    One question though, can I use it on laminate floors? I'm sure I can but what concentration (mop&bucket?)
    I'm keen to know the answer to this too, although I'll be using a vileda mop - not the bucket type, the one that holds the liquid on the handle and where you can take the cloth off and replace/wash it.

    I use stardrops on laundry all the time to remove stains. I have discovered though that it wouldn't get chocolate (or is it tomato sauce Johanne:naughty: ) stains out of clothing after it had been washed in biological powder. Also had problems with suncream discolouration but I tried starclean and it worked as far as I can tell :D

    I have used Stardrops to remove chocolate stains from a sofa cushion, and they came out a treat.

    Cheers, thanks for this. Will try the TT oil myself too, and will look out for Starclen, although it seems a bit harder to get hold of


    I've seen Starclen for sale in Morrisons, but not other supermarkets.

    Aaah, but I've got to try it first :p ...

    ... although looking at this thread, it looks as though I won't be disappointed! :D

    I'm going to be buying a new vax wet cleaner (upright), although I don't think I'll be using stardrops in it, just in case it causes a problem.

    I haven't actually used the stardrops in the Vax itself (although I understand others have done this successfully).
    I used mine to spot clean areas of carpet ( I find children really useful for this job:p ) and the vax then sort of spread it around the carpet, if you see what I mean. I found the carpet came up really clean.

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Get this - yesterday I was wlaking through Sheffield and pounched on by one of those ladies that comes at you with a clipboard as king if I could help them with some market research. I said yes as I had a bit of time on my hands, and she took me into a hotel room with all these other 'volunteers'. To cut a long story short they were asking for opinion on something called Cillit Bang Grease and Floor Cleaner - and she was asking me all these questions about all the other products that are on the market. Her face was a picture when I played my trump card by saying the only thing that we use in our house is Stardrops - period. :rotfl:

    And I got a free boots voucher to boot:j

    Thanks for that - Morrisons is where I do my main shop, so I'll have a good look there next time.

    Looks like Stardrops is a miracle cleaner.

    So, can anybody tell me this. :think:

    Will it remove underarm spray white residue without affecting the clothes/ colour?

    Have tryed washing these shirts in Daz twice, still no joy.

    Have used stardrops on many stains, and it's never affected the colour of anything. Don't know if it will work on white underarm stains, but it's worth a try.
    You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
