They are their disinfectants. Startips is the girly floral pink one, Starpine is the blokey pine green one.

Hi a quick question regarding stardrops. Must agree brilliant stuff. There was another thread regarding uses for stardrops and I do now use it in dishwasher and its much cheaper that way. Can anyone tell me if they have ever used it in the washing machine instead of powder?.

I've used it to handwash, but I think it might be too frothy in the WM?

I use it in the washing machine sometimes. I use 2 tablespoons in a 6kg machine. I add a third when stuff is unusually dirty. The washing comes out very clean and fresh.

Another excellent use is spot cleaning carpets. I make a strong solution in some hot water and sponge it on. It has always removed the dirt perfectly the first time, and it's much cheaper than spray carpet cleaners.

Pink.

There is a thread on uses for stardrops so I've added this one to it to keep all the suggestions on using stardrops together.

Hi. Can you please tell me, how much do you use in your DW? A capful or more? Do you use it instead of or as well as tablets?

Iv'e only ever used Finish howevermany-in-one tablets but if they aren't on offer they can get expensive.

Thanks

Hi I just use a squirt of stardrops in the bottom of dishwasher just before I put it on. I use half a tablet but I think just stardrops would be fine. Everything comes out gleaming.
