Product Information

Our current washing-up liquid tests are the toughest yet, with tests including a ‘tough-grease’ removal test. Baked-on fat is the most difficult foodstuff to wash off by hand, according to 61% of Which? members we surveyed. Our tough-grease test simulates cleaning leftover fat from grilling meat or roasting potatoes off metal cookware. What is its environmental impact?

Fairy dishwashing liquid was introduced in Spain in 1982. In 1991, a television advertising campaign in which two fictional towns, Villarriba and Villabajo, compete for the best paella at their popular fiestas was launched in the country. The campaign, which allowed the brand to go from a discreet 6% to 40% market share in Spain, has been renewed many times over the years, was used in other markets such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, Portugal and Greece, and was even the inspiration for a television series titled Villarriba y Villabajo. [12] We now examine the eco-credentials of each washing-up liquid that we test, so that you can make a more informed buying decision. Find out just how sustainable green brands like Ecover, Smol, Method and Bio-D really are. You can also sign up for our free monthly Sustainability newsletter. A washing-up liquid needs to earn 79 % in our rigorous tests to become a Best Buy. Those with less than 45% become a Don't Buy. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, Fairy is also a longstanding brand of non-biological laundry detergent, the original soap-based variant being known as Fairy Snow. [3] Fairy Non-Bio has added fabric-conditioner to its product range. Like Fairy dish detergents, its traditional trademark is a walking baby.

Top 5 Washing Up Liquids

In Egypt, Fairy competes with Henkel's Pril, and takes second place to Pril in market share. It is notable for its aggressive advertising campaign featuring actresses from Egyptian television soap operas emphasizing its strength (which it claims is four times higher than Pril). [ citation needed] The Fairy brand has expanded further from the soap-based products, and is now also used on automatic dishwashing products, the latest being Fairy Active Bursts. These are pouches of powder and specially formulated washing-up liquid, specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Other variants have included a power spray for cleaning pots and pans, and a foam/mousse. [ citation needed] International Markets [ edit ] A bottle of Fairy Liquid, branded Yes in Sweden [7] In our foam-duration test, we smear 759 plates with different foods, including beef tallow, margarine, lard and flour. We count the number of plates that each liquid cleans before the foam disappears. How well does the washing-up liquid fight tough, baked-on grease? It is closely related to the Dawn dishwashing product range sold in the USA and to Dreft, Yes and JAR brands used by P&G in various European and international markets. We look into the ingredients used in washing-up liquid and what their environmental impact is, including whether they are biodegradable, harmful to aquatic life or persistent (whether they are likely to accumulate and linger in waterways).

In the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary similar P&G products are sold as Jar (pronunciation /yar/) and has been available since the 1960s.

The name is synonymous for detergent in Czech Republic and Slovakia.We carry out our washing-up liquid tests at 45°C – and more recently at 30°C too – to see whether washing-up liquid performs as well at a lower temperature. How long does the foam last? We measure how long the foam lasts, because most of us empty the bowl once the foam runs out. This can be a waste of washing-up liquid, as losing the foam doesn’t necessarily mean that the liquid isn’t capable of cleaning any more dishes. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.
