    Going to stock up on these when I'm next in Savers for my house move in September! They sound fab. May even take a bottle to the self-catering cottage next week - especially for the grill pan! :)

    I have never heard of Stardrops! But now.....I feel I must test the mythical properties of said product! If I can locate a bottle of it! Do Tescos stock it? Sorry but I haven't read the entire thread so apologies if someone has already covered this!

    Anyone know where us stardrop virgins can locate a bottle? :beer:

    It looks like a large fairy washing up liquid bottle (the new clear 'shaped' ones not the old style bottle) - but the contents are bright yellow! Our 'Savers' chemists have it on the top shelf for 69p IIRC.

    Thanks all for your help - I got my first bottle of stardrops tonight :j along with a microfibre cloth. When I picked it up off the shelf my DH announced that it was what his Mum used to use lol.

    Will get to work tomorrow.

    Thanks all xxx

  • Apart from the peeps who had bad reactions has anyone gone back to their old cleaning products?

    was feeling lazy and didn't want to scrub the toilet so put a squirt in the cistern and now have a lovely shiny toilet bowl with no effort

  • I still use stardrops all the time. However I got a bottle of cif with bleach reduced to 30p and that stuff is very very good. It got my old t stained sink much cleaner than stardrops did. But stardrops is very good for grease. I have to also admit to going back to brillo pads. There are some bits of the cooker which a scourer and star drops just cant cope with IMO.

    Okay. I read 47 pages of Stardrops devotion and sent DD2 into Morrisons to find a bottle of this amber nectar (couldn't go myself as have decided not to go into supermarkets this month as they are evil - I know, bit of a cheat really but we are talking about Stardrops here :rolleyes: )

    OMG you were all right!!! I've been reading and muttering to myself 'I've heard all this before, people raving about a product and I end up disappointed 'cos it's not that great'. Well it is. DD2 walked through the front door last night to;

    'Have you got my Stardrops?'

    She said 'Yes Mum, a hello would be nice.'

    I cleaned all my kitchen cupboard doors in record time with no elbow grease.

    My tap is shiny.

    The kitchen wall where the cats put their paws on to jump down is clean (without having to resort to more emulsion).

    Got home from work today, told DD2 and her boyfriend that we were having leftovers for dinner and that they'd find them in the fridge. Ran back out to my car and cleaned it inside and out with my wonderful, please don't ever take it away, Stardrops :smileyhea

    Sorry for the long post but it was absolutely necessary.

    Stardrops... :iloveyou:
