What's the best liquid hand soap?!

[Flingmoo]

Wasn't sure if this comes under S&B or housekeeping but what's the best liquid hand soap?!

I'm basing this on 2 main factors, smell and poshness of the bottle Basically, what smells nice AND looks nice on your bathroom sink.

(Have tried decanting into a dispenser and got bored of it after a year or two so now I'm just interested in ones that already come in a nice bottle...)

[IHaveBrilloHair]

I really like Pears, it's not posh of course but it's a classic and smells nice.
I have the bar in the bathroom and the liquid in the kitchen, they smell different.

[Nanasueathome]

Molton Brown Rhubarb and Rose

[MackerelOfFact]

Well it kind of depends what smells you like and how much you want to spend!

TK Maxx do hundreds of posh-looking hand soaps from about £3.99, that's where I'd try first! Just sniff them all until you find a bottle and scent you like.

Method pink grapefruit

[DandelionAndBedrock]

Method - I like sweet water and the foaming version is really soft on your skin.

When I lived in Paris there was an amazing rose hand wash that I used - it was so good my non-French speaking friend apologised that she thought she had used the wrong bottle because it was so nice

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

Aldi version of Molton Brown.

[Madbengalmum]

I like method for my kitchen sink and Espa or Elemis for the bathroom, Espas hand washes are the nicest by far and i have tried them all. Pricey, but they last months.

"Poshness of bottle" definitely TK Maxx. Lots of lovely apothecary looking bottles with French labels. I might have bought one or 10 too many.

[MsRinky]

Noble Isle. Outrageously expensive though.

[squiz81]

I generally get method. They smell nice, they don't dry out your skin and I like the look of the bottle. I do have some Waitrose own soap on the go at The moment too, that is also very nice.

If your budget is higher Neals Yard make a lovely hand soap

[StiffenedPleat]

White Company Verveine hand and nail set (hand wash and hand cream) or Jo Malone.

[TheRollingCrone]

Neals yard orange and geranium hand wash. Heavenly!

[PickAChew]

For me, none of them. Either the smell bothers me, or they irritate my skin.

[DramaAlpaca]

Same as PickAChew. I buy whichever unperfumed one is on special offer.

[LadyPenelopeCantDance]

Jo Malone or Molton Brown can't be be beaten on smell!

[Madbengalmum]

Ladyp, i think Espa has the edge on these for quality and fragrance now.

[RemusLupinsChristmasMovie]

Method or Waitrose own brand here, generally.

[Strummerville]

Came on to say Dr Bronner's as I bloody love that stuff, but the bottles are more WTF than posh

[luckylavender]

Homesense always has a great selection. I like Molton Brown, L'Occitane, and Liz Earle. Also Pears as someone mentioned, Original Source & the Waitrose Essentials ones.

[redcaryellowcar]

My preferred hand soap is l'occitane verbena, you can get refills too if you are eco conscious? I like neals yard too but worry about glass bottles on tiled floors as have clumsy husband and dc!

[Judydreamsofhorses]

I watched a programme just before Christmas where they did a blind test with handwashes - Molton Brown actually came last! I like the Neals Yard but do worry about it falling into the basin...

[Grindelwaldswand]

I use radox or the carex sweetie scented ones

[luckylavender]

The Radox grapefruit one is great too

[UncomfortableBadger]

Head to TK Maxx - lots of really lovely unusual brands

We're currently using a particularly fabulous lavender, thyme and rosemary concentrated handwash by Om She in a huge 500ml bottle in our kitchen - a mere £3.99. Will last us months!

[cauliflowercheese14]

Second TKMaxx, I had lots of visitors over Xmas so wanted nice soaps and shower gels available, got some lovely Pecksniffs liquid soap that will last months after impressing my guests!
