  • I have bought some today (75p from Morrisons) they had loads left and some starclean stuff too. I have put a bit on a top and bra that got stained with curry when I was on holiday so if that isn't a test for the stuff, I don't know what is. I shall leave it for a bit and report back on progress.

    I have a 500ml bottle of kitchen spray which is nearly finished. I was thinking of rinsing it out and making up a new solution using Stardrops and water. Will it be effective and how much stardrops should I add?

    yes i do this :) it is effective and much cheaper

    i just put a good glug in a spray bottle and top up with water

    i guess its approx 1 part stardrops to 9 parts water
  • well blimey, that's me impressed. :eek: Stardrops have got the curry stains out! Am actually going to clean the bathroom now (its really old and disgusting - student house horror) so will see what it can do.

    Rushed off to Asda and got some and it's done the cream tiles in the kithchen floor a treat. Am going to try it on the bathroom next.

    You know, its really odd because when I was first looking for Stardrops I couldn't find them anywhere except in Savers, but when I went into Wilko yesterday they had in loads. Do you think that because of the increased sales, they are starting to stock more around the country?

    Kaan-is, I'm pretty sure Starclen is made by the same people except it's a white liquid and it has ammonia in it. It works really really well on cleaning stubborn stains as well. Last week I chucked the oven racks overnight in a binbag with some starclen and they came out really really well considering that Starclen is 1/3 of the price of Ovenpride and I didn't have to use a lot.

    This is what i do as well, but i also put about 10 drops of tea tree oil in it as well, to make it more of an antiseptic cleaner for the kitchen work surfaces :D

    Same technique here aswel... although I use a diluted Zoflora solution for the kitchen worksurfaces and toilet rather than adding tea tree...

    Zoflora is made by the same people as Stardrops but is antiseptic/antibacterial
