Used neat in the bath and loo and in an old spray bottle and cloth for EVERYWHERE else, painted walls, skirting, doors, whole kitchen the BLINKIN lot!! Just squirt and wipe....fantastic!!:j So now I can stop my cleaning product obbesssion and save money too!!

The new 1 litre bottles of Stardrops are in ASDA at 92p. Don't forget that the old bottles were 600ml.

Hi,I have asked before but no replies on a different thread I read a recipe on here last year for making up a spray bottle of stardrops-which it has taken me 10 months to use up lol! I think it was stardrops vinegar and water. Can anyone tell me how I can make another as it was fab and the litre spray I made up has saved me so much on all the sprays I used to buy for different purposes.

I think I've managed to find the post you wanted but for some reason I can't copy and paste the url.

It's in a thread called 'White vinegar and Stardrops!' posted by Stephen Leak, and is on the second page. A forum search should take you there.

nb Just tried a search and it didn't work so here is what Stephen wrote:

The 'general-purpose' spray mix, as formulated by Kethry, is one-third each of Stardrops, distilled malt (white) vinegar and water.

Stardrops is very concentrated, and the water also tones down the vinegar smell. It also makes them go further as well.

The link below may give you some understanding of the difference

Thanks consultant, a very interesting site. So ammonia and bleach aren't chlorine-based, but when combined they create chlorine gas - or worse`:eek: . It's amazing household cleaners can contain such products....I might just use up what cleaners I've got left and then switch entirely to greener cleaners....

Hi everyone
I've bought my very first bottle of Stardrops!
What do people use to make up the diluted solution in?

Also, we had a curry on the weekend and I now have some lovely stains on my tablecloth! I want to try Stardrops on it but don't know what's the best method. If I apply it neat, do I wash the tablecloth straight after? Or do I have to leave the stardrops on for a set amount of time?

Thanks

After trawling my local Morrisons and not finding the magic stardrops, I finallly managed to get to Asda at the weekend, and to my delight found what I was looking for, in the lovely new bigger size! :j

I'd asked about cleaning my ceramic bath, I'm sorry I can't remember which kind poster advised me that it works a treat, but I just wanted to mention that it was the first thing I tried and it was fantastic! I didn't even have to scrub!! :T

It was me :hello: I'm so glad you found it in the end I felt frustrated for you last weekend :T I've got to do my bathroom later when I've been shopping although its so good on our old bath its not much of a chore!

Thanks so much Sunnygirl :beer: , your comments about the bath really pushed me to make the effort to track down stardrops, and I have not regretted it!! :T
