    I've just bought a bottle of Stardrops 89p from Savers chemist and spent a couple of hours cleaning to insides and outsides of the kitchen cupboards, mopped the floor, scrubbed all the downstairs carpets and cleaned the bathroom. It's great.

    Made strawberry jam this morning. Got reading the thread of Chivers the cat stuck up a tree, and it boiled over. Then it burnt on all around the gas jet, and was horrible.

    Thought that this would be the job that was too much for Startdrops, but it wasn't. My hob is now gleaming again.

    Thanks MSE.

    Hi All,

    I was just thinking, Whenever I go to a car wash the normally spray the Alloy wheels with some sort of detergent to get tyhe brake dust off, I was wondering, would stardrops be any good for this or is there a chance that it could damge the wheel?

    Any ideas anyone?

    Thanks

    It'll be fine! :D

    There are no particles to scratch them, and it actually lists cars on the back of the bottle amongst its list of uses.

    If you want to be extra cautious, rinse off with clean water once you've suds and scrubbed them.;)

    would imagine it to be fine...........ive worked cleaning cars and the spray that we clean the wheels with was an acid based industrial spray, so if they can take that then im sure good old stardrops will be ok

    I've used stardrops a couple of times on my alloys. It works really well - it seems to shift the dirt even easier than car shampoo.

    Will it take the colour out of a t-shirt that I have a tomato stain on, along with the stain??

    I've never had this but if you're worried try an inconspicuous spot first.

  • I have used stardrops for the alloys when the car wash was out of order. They were fine (and very clean)
