I though "fairy" was detrimental to rubber seals long term...
It is exceedingly good on the inside of skid lid vizors as an anti misting agent, no other washing liquid comes close.
However! As it is made by P&G i cant use it, there is nothing in our house made by P&G because we have three cats & three dogs & i am an animal lover....
Iamms do animal testing, they are part of P&G...
Rubber has its own longivity, or life span, its going to deteriorate with or without a fairy liquid, I laid new drainage in one of my houses, I used fairy liquid to push the 100mm PVC fittings, that was 10 years ago, so far no adverse effect on my drainage, and I am 60, what happens after I am gone, is someone else's problem, I had to replace them because the old ones made of clay had cracked in a few places, so if I had to go through the trouble of replacing my drains, why should someone else not have to go through the same ordeal! ha ha! (BTW, I bought and laid my own drains, paid from my own pocket and not claimed a penny from any insurance companies or anyone, as I do not believe in paying through my nose for a house insurance. I rather take a gamble and if my house catches fire then tough! ****e happens as they say, but i will not scumb to paying huge insurance charges! You won't get one anyway if you lived in a flood zone!
As for animals, yes I love them too, I have 11 cats, and they won't eat anything other than temptations! crazy buggers! Oh another thing I said about how careful you need to treat your drains, they have been handling all that cat waste quite well so far! i flush it down the pan rather than save it for the bin lads!
Guess what, Air is detrimental to steel and iron, so why do they keep making cars in steel? why do they keep using steel to make cars despite knowing that air reacts with iron, and in less than 10 years it can corrode a whole car if it was not painted well!
(The only thing that will be left of any car would be 4 rubber tyres! )
