Palmolive Ultra Original

This is such a good detergent to use. It cleans my dishes and pans very well. My dinnersets etc are always sparkling clean. I also use it to wash mirrors and glass.I have no need to change products even if there are cheaper options. I have one complaint, I don't like the cap top, I've had 3 bottles where it breaks and I find it NOT EASY to put it… Read more

back on. It's a ridiculously silly cap for especially the 1.5ltr bottle. Please find another lid option.

Hopeless, poor quality, worst I have ever used, won’t remove grease, has to wash twice, still no perfect! What a waste of money!!! Never again! Show details

It doesn't clean very well and super strong fragrance – This is a terrible dishwashing liquid I never had, it doesn't clean very well. Another one called "Divine Blend Lotus Flower & Sea" has a super strong fragrance that stays on the dish, you couldn't rinse it off and transfer the fragrance to your food, I have to tip the meal to the bin, just disgusting!

Not good anymore – Used be good now it's useless. Used it for years and so did my parents. Clearly the product has changed because it does not clean anything and does not remove grease at all. Will never buy again. Have just tried a competing brand that works very well. Show details

Hopeless, not worth a cracker , worst I have ever used, must have changed the ingredients, never purchase again – Won’t suds up, won’t remove grease , use twice as much for a terrible clean Show details

Rubbish – Have been using palmolive for at least 30 years and I always thought it was great but now it seems to be liquid without the detergent. Does NOT cut through grease. Won't be using anymore. Show details

Need to look around for another soap detergent for washing up – I have always used Palmolive for the dishes for decades. My mother used it before me. Recently, I have noticed that it doesn't suds up. The soap remains flat and dispersed on top of the water. I find that I have to use double the liquid just to get some bubbles/suds. I wonder why they would mess with something that people have always used and is obviously popular? Need to look for alternative. Show details

superb – Been using palm olive original and getting superb results Smells great too Doesnt leave any chemical residue and is gentle on skin Great grease emulsifier Gives dishes a shine and cleans sink as well 5 stars Show reply

Quality degraded – We have used Palmolive for a long time but at the latest stock up we noticed quality has changed significantly. Perfume is different and it's so diluted. Clearly Palmolive is cutting corners. Not happy. Need to find a new brand now. Show details

Perfume change – I noticed the perfume change and decided to look and see if it had changed... seems it has. I noticed the change because it is now making me feel ill, it is genuinely awful. Show details

Not for sensitive skin – Nice soapy smells nice does its job overall but its not for dry or sensitive skin it irritates and breaks the skin so if you have either of these skin types wear gloves or buy the purple one which is a bit more kinder to those with dry or sensitive skin Show details

New scent – I have been using Palmolive green washing up detergent for over forty years. But you have changed the scent! I do not like it al all it makes me nauseous, it smells like Woolworths home brand liquid which I hate, it works as in it cleans the dishes but it smells awful. I am sorry but I will not be buying yours again until the scent returns to the original Terry Show details

Palmolive is the best to go detergent for washing dishes without drying your hands – Hi, I have been using Palmolive to wash my dishes on a daily basis even without the use of gloves, my dishes came out squeekly clean and the best thing about this dishwashing detergent is that it does not cause irritation or dryness to my hands at all. I was using another well known brand and probably more expensive as well, which causes the… Read more

creases of my fingers skin to peel painfully. As soon as I have switched to Palmolive that issue has gone completely and I am so happy and grateful for this product.

Although on tough stains/burns/residue this liquid alone does not perform very well even with tough scrubbing which then causes the pots and pans to scratch so not recommended on tough stains or oven trays, but overall a fantastic detergent that gives lots of foam and strong enough to clean dishes and cooktops for general every day use.

Tip: for pots and pans stains, put warm water and some detergent inside the pot then leave for a while before wash. The stains will come out easily without rough scrubbing

OR

Put some water in the pot then bring to a boil to remove stains

Thank you.

Nozzle keeps clogging up – The only thing to stop me from from giving this a 5 star rating is that every time I have ever bought this product the nozzle tends to clog up with the build up and I have to clean it with a tooth pick all the time. Very annoying I think you need to work on a solution for that one cheers

same as the normal liquid – not so strong, had to use a lot to clean dishes. i feel that its not so different to the normal dishwashing liquid. would have bought the generic brands rather than paying for this one. smell also not somstrong compared to other brands in the market. would not buy it again

Beats the competition, hands down – I wrote a scathing review of Morning Fresh - once a great product, now it's about the worst product on the market. I tried Blast - and it does a fantastic job. However, I also tried Palmolive and it's easily as good as Blast. One of my biggest bugbears is cleaning a pot after cooking popcorn kernels. The oil seems to soak in and it's quite… Read more

difficult to remove. Morning Fresh will not remove the oil, even with a solid squirt (most probably about 10ml of detergent). Blast does a good job with about 1/2 that amount (5ml). Palmolive did a good job of cleaning my popcorn oil infused pot with about 2ml of detergent.

My other test is the "froth" test. I got about 1ml of Palmolive with a little water and frothed it in a milkshake maker. The foam was very thick and filled almost the entire container. Blast gave me about 2/3 of the bubbles for the same amount of detergent - and Morning Fresh gave me about 1/10th of the bubbles of Palmolive. Why are the bubbles important? Because they trap the dirt/grease to clean it.

In summary: Palmolive Ultra Concentrate is currently the best (despite a terrible pouring lid designed to cause spills and cause wastage). Blast is the best bottle v/s performance. Morning Fresh is a terrible product - avoid it, no matter how cheap it is. Maybe use the old Morning Fresh bottle with your new Palmolive liquid - you get the best of both!!

about average – I sometimes buy the Palmolive dishwashing liquid when low on dishwashing liquid supplies and found it does a good job to do the dishes though have to use extra amount of liquid to make the palmolive dishwashing liquid lather up compared to the super concentrated dishwashing liquids / I totally recommend this dishwashing liquids for the budget conscious

The top nozzle is always blocking up – This product is frustrating and a right pain in the neck to use. The only way to really use it is to rip the green nozzle off and throw it in the bin. The problem with this is you use more product. Hey! Maybe thats what they want you to do. They say you need to use less as it is ultra but infact you use more because when you squeeze and the… Read more

nozzle is partly blocked you end up dumping huge amounts when it gives way. Rather use their normal strength product.

An average dishwashing liquid thats been around for a long time – I have tried this one a couple of times in the past, but somehow it never impressed me enough to keep purchasing it on a regular basis. I find the fragrance a bit too strong and I prefer a lemon fragrance rather than this Original scent which is a bit perfumey for me. It comes in a convenient sized bottle, which ofcourse isnt the 1 litre size, so… Read more

you arent really getting great value for money. It is supposed to be a bit concentrated, so you should be using less of it to clean a lot more dishes, but it doesnt really work out like that. Overall, I wasnt too satisfied with this one although I have tried it a number of times. The bottle size is easy to pour and its a bit thicker so it doesnt run out of the bottle like some of the cheaper ones. I found the smell a bit too strong and it didnt really clean so well, its just average for me. And I can get the same quality at a much cheaper price.

Never again - top is always blocked! – The top of this bottle continually gets blocked and is a pain to unblock. It drives me crazy! I had this problem once before and vowed never to buy it again but forgot, and bought it again and it is even worse than last time. Liquid is fine, it's just the container top. Liquid is fine. Does the job (when you can get it out) TERRIBLE top on the… Read more

bottle is constantly blocked regardless of lid being open or closed and really hard to unblock (at times impossible!)

Excellent – A good dish washing liquid for hand washing. A little goes a long way and your dishes will feel clean and sparkle. I never dry up and just rinse inhot water. I have never had any issues with the crockery and glasses drying with streaks. Just love Palmolive. Its been around for a long time and the product has stood the test of time. A little… Read more ·  2

bit of the cleaner goes a long way. It is easy to use and the crockery rinses off well to leave a sparkling finish. This ticks most of my boxes for a godd product in that it is economical and does the job well. Nothing really
