    Stretcher!!!!!!!

    I've just cleaned all of my groundfloor windows, 3 floors, ALL the surfaces in 5 rooms (so far),a bathroom, a microwave and spot cleaned 2 carpets.

    All with a few squirts of stardrops- it is very good stuff. I'm waiting for the red bull version so I can finish my house :o
    de do-do-do, de dar-dar-dar ;)

    For those who can't find Stardrops in their local Wilkinsons:

    If you search back through this thread, somebody posted the product code that they use and they will be able to order it for you :)

    Yep it is really good stuff, and I find it's not so harsh on my poor hands as loads of other cleaning stuff. Even got Mr AM converted - mind you he went a bit OTT when doing the dishes, even though he was warned you just need a few drops - bubbles galore, foam galore, could have cleaned the whole kitchen with the amount he put in to the basin (but I did resist the temptation!);)
    Have got the Starclens now too, haven't used it personally, but OH did a fine job on the rone pipes which were pretty manky.
    Am sure I mentioned earlier in this thread, that I got mine's in Semi-Chem, just to save anyone reading the whole thread if you have one near you.

    I bought some Stardrops the other day as recommended by many on this site and so far have been pleased. I was wondering if anyone has used them on a leather settee?
    I would be MUCH cheaper than a leather cleaner...
    Thanks!

    Funny you should ask that, I cleaned my leather suite on Sunday. I used commercial cleaner until I ran out, then would have preferred good old saddle soap, but having none tried soapdrops and it worked really well!! Used just a few drops in warm water, and tried it on a back first to check it didn't lift the colour ( mine is quite a few years old now!!) Try it yourself in an inconspicuous place first.

    Right!
    I'll do a spot check first but then...OFF I GO!
    Thanks all.
