washing up liquid mixed with some bicarb to make a paste, rub it on and then rinse. that works well, because the bicarb is slightly abrasive.only need tiny amount so its cheap too

    I have put a squirt of antibacterial fairy washing up liquid into an old Mr muscle spray for the last 10 years...Use it everywhere..

    90% of dirt is grease based and the best thing for gettign rid of grease is washingup liquid..using the antibacterial type just helps with the germies

    have used same bottle for a very long time....

    Good idea about the bottle!
    I used bicarb on my front door to get rid of dirty fingerprints works like cif cream!

    Don't use it in the loo!!! A guy who I worked with got his name 'bubbles' from doing just that, it took us ages to get the mess cleared up.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    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 !

    Try a third each of Stardrops, white vinegar & water in an old sprayer bottle.

    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!
