    I bought some today and a bottle of the power one with amonia, both 89p each in Homebargains.
  • I've seen it in Home Bargains as above & also Poundstretcher/In Store I can't remember how much it was in here though.

    They didn't have the stardrops in my usual store the last time I was there, except 'made up' in a spray, along with a whole range of other stardrops products, window cleaner etc etc.

    http://stardrops.co.uk/

    they seem to have extended the range rather than anything.

    Well, I hope this is wrong. Apart from soap powder, washing up liquid and bleach, this is the only other commercial cleaning product that I buy.
    I remember my mum using it for years (remember it used to come in a lovely fat glass bottle? but they changed it to a naff plastic one a few years back).

    I can't really see why they would discontinue such a popular product though :confused:

    I think it is wrong, when I was in Iceland a couple of weeks ago not only did they have stardrops & starclean they also had about 4 other stardrops cleaners - stardrops bathroom, stardrops window etc. I think if anything the fortunes of this company have been turned around by this website :D

    Same here Essex-girl. I can get it in Iceland. (Got some yesterday) Though its gone up to £1 a bottle and 3 different sorts. However i have never been able to get it in Asda or Tesco.
    Personally i cant see it beeing discontinued. This site has made it more popular than ever.

    Don't forget the ones in iceland is already in a trigger bottle so it is already diluted.

    I buy the neat stuff and make my up my own spray bottle.

    I remember my gran using it to wash up and to wash clothes in the sink with and that was 40 years ago. It's not a new product that has just come onto the market, it has been around donkeys years.

    I saw that from their website.. so why is it so hard to find? I have to say I have never seen it on the shelf of any shop and this includes our Savers, Wilkos, Tescos. Sainsburys. Poundland, Iceland...:confused:

    I saw it in my large Sainsbury's today - still same price of 73p too :D It's found on the very bottom shelf with the other bathroom cleaners etc.

    Maybe you could call or email them and ask if they can list any stockists local to you? :)
