    Hi all,

    I went into Savers yesterday and bought several packs of 3 cloths (assorted colours) for 99p and stocked up on stardrops. I cleaned the shower and tiles this morning with the stardrops and it's come up a treat.

    As for cleaning the cloths, the kitchen ones i pop into the dishwasher spread out on the top rack. all other ones I soak in either Milton or Steradent overnight.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I got two in Tescos this morning for my mum @ 99p each, only ones they had. Then I went get some Stardrops out of Semichem in town and what did I see... microfibre cloths, 3 for 99p, they had lime green, a mid bluey/grey colour, white and orange. Typical. Oh well... at least I know they are there. The cloths are about the size of a regular wash flannel. Around 33p a cloth, cheapest yet. Every other place I've seen they are £1 a piece. They are not as thick as the Tesco ones but good enough for the price. Wouldn't go back to regular dusters etc now since I found about these.

    They are really cheap as well if you know where to shop, the best place to get them are in a shop called Half Price or Less, I got mine for 39p!

    Go there and go to store finder, the only problem is that the stores are in the middle of England!

    Hi,

    the Stardrops was 59p in Savers so I bought a couple of them.

    A question for you. I used to work part time as a carer a while back and i went to this lady who was in the final stages of cancer. anyway, she had very thin skin by then and had been given a microfibre 'towel' to dry herself with. She loved this because all she had to do was pat herself with it and she was dry in seconds with no rubbing.

    Now, I don't have thin skin or owt, but wouldn't mind getting one of these - useful for folk with dogs too I should imagine. Anyone got one or know where to get one? otherwise i might have to sew a patchwork one from my cleaning cloths! ; /
