    It says on the bottle that stardrops is a multi surface cleaner but what do people who buy it clean with it
    if that makes sense lol

    I clean everything with it - floors, upholstery, carpets, paintwork, bathroom, tiles, doors, kitchen cabinets. I only don't clean the worksurfaces with it because it is quite strong smelling and I am afraid it may taint. I actually love the smell of it - it reminds me of when I was little because my Mum always used it!!

    Hi - I know that may seem a daft question, but can you use any type of vinegar or it is just white vinegar? Do you know if you can use these cloths on leather and my 3 piece suite is in desperate need of a clean and can't find anything to do the job really well!

    I would think they will be great on leather, if marks are stuborn rub the cloth onto a bar of soap, then wipe clean with a rinsed cloth. :D

    If anyone is taking advantadge of the 15% Quidco cashback offer for Tchibo online this month, they might want to add a pack of 3 microfibre flannels for £2.99 to their basket. (+ 0.45p cashback per pack at Quidco, if I got my sums right)

    Check them here They are 25cm square
    Standard postage for Tchibo is £3.95
    My first reply was witty and intellectual but I lost it so you got this one instead :D
    Proud to be a chic shopper

    I use stardrops for the first time today
    Its amazing i put 1 tablespoon in 8 pints of water(like it says)
    didnt smell a lot but i cleaned my paintwork,floor tiles,laminate flooring,glass shelves, mirror, i even tried it on my windows when i done all the glass i used a dry microfibre cloth to buff
    as i was on a cleaning frenzy today i changed the water 4 times and used 4 different cloths but have hardly used any of the stardrops
    i used to buy flash all purpose and it lasted a week
    i know this bottle on general cleaning will last me ages but as im spring cleaning i will use more
    Thankyou to all who mentioned stardrops and microfibre cloths:D

    I was so impressed by these microfibre cloths I went to ASDA this PM and came home and cleaned the cooker hob.

    I was very impressed.
