A woman has tested out a £2.50 Fairy washing up liquid which could help households save on their energy bills. The "brilliant" item recently left Wilko and Tesco shoppers in a rush to snap one up.
While more expensive than other washing up liquids, this Fairy formula promises to wash dishes in cool water. Some were put off by the idea of washing the dishes in a cold sink, but others were keen to give it a go, as it can now cost around 96p to wash your dishes by hand in hot water.
Thankfully, the Mirror's Danielle Kate Wroe decided to try it out for herself. The lifestyle expert opted for the new Christmas scent, Wild Berry, and shared her thoughts after trying the washing up liquid.
Danielle said: "I'd always believed that in order to wash your dishes hygienically, you needed warm water. But it turns out I was so very wrong.
"Mind-bogglingly, I found that the washing-up liquid performs just as well as your classic Fairy liquid - or any other washing up liquid for that matter. I must admit, it was a little bit bizarre putting my hands in cold, sudsy water, but I was impressed that the suds were present, despite the lack of warmth.
"After washing the dishes, they were as clean and sparkling as they would've been if I'd used warm water - so it's a win-win for me."
She adds that while £2.50 might seem like a lot for washing up liquid, it's likely a good investment given how much you could save by not using any hot water in your sink. Danielle recommends the products as making this swap would be a really great way to save money amid the rising cost of living.
