    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 :D and to those who haven't taken the plunge yet what's stopping you.;)
    Excellent ... will try it in my VAX ... how much did you put in???? Please tell!!!
    That's Numberwang!

    Just tipped in the remainder of the bottle as was (probably not the best OS way to do it but it was an emergency:o ) filled the water tank up to max and put in a capful of fabric softener to stop the bubbles in the dirty water tank gtting out of control too:cool: When I next have time I'll try and dilute it a bit and see if it copes with my horror children :)

    Help! Does anyone know where I can buy Stardrops in Oxford - I've tried Tesco, Sainsbury's and Wilkos, to no avail.

    Ok, I've not posted in old stylie before but...

    My MSE g/f bought me a bottle of this as a joke really. She said you all go on about it in here. I just used it to clean my bathroom and I've never seen my mirrors gleam so well.

    I'm a convert.

    I have bought this in Tesco, Sains and Asda however I have noticed that they don't always have it in stock.

    When they are out of stock they will often take down the shelf edge label so you may think that they don't stock it at all.

    Perhaps all we MSEers are creating a shortage!!

    Hello saxy1. :) There are plenty of threads devoted to Stardrops, but this is probably the one most suited for a "beginner".
