I was the youngest. I used the residue of whatever the rest of the family had left in the bath. I sometimes came out filthier than I was when I got in it.

I still wash my hair with washing up liquid from time to time.

It's great for stripping product, colour and grease out your hair

I was addicted to the smell of vosene when I was pregnant with my eldest. Carried a bottle with me everywhere

We quite often used washing up liquid when I was a kid. Posh toiletries where a luxury

Pears soap and imperial leather for soap.
