Ideally, yes. Nobody wants the lingering taste of soap in their Sunday roast, and leftover washing up liquid can leave unattractive smears on glass. Anionic (negatively charged) surfactants, which include sulfates, sulfonates, and gluconates. They are the most commonly used surfactant, and are great for “particulate soil” (bitty dirt) but not so good with oil. Even after decades of use, Morning Fresh continues to be the most trusted dishwashing liquid on the market. Thanks to its unique blend of natural ingredients and advanced cleaning technologies, you can rest assured that your dishes will sparkle. Plus, our easy-to-use bottle design makes it simple to get started when it's time for those tough cleaning tasks Mildly scented. Egg needs 45 seconds and a good scrub but Weetabix cleans up perfectly well with a light scrub. Does well with extra oil – just a hint of smell and clean plates. Couple of drips on the dried plates and a tiny bit of grease but pretty good for the price. Thin liquid (maybe as it has to go through a pump?) which smells of sweet shops. On egg, needs 30 seconds and mostly cloth work plus a finish with a scrubby. For Weetabix I scrubbed so hard I broke a sweat and the plate still dried with greasy marks. There’s a distinct lingering smell on the clean plates.

So our CHOICE Expert Rating includes both the foam test and the scrub test, but we've given a far higher weighting to the scrub test (90%) as grime removal is ultimately the best indication of a top performing product.Dirty dishes piling up? Washing up is the chore we do most often. Few of us go through a day without squeezing a bottle of washing-up detergent into the sink; even if there’s a dishwasher for the plates and mugs, some things just make more sense to clean by hand. This basically means that you'd need to scrub just a little harder with the Aldi dishwashing liquid to get the same result as with the Morning Fresh liquid. Small price to pay for such a big saving, surely? Close second: Aldi's Tandil Ultra Power Soak N' Clean gave the more expensive product a run for its money. Clean winner? How the top two compare Don't let stubborn food particles ruin your day - with Morning Fresh you can have a reliable solution at your fingertips every time you need it. As a well established brand on a global scale, we take pride in delivering an efficient yet safe clean for all types of dishes and pans. So why settle for anything less than perfection? Choose Morning Fresh and enjoy superior results - guaranteed!

Most of us use more washing up liquid than we need to, which wastes money, time and water (as rinsing takes longer). The recommended dose varies between brands, but you shouldn’t need more than 5ml (1.5 teaspoons or a couple of squirts) of non-concentrated formula per five litres of water. Smells of lemon fruit pastilles, but I miss the green colouring which masks the dirty water better. The egg plate needs 25 seconds in the water and a bit of a scrub; for dried-on Weetabix the plate needed a bit of elbow grease but did the job. A faint “meaty” smell on the clean plates, which aren’t that shiny. However, detergents are mostly made using petrochemicals, and some degrade much more readily than others. Eco brands generally use plant-based detergents, or at least ones which break down speedily and harmlessly – that said, there is little regulation, so it is worth scrutinising the claims made.

For nearly 40 years, Morning Fresh has been one of the leading washing up liquids worldwide. Our superior grease cutting power and performance make it the ideal product to clean dishes safely and effectively. Just one squirt will leave your dishes sparkling and fresh every time The scrub test assesses how well the detergent removes different types of stains: rice starch, bolognese sauce and egg yolk. Stained plates are soaked in a 1% solution of the test detergent for 10 minutes before being scrubbed a set number of times with a wet sponge. The most important ingredients are surfactants, responsible for lifting dirt and holding it in the water. There are three kinds in washing-up liquid: We use a spectrophotometer (a fancy measuring device) to test exactly how clean the plate is after scrubbing. And we repeat this process four times and the scores are averaged for consistency. The foam test
