Stardrops and Kitchen Cupboards

Hi, got really enthused about OS stuff reading on this board, so (like many before me) i've bought my Stardrops.

I've got a question about how to use it. I'd like to use it on the front of my kitchen cupboards. Do I dilute it,and if so, how much? And do I need to rinse it off?

Same question for laminate floors. What's the dilution rate, and do I need to rinse?

Thanks in advance

    Hi Dannahaz...

    It should tell you on the back however, failing that, I shall post the very technical recipe for you which many an OSer has shared...

    Find an empty spray bottle and add a slosh of stardrops and fill with water

    Remember to rinse well... when I first used it, I got a lovely residue on top of the freezer.

    Or occasionally, a splash, a squidge, a squirt, or indeed a smidgin:D (funny how they're all s-words, isn't it?).

    Perfect freyasmum. If I remember rightly that was the sort of instructions I gave out about using it too :D

    Yep, again, all very technical words! And, of course, you can use it neat - I wrote in the big stardrops thread that I had used it neat for my shower doors and they came up a treat!

    Yeah, moggins, I think it's a pretty widey used, and mightily varied, 'recipe' - and very good it is, too!

    I oftern recommend a squirt as well.

    I did use it neat though on my cupboard doors as there were finger marks on them you could see at certain angles. Worked as well, as you might have guessed.
