  • after reading about stardrops on here.. i didnt buy it straight away.....i used up all the other bottles of so called wonder clears under the kitchen sink...lol...

    but when i did but it...omg:eek: ... i was soooooooooooo impressed.... i even bougt some to take down the pub on a saturday night for my friends ..as they asked me to get them a bottle as i was talking about it the week before..( how sad is that ..out on the beer on a saturday and talking about star drops )

    hubby has a kawasaki vn1500 a big touring type big bike with loads of chrome bits..... but as the bike is outside and ridden in all weathers.. it is looking a bit rusky and naff around the edges.... i told him to give the bike its 'yearly' clean with startdrops.. and what a diff..... he's nicking my stardrops all the time now..... the bike has never been so looked after..lol...

    i still havent used it for washing the dishes yet... as i cant get my head round that... a multi cleaner being used to wash the dishes...... but maybe one day..

    but go for it........ if anyone is lurking and havent used it yet........
    use up all the other cleaning items you got... and then go out and buy stardrops.....

    not only is it fantastic........ its soooooo cheap...... this is one product that the price DOES NOT reflect the quality......

    I was a bit wary of using it for washing up the first time - especially as I'd just taken red wine out of OH's shorts with it, but it seems good enough. Generally I will use a separate washing up liquid but it's good if you run out!

    I tried it on the cherry tomato stain, and it got some of it out but not all. The other mucky marks on my light beige carpet have come out a treat though.

    I've just mixed up a spray bottle of equal quantities of stardrops / water / white vinegar and will be off to spray the kitchen in a mo.

    Thanks for all the ideas.

    I've used it in my VAX carpet cleaner (with a capful of cheap conditioner in the waste tank to kill the suds) and the carpets come up great! (why did I get cream carpets!)
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    Those of you who have used it to clean carpets - how much did you use?

    same mix as I usually use for cleaning about 9-1 I guess - it was my usual spray bottle full ....
