Pigpen - what are you doing to us????? I cant cope with this level of change lol

Valli - what I do is use 1/3 stardrops, 1/3 white vinegar and 1/3 water. Pour this into a spray bottle and you're good to go. I use mine everywhere, including windows. I also use it on carpet stains, but please test on a small hidden area if you plan to try this Would hate for you to ruin a carpet because of me

foreversomeday - how is the oven going? welcome to the thread

I don't really get on with stardrops - just use it for bathroom floor. I use micro cloths and hot water for most things. I love white vinegar - we live in a very hard water area and it disolves limescale like nothing else. I use lemons once squeezed in the dishwasher as a deodorizer. To clean windows I have a spray bottle with approx 1 part vinegar to 10 parts water and a couple of drops of stardrops.

Evening all!
Busy day today! Still have managed to put away birthday prezzies for DD2, get DS eyes tested and some work and some flying! Must be the heat that's doing it!

Slight mishap this afternoon when smoke was billowing out of the laundry room - I think I may have broken my tumble drier:eek: :eek: I was just finishing off some towels to stop them being as stiff as cardboard! (The joys of living in such a hard water area!)

DH is currently taking said tumble drier to pieces to find the cause of the problem!- Still, should keep him out of mischief!

Am hoping to do a bit more flying tonight - no ironing at the moment - and then chill for a bit later.

Hugs (gently) for Mudbath!
Tia - congrats!!
SSL - still sending positive thoughts!

Right - I 'm off - probably sneak back later not having achieved very much!!

I just popped to the nurse at my practise because I know her and finger had gone very, very big. She stuck a needle thing in the nail and in the pad and the blood nearly hit the ceiling. Most impressive. I've to go back tomorrow to get it released again. DD is freaked. DS thinks i'm well cool!!! I'm just happy it doesn't hurt. xx

Well done Mudbath - that was the best thing to do - ooh you are brave - I couldnt have done that!!:eek:

I just use stardrops for cleaning and that's it (apart from bleach for my loo). I've not moved up to lemon yet - obviously i'm not keen enough! xx

I hadnt heard of stardrops until I came on here - what is it? Where do you get it? Is it cheaper to use than the branded cleaning solutions?

questions questions - sorry but I am beginning to get into this cleaning lark ! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: ....that'll be right!!!!
