    Thanks squeaky, i am about half way through!!

    Cant wait to try it now!!
  • I've found that if you fill a pan thats got dried on food in it, with hot water and a tiny amount of stardrops and a tiny amount of washing up liquid it makes the whole cleaning process a cinch! It only takes a couple of minutes to work wonders too.

  • Short of sanding and resealing...
    If you think reality makes sense, you're just not paying attention!

    best to use very fine grade sandpaper to remove the stain, then reseal with oil.

    Blimey but google are getting quick these days!

    I decided to google for Ribena stains and guess who's post is already listed?

    :)

    Anyway, there were loads of results, but perhaps you'd like to refine this search...

    google Ribena stains

    I forgot to say that oxyclean might be your best bet. In warm water.

    Is Stardrops safe to use around birds?

    I have to be careful using chemicals in my flat as I have two cockatiels. A lot of products give off fumes that can be fatal to birds (Febreeze, for example). Is Stardrops safe to use? Does it say anything on the back about how it affects pets?? :confused:

    Please can someone advise me?

    Thanks for asking that question, I was just about to do the same.

    Does anyone know? :confused:

  • I'm having trouble with the miracle that is STARDROPS lol.
    I bought a bottle a few months ago and got my cleaning head on all ready to see the wonder of stardrops but nothing:confused: so ended up using it for washing up as my regular liquid had run out, it cleaned the dishes as my normal fairy did :confused:

    I've now bought another bottle and have diluted in spray bottle, About 2 tablespoons of stardropps inthe spray bottle of warm water, i've used it for hob, cupboard doors, worktops so far and because i want it to work so much i am finding myself scrubbing harder, so yes my kitchen is cleaner bt it's certainly not the miracle cure to all my cleaning woes i was hoping for.

    Can anyone help, where am i going wrong?

    Also when cleaning windows with it i find it smears
