Stardrops..I have seen the light!

Three_Dancing_Dragons

I'll be straight out to my local semi-chem in the morning (no wilkinsons that I've seen in Edinburgh) and hunt some stardrops down but ... excuse the really stupid question.

Where can I find empty spray bottles to put the diluted stuff in?

i recycled an old multi-purpose squirty spray bottle,

rinsed it out a few times to be sure all the old cleaner was gone

if you would prefer to use a new one then garden centres would sell them (the ones which you would use for a fine mist for fern type plants)

Poundland sometimes have them too

Hm, much better idea. Will do!

ETA: Mine looks like it's made out of some sort of fabric, but v. similar to coffee filter paper, and it's arranged in an accordian style (vertical slats) around a cylander.

Um, would be a bit doubtful about washing it, so - the paper might disintegrate, and even if it didn't, the pleats (I presume that's what you mean?) would be likely to fall out.

With those ones (sounds similar to the one that was on my old vax) I wouldn't even soak it, just literally rinse it like it says to, know someone who soaked one and it fell to bits.

Hi,

I stay in Edinburgh and Stardrops and all related products (Starclen, Starpine etc) can deffo be had in SemiChem. Cheapest place I have seen it so far is the Savers/SemiChem at the top of Dalry Rd. I'm still shopping around though......

No, there is no Wilkos in Scotland......mores the pity (

Asda and Tesco sell Stardrops,although i have not seen Starclens in them.

I am just recovering after a mammoth monthly shop at a different Sainsburys to usual, and I have finally managed to get my hands on this wonder product:j :j Trying it out will have to wait until tomorrow, though.

Hi, bought my first bottle the other week but my mum has nabbed it cause I told her how good it was it was 58p from Asda. Have still got some of my old cleaning products to use up but am now converted.

Im a huge fan of stardrops also and use it all round the house.

For the loo tho, try using a bottle of cheap cola - the sugary kind not diet (you can use the branded stuff but this way is cheaper). Pour it into the bowl, wet all of the inside and leave overnight before flushing.

My daughter is murder for leaving the dregs in the bottle, so I save them up and use them for just that. Worth a try?

Heard this on houses behaving badly I think.. but have also found it on google searching, see http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061230083401AAErosU

Hope this helps!
