    Hiya everyone,

    I bought some about 3 weeks ago along with MF cloths the windows came up amazing I used diuted in spray bottle along with wet M/F cloth the a dry to give a quick buff, also used in kitchen/bathrooms etc and yes its brill, also used on laminate flooring again excellent and on tiled kitchen floor was a bit concerned that floor might be slippy/sticky but no just a great sheen.
    Like others I love the fact that the bottles are dissappearing from under the sink
    and I love the fact is basically concentrated soap and not chemicals (Have 3 young uns boy 3,girl 1 and new girl 2 weeks old also contains bitrex so if any of them drank some it apparantly tastes foul).
    I need to convince the Mrs of its effectiveness in :
    1. The sink for washing up
    2. Washing machine
    3. Dish washer

    Can some kind soul please post how to use it with DW and WM

    Cheers
    Pete

    i can only advise on using it in the washing machine :)

    i use a scoop of cheapy washing powder ,scoop of soda crystals then a squirt of stardrops in every wash

    i also use it as a pre treatment,my sons jeans were VERY grass stained and muddy !!! i found them in the wash basket so was all dried in etc grrrrrr

    before putting them in the wash i squirted the stardrops on the stains,rubbed it in a little then in the wash as normal ,using the above 3 products

    i really didnt expect the whole stain to come out as i didnt have time to leave the stardrops on before putting in the machine

    BUT it all completely vanished !!

    its fab :)

    as for the dishwasher look back a few pages someone used it in theirs :)

    cool, is it any good though on its own (Has anyone tried this).
    Ive read this thread front to back and as I recall 2 have tried it 1 was fine apart from tea stains and the other ended up full of bubbles.

    So just seaking some clarification before I damage all our white goods ;o)

    ...the ultimate cleaning product (apart from vinegar)!

    You can use it to wash floors, clothes, surfaces and anything else (perhaps not your toddler)...

    The other advantage is it's very reasonably priced (about 60-70p) and works wonderfully, so nip down to Sainsbury's, get yourself a bottle and see for yourself! Tesco's don't sell it, by the way, boo hiss...
