Soap Flakes
I did try to use soap flakes to wash up. I did not find it pleasant. Yes it cleaned the pots but everything was so slippery that it was a stressful experience. If you want to try this I advise you to make a soap stew as it seems to take a while for the pure flakes to dissolve. You can also use the stew for washing your hair. You can find out more here.
Washing Up Liquid
Then I found that I can get my ECOVER washing up liquid bottle refilled at Half Moon Health Foods 6 Half Moon Street , Huddersfield. If you are not local then Ecover have a postcode search on their site to find the nearest refill point:
So though the bottle is indeed plastic it can be reused many many times. I now have three bottles on the go - that allows for forgetting to take the empty into town, not once, not twice - but for weeks at a time. But I can proudly say I have thrown away no washing up bottles since.

Great info on your website which I found via Ciy to Sea which I joined a year ago.
Please note that you need to correct a link above under Washing Up Liquid - the ‘postcode search’ link goes to a UK marketing database website instead of to Ecover.
