Because it lasts basically forever due to having a dishwasher.

+1

I actually squirt a little into the pre wash section of the dishwasher. Has to be a little bit otherwise bubbles everywhere.

I did this once when we ran out of dishwasher tablets, opened it when it was finished and it was top to bottom bubbles.

I don’t even squirt fairy and it foams like crazy and cleans. Gravity puts a drop in and that’s enough.

The comments about lathering depend on your water supply's hardness. Much of London is hard to bloody hard, so lathering is more challenging than areas with softer water.

Definitely need more of the cheaper stuff to do the same job.

When you buy it in bigger bottles 5L ones you get it for a 50p a small standard bottle.

My wife works in an animal rescue place - they use fairy for cleaning up loads of disgusting things and apparently its significantly better than anything else they've tried. So yes, if you're pet has crapped on your plates use fairy (or something)

Mix it with sugar, for when you've run out of Swarfega.
The granules also adds some extra stimulation, for those who lube with Fairy.

Try to buy it on offer. You need less of it for the same cleaning effect as supermarket brand. One of the very few things where I actually pay a little more for the branded item (coffee is another).

One large Fairy liquid lasts me a year!

Same. Need less with the branded stuff and as others have said, if you have a dishwasher, you rarely use it anyway!

Because just like B&M everything you buy from Aldi or Lidl is 90% crap and goes off quicker than anything else bought from a decent supermarket.

Fairy all the way, sometimes when i feeling dangerous i buy the fairy lemon version.

Aldi have their fairy competitor - platinum - still cheaper.

It's the same with shampoo - yes ... you often find you use half the quantity of more expensive shampoos eg childs farm versus johnson baby shampoo.

edit : guess I need to study the labels for % of active ingrediants.

Big bottle of Fairy liquid decanted in to an old hand soap dispenser. Same amount every wash. Bottle lasts forever.

I like Aldi Magnum Premium, it lasts ages making the slightly extra in cost worth it.

Merlin5 · 20 Aug 2020 at 16:13

Well I'm getting into a bit of a lather about this, don't want the thread to turn into a soap opera. The shop called 'Savers' is doing Fairy Liquid 433ml regular size bottle for £1 and a massive 1350ml bottle for £2. So, sud it, I might get into my bubble car, splash out and get the 1350ml.

Just got cheap aldi stuff but I reckon fairy liquid is probably superior.
