Got some stardrops today as I have to clean the house before we move out at the end of May including surfaces, kitchen floor and a carpet. Will the carpet clean up nicely with stardrops?

I bought bottle of Stardrops in Sainsburys yesterday for 73p, so Mr T is double the price or is it a different thing altogether?

I've been using stardrops for a month or so now and i'm impressed, it is a great product.

However i did make up the spray bottle recipe with vinegar and it stinks. I don't have any essential oils or anything to put in it so the smell of vinegar seems to linger. It doesn't even smell just of vinegar, it smells like stale vinegar (probably - i don't know what stale vinegar would smelll like)

Saw a couple of bottles of Stardrops I haven't seen before the other day in Savers. A green 'pine' one (ex Starpine?) and a 'creamy-looking' one (Starclen - the ammonia one I assume). I love the smell of pine so got that one. I'll get the ammonia one next time.

Stardrops is a sod on my hands, but I still love it. I hate wearing gloves to clean, so I guess it's my fault my hands get so dry with it. A few applications of shea/cream/etc. sort it out though . I've got the vinegar/water/stardrops solution too, in an old Fairy power spray bottle, and it's great. I add a few drops of lemon essential oil to mine to 'tame' the vinegar smell. I put the lemon in my vinegar/water spray too for the same reason. The vinegar smell doesn't tend to linger too long anyway, and it's good at taking other smells away with it (e.g. baby wee :rolleyes:).

I usually get my Stardrops in Asda: in the middle of the cleaning products aisle, right down on the bottom shelf: pretty easy to miss.

The spray bottle is slightly diff, tesco had the 1 litre bottles of the normal stuff for £1 I think, works out cheaper than washing up liquid! They didn't used to sell it, but ours now has a great big display of it, all flashed NEW! :rolleyes:

I've been using stardrops for years, mainly because it's the one thing my Nan always used But I always used it neat thanks to this thread I use it in a spray bottle now and a botle lasts for ages. I bought a HUGE bottle in Asda last month for 50p. I had to buy it even though I had 2 bottles under the sink

hannoja It doesn't do my hands any good either, my b/f thinks I've got dermatitis (sp?) and the powdery stuff on the insides of rubber gloves seems to make it worse

Big up to stardrops, it's clean anything and everything :T

I use stardrops to clean the carpet, walls, paintwork, mirrors and it all works very well. I dilute the stardrops in a bowl of hot water and use a scrubbing brush on the carpet. Try not to get it too wet though.
