Product Information

Maintaining a clean and healthy environment is vitally important for you and your family. We’ve got a huge selection of cleaning products including anti-bacterial sprays and wipes. These will make sure that harmful germs and bacteria don’t stand a chance on tables, countertops and other kitchen surfaces. And once you’ve given everything a wipe down, dry your surfaces with a kitchen roll or tissue.

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. 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. 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. Washing-up liquids have multiple active ingredients, including surfactants, detergents, hydrotropes and antibacterial chemicals. Surfactants lift grease and dirt, and are also involved in generating foam. So when the bubbles have gone, the surfactants have too. The detergents and antibacterial chemicals will still be active, so you can carry on cleaning without the foam, but the washing-up liquid won't perform as well.

Simón Ruiz, Alfonso (28 August 2014). "Fairy, el lavavajillas del pueblo de Villarriba". Cinco Días (in Spanish). In the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary similar P&G products are sold as Jar (pronunciation /yar/) and has been available since the 1960s. [9] Its name comes from Janeček (then CEO of the company) and Ranný (the product inventor), [10] but coincidentally it means spring in Czech and Slovakian. The name is synonymous for detergent in Czech Republic and Slovakia. 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? Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned.

Fairy soap bars were originally manufactured by Newcastle upon Tyne company Thomas Hedley Co., which was acquired by Procter & Gamble in 1927. It’s not magic, but it is clever. Washing up liquid contains molecules with two parts – one loves water and the other hates it. The hydrophobic side grabs onto grease (i.e. the food residue on your plate) but the hydrophilic side is stronger and pulls the molecule into the water, taking all that oil and grime with it. How much washing up liquid should I use? Fairy is also sold in Germany: in 2000 it was briefly renamed Dawn (the brand used in the North American market), but, after sharply declining sales due to an unfamiliar brand, the Fairy name was revived in 2002.

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.

Ideally, yes. Nobody wants the lingering taste of soap in their Sunday roast, and leftover washing up liquid can leave unattractive smears on glass.In Sweden and Norway, P&G premium dishwashing products are branded as Yes, as seen on the adjacent picture. It was introduced in 1961 and is by far the biggest-selling detergent in Sweden. [8] We now examine the eco-credentials of each washing-up liquid that we test, so that you can make a more informed buying decision. Our tough-grease test simulates cleaning leftover fat from grilling meat or roasting potatoes off metal cookware. What is its environmental impact?
