White Vinegar and Stardrops!

Chipps

I can buy stardrops in Morrisons, but Tesco & Wilkinsons don't sell it.
White vinegar is just as smelly as malt vinegar.
On the other hand, malt vinegar does the same jobs as white vinegar. It doesn't stain your clothes if you use it in the washing machine. I also use it to descale the kettle & to remove limescale from sinks etc. So you can use either brown or white vinegar. White looks prettier, brown is cheaper. Take your pick!!!!

I've always been a careful shopper and have read, in this forum and on the Internet, about the virtues of white vinegar and (here) Stardrops!

Does anyone know where I can buy larger quantities of white distilled vinegar, other than the 500ml bottles from Sainsburys?

Also, apparently Sainsburys sells Stardrops - never heard of it, but willing to give it a go! Which aisle am I likely to find this and is it available nationwide?

Thanks.

stardrops is in the same aisle as the washing up liquid, top shelf, though I believe it is cheaper in Wilkos

Morning - probably repeating everyone's advice but you can get it in Asda, Wilkos, cheap shops. I think it's generally around the floor cleaning/ stain removing/furniture polish section that you will find the Shrine of Stardrops! You do have to hunt for it on the shelves so go slow. As you will know, it does everything from laundry, washing up, cleaning sinks/cookers and a veritable feast of other household stains - happy hunting.

I found stardrops in Savers (right next to the microfibre cloths) and Starclene in Morrisons. Morrisons had stardrops as well but Savers was cheaper!

Hi

the link below does white vinegar for £3.75 for 5 l I think, might be worth a look?

Usually you'll find 5L bottles of vinegar on the bottom shelves of most supermarkets.

Most of the big supermarkets stock Stardrops. It's 58p in Wilkinson's too.

And don't forget your microfibre cloths! 4 for £1 in Poundland.

Stardrops for 75p

Starclen for 72p

Zoflora for 99p

I remember reading somewhere that these were the only 2 cleaning products someone used. Including for their washing and descaling their kettle. Could someone give me a list of what I can use them for and where I would be better using a shop bought cleaning product please?

I am trying to cut back as much as possible in the run up to Christmas in order to put some money aside for present buying etc & seem to go through cleaning stuff like there's no tomorrow so any other tips or ideas would be great too.

Thanks

Pink.

Hi lucysmam,

You should find more information about both vinegar and stardrops on these threads:

White Vinegar Uses

Stardrops: A Users Guide

Also if you have a look at The Cleaning Recipe index you should see what kinds of things other Old Stylers use for cleaning.
