Fairy Liquid users - are your bubbles rubbish too?

Trivial frowning..
Have any of you Fairy Liquid washer uppers noticed a reduction in the power of the Fairy?
My bubbles aren't so big and disappear really quickly.
Is this where our society is taking us? Everything we trusted becoming weaker?

Bubbles??? Really.. Do you know that the fish in our rivers and seas are dying. Fairy kills aquatic life, it's called forever chemicals, silicones, colour,, phosphatees, phalates, but the forever chemicals, go from your sink into the waterways and pretty suffocate, and posing aquatic life, all of it.. That effects ducks too. But if course!! You want your bubbles!

What do you use, then? 🤷‍♀️

ECOVER, there are lots of non toxic washing liquids, method is another.
Look for cheaper online, that are non poisonous to aquatic life , non forever chemical ones.

Fairy has over 40 %share of the market and powerful advertising....
Thank you for asking 😀

Yes.....not as good now or been watered down like everything else, now they are pushing a new range of Fairy Max at twice the price, no idea if its any good. Our favourite was Asda Orange range but its now discontinued and found it better than Fairy.

Hmmm, I've had to climb down from the high horse, in regards to Fairy (the expensive one) Max.
A friend had it on her sink early last year when I paid a visit, and I asked what her impression was.
She said she was delighted with it, it lasted way longer than anything else, and the special dispenser lid meant no more sticky yukky deposits.

I felt quite dismissive, but I saw it on a cheaper special offer, so I took the plunge in early December.... I'm still ustgat same bottle, whereas previously, I'd have long gone on to another bottle of the usual Fairy.

That's my experience, so it might not be yours if you have particularly hard water, or other issues.

Yes, I’ve noticed this too. I just re-fill my Fairy Max Power bottle (I love the bottle!) with Elbow Grease washing up liquid instead.

I’ve tried the Method washing up liquid too (peach and pink pepper), which I love and it lasts ages!

Not just me then. My dishwasher developed a fault a year ago so I have gone back to washing up by hand as there's only two of us but I can't believe how rubbish Fairy is now, especially on baking trays and roasting tins.
I will have to try some alternatives before deciding whether to replace the dishwasher.
I might need to get a whole new kitchen if I don't replace it because I can't think of any way to fill the gap. All for a decent bottle of washing up liquid.

Is it the right size gap for a wine fridge to slot in? Just a thought....

I use Tesco own brand & it's better than fairy which really surprised me
