Sounds like some nice hair tonic! :shock:

"washing up liquid"? Hand soap? Dish soap?

Thanks!
I wouldn't try to put it on your hair.........................
I wouldn't either... That was a try at humor.

The question was however, what is "washing up liquid"? Is it hand soap? Is it dish soap? or ???
"Washing up liquid" is what our UK friends call liquid dish soap, like Dawn or similar.

I believe "washing up liquid" is the British term for dish soap.
