Stardrops: A Users Guide

Has anyone tried using stardrops to remove ink stains from clothing?

I tried milk on it but it just made the stain run! I think it was gel pen ink, it was black but since it has run it has gone a very dark bluey colour.

Not sure if it's already been mentioned before but instead of buying sugar soap to wash down the freshly stripped walls in our living room, I talked DH into trying this vinegar/stardrops/water mix. He was sceptical at first but when it did a fantastic job he was a convert..lol

So I would definately recommend it to wash down your walls with after stripping paper.

yes i put neat stardrops on the stain then wash it and it comes out fine but i do find if the stain has been washed before it is still visible although fades a bit

Someone asked earlier but I didn't see an answer? We had the cast iron bath re-enamelled a couple of years ago and they were very particular about what you could use to clean it in future. I've therefore not tried the Stardrops on it, or the tiles/grout above just in case (grout has gone orange and looking for something to clean it - hence the question). Anyone had any experience of trying this?

Hi BMF - welcome to the Stardrops addicts thread

Natty - I used it diluted to wash down some washable wallpaper - absolutely brilliant result :j

Yes, it does clean grouting, just been to double check as ours has started to go orange.



I just put a squirt in some warm water and used the green scourer side of a sponge to bring it back to white again.

I am sure I saw somewhere that someone uses a couple of teaspoons of this in their washing machine, does anyone else use it in their washer?

I would imagine you would def have to put some conditioner in too as the smell may be ok for cleaning the kitchen/bathroom but I don't think I would want my clothes smelling of it.

I'm a recent Stardrops convert, and I have to say that after a wash with a weak solution of it, the stone dragon that sits on my patio has never looked so good.

Glad that you posted this as you have jut reminded me, has anyone used this to clean their garden flags?
