Hi Gary,
Never heard it. As it stands, it would mean "using" vs. "not using." If you mean the virtues of a particular brand, use "a washing-up liquid."

Thank you Avangi.
Actually this is not my sentence. It is a sentence from the Cambridge dictionary and I post that question to learn the meaning of "washing-up liquid".

Ah, then it's British. It's that thick detergent you dilute with water and use (generally with a sponge) to wash dishes, cutlery, pans etc.
