    Thanks Churchmouse for the info.

    Suppose the only way I'm really going to find out is to give it a go.

    Will try it on an older shirt I was going to throw out, to see if it works.

    (Dons on white white lab coat and protective glasses!!!.... :D ).

    Will let you all know the results but give me a few days....

  • I haven't actually used the stardrops in the Vax itself (although I understand others have done this successfully).

    Yes it works a treat. I put the same dosage of stardrops as your meant to use of the vax cleaner into the dispenser then add a splash of fabric conditioner. I swear it works better than the Vax stuff thats super expensive.

    Update:

    Morrisons in Ipswich (sproughton) sells both Stardrops And Starclens.

    Yipee say's Me, having bought 4 of each today:rotfl: :rotfl:
  • Must admit I've read this thread and I'm still confused. Finally found a bottle of stardrops last night so the question is what do I use it neat on and what do I dilute it for? Also what should I be using my microfibre cloth for? Should I use a wet one in the same way as I use a sponge or do I just use it dry :confused:

    Sorry if I sound a bit simple but if you don't ask.... :o

    dilute some stardrops in hot water,put ya microfibre cloth into it,wring out and away ya go :)

    or you could use a damp cloth and a solution of stardrops / water in a spray bottle

    HTH

    oh and i only use stardrops neat on a stain on an item of clothing or a stain on the worktop etc

    also add a squirt to the washing powder drawer in each clothes wash :)

    I just put a squirt into an old spray bottle with about a half-litre of water, spray, wipe with microfibre cloth. and that's it.
  • Can any old stylers tell me if there is a thread which summarises all the different uses for stardrops (as per vinegar) eg washing machine, dishwasher etc as I've got my first bottle and want to make full use of it

    Hi cresbella,

    We have a very long thread about Stardrops so I'll merge your thread with it. The posts are listed in date order so you'll need to read from the beginning to see all the replies.

  • I'm new to all this, but just been seeing lots of references to Stardrops. Now I've finally worked out what it is, can anyone tell me if you can buy Stardrops in the South? Can't say I've ever seen it in my area, but perhaps that's because I've never been looking for it. I'm near Basingstoke in Hampshire

    I saw it in Sainsburys @ Woking this weekend. Take a look in your local Sainsburys.
