Washing Up Liquids

Washing up liquids, sometimes called dishwashing liquids, are an essential cleaning chemical used for removing grease, food stains, and residues from dishes, cooking utensils, cutlery, and cookware. Some washing up liquids may have a hazard pictogram on the packaging. Visit our UK REACH page for more information and expertise. Washing up liquids are usually available in liquid or gel form and are a staple in both domestic and commercial settings. There are multiple types of washing up liquids available from Ready To Use formulations for everyday cleaning, to Concentrated formulations ideal for use in heavy duty applications, to eco-friendly formulations which are made from biodegradable ingredients that minimise the environmental impact.

When selecting washing up liquids, you should consider the environment where the product will be used, for example if being used in a domestic environment, then a ready to use formulation will be sufficient. In a domestic, a smaller and handy bottle size will be more compatible. If in a commercial setting where efficiency is required then a concentrated formulation will offer the most value and cleaning performance available. In commercial applications, larger pack size are more effective ensuring you're never caught short. Other considerations include the fragrance such as Citrus, Lemon, Camomile, or Fragrance Free.

Can Washing Up Liquid be used as hand soap?

Although washing up liquid has cleaning properties similar to hand soap, we would not recommend using washing up liquid as hand soap as it may be harmful to skin in the long run and strip away essential oils in the skin. We would always recommend using hand soap which is recommended for use on skin. Find our range of hand wash here.
