Washing Up Liquid

Do you remember back in the old days when a squeezy bottle full of cold water and your enemies, the vile Roberts brothers, about to walk past your cunningly concealed ambush, was the height of fun. Obviously arming your troops was of paramount importance and demand for weapons was high. These days of course, the availability of high powered water pistols and the fact that I am actually an adult, has meant I no longer need to stockpile empty, washing-up liquid bottles.

In fact, as they are of course plastic, they need to be eradicated from my life. See plastic refusenik for the reasons why I dont use plastic bottles.
I did try to use soap flakes to wash up. Though I was assured this was possible, I did not find it a pleasant experience. I also tried using soap flakes to make washing up liquid – again not a success.

Then I found that I can get my ECOVER washing up liquid bottle refilled with more of the environmentaly sound good stuff at Half Moon Health Foods 6 Half Moon Street , Huddersfield

So though the bottle is indeed plastic it can be reused many many times.

I now have three bottles on the go – that allows for forgetting to take the empty into town not once not twice but for weeks at a time. But I can proudly say I have thrown away no washing up bottles since.
