Buy Fenwicks instead, 1litre of concentrate (£10) makes 11 litres of bike wash (91p a litre)
Plus it's better at cleaning & you can use it neat as a degreaser.

Sounds good, where do you get that from?0

I think established wisdom is that cheap washing up liquid is best avoided - very high salt content? Personally I find Fenwicks great - requires a little more agitating than Muc-Off when diluted but my lbs reckons its much easier on bike components!0

lol, do a search and you may find that its bullcrap! i've always used washing up liquid, as have quite a few other people on here.... no BB has dissolved, no calipers have disintegrated no paint has peeled off.
If you follow the instructions as per muc-off (ie don't leave on for more that 2 mins) no damage will be done.0 -

I only use washing up liquid and it work well for me. some of my mate use muc-off and highly recommended but the washing up liquid get the same job done and it is alot cheaper.
if you still worry about the salt content of the washing up liquid then just make sure you don't leave it on for too long."It is not impossible, its just improbable"

Plus.... theres more salt in the dirt grit and muddy water you find on trails than there is in a touch of daisy! I take it you ride round with your bike in a plastic bag?

I got 5 litres of Muc Off and a brush kit for free last week.
The company I work for sold some machinery to them and our installation engineer used a technique known as "blagging" to get loads of freebies!! 0 -
git!
I got a free box of rustlers burgers last week... taste like crap, but they're free!0 -
i water down the muc off a bit to make it go further - still works perfectly0

Supermarket own-brand washing up liquid and warm water.You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.0 -
The cheapest way I've found is to stare at it in a stern and authoritive manner, if that doesn't work back of the shed with it and ride another bike!

Must admit I've started using washig up liquid as it's way cheaper than Mucoff and does the job.
It's also better for cleaing your drive train due to splendid degreasing properties.0 -
Virosol or CitraClean. 5ltrs for about £7 on eBay and lasts forever. Will get anything off anything and with varying concentrations can be good for a wash at about 1:100 or for cassette degrease/clean etc neat, but not much needed. Enviro friendly but packs a punch!0

But it's not £7 for 5 litres though, the p&p is a further £6.85!!
