Time and again the cleaning/washing instructions are "use a mild

It's hard enough to work out what products are detergents let alone
mild.

So without bothering with all the chemistry etc can someone provide some
examples of what I should buy at the supermarket which is "a mild
detergent" or if Fairy Liquid classifies then it's already in the
kitchen cupboard alongside Bicarb of Soda, Soda crystals and bars of
washing soap.

A mild detergent is typically a hand dish washing soap that only contains
surfactants that dissolve dirt and grease as opposed to a soap that also
contains builders, which would be classified as a moderately strong
detergent.
