    Ok,
    I have finally got some Stardrops (they don't sell it here so got some on a trip south). What is it good for ?
    Thanks,

    I use it for general cleaning - the kitchen, cooker, tiles, woodwork, floors, windows, bathroom -everything really. I use it diluted for most things but it's great neat on really stubborn stains in the oven. If its used neat it does take some rinsing though :D HTH
  • What do you use the Stardrops with ammonia for? Have normal stardrops, and can understand the one with disinfectant in but what sort of things is ammonia better for?
    Thanks
    Getting there...slowly! :D

    GC : must do better
    NSD: very rare

    No matter how slow I go I am lapping everyone on the couch.

    I use it for my floors and tiles as its less foamy and it shines well- plus I like the fresh smell.

    As for the ammonia this is from Wiki-

    "Household ammonia is a general purpose cleaner that can be used on many surfaces. Because ammonia results in a relatively streak-free shine, one of its most common uses is to clean glass, porcelain and stainless steel. It is also frequently used for cleaning ovens and soaking items to loosen baked-on or caked-on grime"


    Hope to help
    Right now I'm having amnesia and deja- vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before
  • Thanks Winky, just got to find some now!

    I bought my first bottle of Stardrops yesterday after reading (most) of this thread. It's just removed some stubborn carpet stains that Vanish didn't even touch! You can count me in as another convert to Stardrops.
    It's up to me now and nobody else.

    I've even got my son raving about it now\o/. Gave him a bottle of stardrops to take home with him and he said it got the bathroom lovely and clean - he used it diluted but I use it neat on my shower screen (only have to do this fortnightly now). love it

    Sorry if this has been said, I have tried to run a search and didn't find anything. Poundworld has Stardrops antibacterial spray, glass cleaner spray and bathroom spray in at present, as well as the standard diluted yellow liquid spray. Might not be the cheapest price around but the only place I have seen these variants! All 750ml.

    I have just knocked a full glass of coke on my carpet (again, I did the same 2-3 weeks ago =/) I soaked up as much as I could with kitchen roll and have just scrubbed it with diluted stardrops (last time I just used water to scrub as it wasn't as much). I hope it comes out, if not a call/confession to my landlord will be in order, i'll have to wait for it to dry and check the damage.
    I dropped the glass as I was putting on the side table so it dropped quite far :(

    I think I might invest in a beaker :P
