    On an emergency trip to Sainsbury's to buy white spirit (long story) i noticed Stardrops lurking on the bottom shelf got very excited and had to buy some there and then! I haven't actually used it yet but then i am in the process of unpacking after moving house! I plan to clean the bathroom this weekend so hopefully it will bring that up a treat!!

    Has anyone seen 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding'? I think I've turned into the main character's dad, who considers Windowlene a cure for everything - except my cure for everything is Stardrops!!! :T

    Does it have bleach in it or other strong chemicals - got an allergy to strong chemicals.

    I would always recommend you use rubber gloves for any cleaning jobs anyway. You can develop allergies to things even after using them for years - it's not worth the risk.
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    I've just rediscovered this report - apparently Stardrops is more eco-friendly than ecover ... now there's a thought - money saving and green too, it doesn't get much better than this!

    i've used Stardrops for the last 2 months and absolutely love it. I mainly use it for cleaning the top of the cooker, used neat it really shines. I've cleaned the tiled floors and the wooden floors and even washed the dishes with itSomeons i know has even washed their hair in it, but i havent gone that far yet. i love it !

    Purchased my first bottle today and planning to attack the bathroom and kitchen this weekend. Quick question, does anyone know if stardrops are safe to use on Acrylic baths?

    Has anyone else found that the new round stardrops bottles are not very good? The lids don't seem to fit properly and it goes everywhere when you try to pour it. And it takes up more space in the cupboard. I hate it and it's really got my goat! I've even condsidered being one of those mad people who writes to the manufacturers to complain! Funny how something so trivial can matter so much... or is it just me?

    I bought my first bottle this week too & yesterday thought I'd do the thing where you run the washing machine [empty] on its hottest setting.......:whistle: .....

    You've seen that ad where people are dancing in the streets filled with foam right:D

    I promise you, it was the tiniest squirt of Stardrops into the soap drawer! I use liquid & never softner so thought there wouldn't be anything in there to 'froth up' :o

    At least the kitchen floor looks wonderful :p
