    I used stardrops to wash my hair this morning...Fantastic results ten minutes later. No hair left.
    No hair = no more money on hair cuts, shampoo etc..Hair today, gone tomorrow.

    Im thinking of trying it on the kids tomorrow.
    No skin = no more water bills for baths etc...

    Now this is money saving
    Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean Easyjet aren't out to get me

    I have to say that I have just recently started using Stephen's version of stardrops and vinegar/water and all I can is WOW!! I had previously been using stardrops and water and thought that was pretty good, but this version - ooh!!

    I have to say that the original idea belongs to a fellow member, Kethry. I just seem to have become the current custodian of the knowledge.

    I use this mix on laundry stains too, and that is impressive too.

    Please don't think that I am boasting, but neat Stardrops before washing even gets lipstick off of a white shirt.

    Can I just ask - is this as WELL as your normal powder or instead of?

    For the first time both of my children will be wearing proper school blouses and shirts in September (instead of polo-shirts) and I'm paranoid already about keeping them clean :rolleyes:

    My asda shop is coming in the morning and what am I most excited about? Yes, the 2 bottles of stardrops and 1 bag of soda crystals :rotfl:

    I added a squirt of stardrops to my dishwasher yesterday - seems to have worked well although there were a few soap suds at the bottom after it had finished.....! Perhaps a bit too much?!? Ha, ha!!

    I was looking for the white distilled vinegar at Mr T's yesterday and couldn't find it in the cleaning section. Should I have looked in the vinegar section?!? I know this sounds silly but I thought white vinegar couldn't be used in cooking.....!

    Yes it will be with the ordinary vinegar - well it is in A's and S'burys. It might be their own brand or Sarsons distilled vinegar. Don't get pickling vinegar :(
