I've mostly written a cleaning FAQ, explaining the different types of
detergents and other types of cleaners.

Good effort, thank you. Some suggestions:-

Ecover washing up liquid: much better on skin than other washing
liquids. Can strip some household paints. Non toxic. Can also be used
as body wash and shampoo: mix a very little oil in for drier skin and
hair.

Almost completely ineffective as a detergent for cleaning anything
other than skin (I assume it is passable on that - I've never tried
it)

I don't know if this comment is based on experience or prejudice, but
IME it works just fine as a dishwashing detergent. It doesn't produce
loads of froth, but I don't actually care about froth if the plates
are clean.
