    How much were they? Are they on the website as I am due to make an online grocery order and wasn't sure which ones they were?

    Has anyone tried the tesco car microfibre cloths are they much different, they are more money but is it worth getting the car one or just ordinary?
    Thanx

    BTW - anyone used Stardrops to clean the car? I bought two bottles last night and noticed a bird had done it's worst on my car this morning.


    We have used it for ages to wash the car, it works really well at getting all the dead flies n stuff off. I have had some for years and feel silly now that I could have been using it for so many other things.

    Can anyone help on how much to dilute it, if I put a solution into a spray bottle for cleaning the cooker etc
    A penny saved is one you don't have to earn! :wave:

    I don't know, I've just cleaned my kitchen floor and put a quick squirt into a large bowl of water. I don't even use exact measurements when I cook :D

    I think squirt covers a multitude of measurements!! Sometimes depends on how much you have left in the bottle!!!!!!!

    YAY! Can I join the ranks of the Stardrops Appreciation Society.

    I have decided I want to do more walking but DS2 (aged 3) can only walk so far before he wants carrying. He does have a stroller but whenever he's in it, he puts his feet onto the wheels, which acts as a brake and so does not ensue a very relaxing stroll.

    I did have an all-terrain-three-wheeler pushchair but stopped using it and so put it in the garage for storage. Unfortunately it went very mouldy very quickly and I didn't think I would ever get it clean. As it would have been perfect for walking, I've been kicking myself for not looking after it properly. I just assumed it was only fit for the bin and that it wouldn't come clean.

    So reading this thread I armed myself with some stardrops, hot water and a scrubbing brush and have been thrilled and amazed with the results! I haven't even had to use that much elbow grease. I put some diluted stardrops into a spray bottle and it just seemed to dissolve the mould. A quick scrub with the brush and I've got a brand new pram! It is even cleaner than it was before I put it in the garage!

    So I'm looking forward to getting out there with my pram on some nice walks over the summer.

    I have just spot-cleaned the dining room carpet with you-know-what:
    tea stain - gone
    curry stain - gone
    gravy stain - gone
    I am impressed!

    got some of this stuff today to help get sticky pictures and stickers etc off bedroom doors. when buying a friend said she used to use some years ago that had sugar soap in it and this would be ideal to get stickers off doors..

    if this doesnt work what else would help please.
