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

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.

Yes, I've just about learnt to use "gogle". Is Fairy Liquid a typical
hand dish washing soap ONLY containing surfacants? It doesn't say on
its label.

Just use a lot less per wash than the amount stated on bottle/box.

For a washing machine a product such as fairy liquid is inappropriate -
it will suds up too much and you will spend the rest of your life trying
to get rid of the white foam.

I've always understood you can make soap and glue from fat and bone.
But my bottle of Fairy Liquid does not mention leprechauns on the
label.

It would help to have more context - e.g. instructions for clothing? car
bodywork? a baby? E.g. Persil Silk & Wool and the like are mild
detergents for clothing but likely to raise a few eyebrows at least if
used on your 6 week old baby while, on the other hand, being unlikely to
keep a shine on your jam jar.

Detergents are not soaps

Most of them contain something to make them less runny. And feel
slippery. And scent and a colour. Pure detergent is like water. Teepol
is an example.

I cannot see what a 'mild' detergent is. Detergent is detergent. It's as
stupid as 'a rolling boil cooks stuff quicker'. No it doesn't. Its
boiling at 100C or it isn't boiling at all.

Laundry detergents have other crap in them - softeners and possibly bleaches

I was recommended by a hospital to use Fairy Liquid for washing some
equipment they supplied. They said it's much better than hand soap, as
that contains fats and perfumes. I had been using hand soap, and I can
confirm that Fairy Liquid is miles better.

Bio-D or Ecover. Not detergents (detergents tend to be as noted down
thread). B-D and Ec. liquids are soaps made from coconut oil and the pH
isn't too far from neutral, being slightly acidic.
In the early '90s, Ecover w/u liquid (same base as the laundry liquid) said
on the H&S sheet under ingestion something like 'don't drink too much of it
at once. It was about that time that other such liquids had Bitrex added and
warned abut rinsing well.

Fairy is quite thick so has more body than some you can get, so maybe its
body builders?
I guess being sensible here we need to know what the person meant by
builders!.

Thanks. I too have some equipment that specifies to wash in mild
detergent and as this thread proves finding what product is a mild
detergent is somewhat beyond uk.d-i-y, and indeed manufacturers'
labels. I had been using Fairy Liquid but then tried a mild soap
(well I think it is mild soap - Wilco brand). I'll now revert to your
hospital recommendation.
