Have to agree with the Rainfresh one, it is brilliant. The citrus one smells nice too.

Stardrops - Brilliant at cleaning Patio slabs.

Hi can you tell me what quantity you used to clean the patio slabs - thanks.

i do like stardrops, but it definitely dries out my hands a lot. yesterday i used just a little bit neat on a cloth for cleaning some dirty shelves and my hands were itchy and sore after. just need to remember to wear gloves i guess!

Keep some aqueous cream in a soap dispenser and thoroughly wash your hands in that afterwards - it's soap-free and prevents your skin drying out (and after 10 years of suffering from dry hands I can assure you it's a godsend!)

Did you dilute it on the bits that couldnt go in the washing machine or use it neat?

Diluted it - but then neat on tougher bits. Came out very well. Once it had dried i can see some greyish dots - but better than black!

Ok Ive not tried it myself but what I would do is this:
Put the soda chrystals inside the machine and the stardrops in the dispenser drawer. That way, you cantclog up the drawer with chrystals.

Like what i did!!!!! Clogged up my drawer - oops!

Actually this is probably my only complaint about stardrops - that it doesnt come in a child safe lid!

I use it for all floors, over doors and again as back up if I run out of w u liquid, clothes liquid etc...

I vividly remember mistaking an orange coloured detergent for orange squash when I was about six. I learned not to drink out of unlabelled bottles without the lesson killing me. I realise you want to protect kids, but please don't make their environment so safe they never learn anything.

I have posted this once before but it looks to have disappeared so I may be repeating myself! Still getting to know the site.

It seems I may be the only guy who uses Stardrops!!!

I use it for cleaning my Conservatory and patio but I use a thing called a superspray hose end spray which I bought off the net recently, originally to clean my car with.

It looks like a trigger spray spray but connects to a hosepipe. Add some Stardrops to the bottle and thin it down a bit with water, turn on the tap. This sprayer dilutes the detergent as you spray so no buckets. Its easy to spray the roof and sides though I dont recommend scrubbing the roof panels unless your brave. I found that the more I cleaned the roof the cleaner it got just by spraying, leaving a few mins and rinsing off. Stardrops is great for glass and cleaning the plastic frames. use neat to attack shoe marks and bird muck.

I do the same to clean my patio which is quite large, and also hose down my patio furniture with Stardrops. Thats easier using this sprayer too.

The sprayer cost me about a tenner but now I dont need a window cleaner so I get it for free! Last year I paid £22 for 'ready to use' patio cleaner. I now clean it for less than a pound. I remember my dear old mum using stardrops when I was a kid. Surprised so many people find it hard to buy.

I would like to say a HUGE thankyou to everyone - too many to mention - who have posted about STARDROPS.
I bought some and had it in the cupboard unused and unloved and was working up the courage to put it in my upright VAX when the expensive shampoo runs out when my 3 yo found the black CD pen OH had left on the computer desk and whilst I was out of room dealing with his very sick sister managed to write all over the desk and the pale green carpet in our sitting room.:eek: :eek: :eek: . I wasn't hopeful - I mean even industrial solvent doesn't shift this stuff off non-porous surfaces let alone textiles- but thought what the heck I can't make it worse and scrubbed some neat STARDROPS into the marks and then VAXed over the top and all traces have gone:j. Without OS I would never have had the stuff in the house so thanks again to one and all and to those who haven't taken the plunge yet what's stopping you.;)
