I bought this handwash at first without even realising it is BUAV certified (happy bunny when I found out!). I have all three of the above handwashes in my flat, but there are a few more to choose from, with refill options and they come in various sizes. Click here for some more options!

I have one in each of my bathrooms and one in my kitchen. They last for ages and are quite cheap at £0.83 for one 250ml size. There are usually offers on and right now you can buy two for £1.20! Ideal! All Sainsbury's handwash range are BUAV certified and if you are not sure, check the back of the bottle and there should be a hopping bunny logo: 

at the toilet. 

These products are also paraben free. I had never really heard of this compound, which is used extensively in cosmetics, toothpastes, shampoos, moisturisers etc. They are used as preservatives and are low in cost, which is why they are found throughout a wide selection of products and in some foods. The use of parabens, however, is now a subject of controversy as traces of this compound have been found in breast cancer tumours and also due to its ability to mimic the hormone estrogen. Estrogen, which is synthesised in vertebrates and some insects, is a natural occurring hormone, but as 80% of breast cancers rely on estrogen to grow once they are established, it could be a contributing factor to increasing occurrences of breast cancer discovered in women. It may also explain the increasing prevalence of early puberty in girls. So, in conclusion, I don't think I'll be crying over the fact that these handwashes are paraben free!

There is not much you can say about handwash - it does the job! Keeps the germs at bay, smells lovely, keeps your hands soft and comes in a variety of colours so you can accessorise any bathroom or kitchen! We all use a lot of handwash, so why not choose a brand that is not responsible for cruel, painful experiments carried out on mice, rats, rabbits, guinea-pigs, cats and dogs! Buy the peaceful solution and wash your hands of germs and guilt!

It sells online for £5.99 or £6.00 in Sainsbury's, but I was lucky to purchase this when it was on offer and got it for £3.50! Woop! It says on the packaging it lasts for 25 washes and you need four squirts per wash. 

I used this on a dark wash which was a fairly heavy load (had a few towels, trackies, underwear and some t-shirts). The first thing I noticed was the smell - it was fresh and clean - honestly like opening your window on a cold, crisp day. It was lovely. Removing the packaging (which is a tiny piece of plastic securing the top), I twisted the pump so it popped up and was ready to use. 

You can either squirt the liquid directly on to your washing or into the drawer of your machine. I opted for the drawer (for no reason other than because I had already shut my washing machine door!). It said on the back 4 pumps were enough for 1 wash - and so I followed the instructions and was met with an ominous yellow substance. To be honest, when you're used to adding a good couple of hundred millilitres of washing detergent or a tablet of some sort, 4 little squirts of this sets the alarm bells ringing. Will this honestly be enough to wash my boyfriend's football socks? My towels? Some even covered in hairs and make-up? 

I had my doubts.......Which, ladies and gents, I can tell you now was silly! I set my washing machine to 30 degrees and went about my day. After a while I returned when my washing machine kindly (and not in any way annoyingly) beeped at me when it had finished. 

My clothes and towels were clean and fresh and smelled great! I had no problems whatsoever. It did everything it said it would do and did not let me down! Everything was as clean (if not cleaner!) than when I had used Ariel or whatever non-animal friendly product. Remember please don't be scared to try products because you have never heard of them! There are better and cheaper products out there - take a chance and like me, you will be pleasantly rewarded!

Now, in the absence of a cap, I was a little scared in the chaos of my cleaning box, the liquid might accidentally spill out, but there have been no mishaps to report so far, so it is most likely me being over-critical! 

Also, the packaging is made from 50% recycled plastic and there is a refill option to reduce plastic waste even more. The refill costs £14.00, but that contains 1020ml of detergent, so overall you are saving £6.40 (get one for free!). It is available in three fragrances Free & Clear, Fresh Air and Peony Blossom.
