It’s surprisingly easy to get small children to wash their hands at the moment, friends report. (Although we do slightly worry about raising a generation of germophobes.)

This, though, ups the pleasure factor: a gentle but effective hand wash from our friends at Bramley, joining their Little B line-up, with a waft of prettily-scented essential oils including mandarin, magnolia, sweet orange and lavender.

And to be honest, the darling illustrations of cute animals (which we note were drawn by our journalist colleague Susannah Taylor) are pretty sure to make grown-up folk in the household go ‘aah’, too.  

The packaging is fully recyclable, as per Bramley’s sustainability commitment – and Little B Natural Hand Wash available in quite a few sizes, from the 100ml through to a 5-litre if you’re really addicted. (That’s a LOT of hand-washing.) We find a pump useful, so you might want to go for the 250ml size (£12).

All together now: ‘Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me…’
