    hi all

    Could you tell me how u all wash windows with stardrops , Do u use it neat then buff or with hot water then buff with a dry micro cloth also what about mirrors ?
    thankyou

    I've never used stardrops for cleaning windows because I'm still using up the loads of chemicals I bought pre-OS :o but I would wash with a stardrops solution, rinse with clear water and buff up with crumpled newspaper ;)

    I'm sure more responses will be along soon

    Hi

    Im a new stardrops convert, I havent yet used it on windows but it works really well on my bathroom mirror. Ive made up a spray with water and just spray and wipe with a dry cloth. There's a great thread on stardrops but not sure how to direct you to it.

    i have mine diluted 1/3 with white vinegar and water and just spray on and wipe off, maybe buff with crunched up newspaper afterwards.

    works a treat on mirrors too

    I ran across this thread yesterday and when I was out shopping kept a lookout--and found them! Stardrops were 65p and starclen 62p at Home Bargains in Gateshead. I used them on the dishes and cleaned the kitchen window. Nice and clean but it's hard to say if that is just because I am really lazy about the windows or not!

    I know that some people have been having a lot of difficulties finding stardrops in their local shops so I did a search for it online, and other than some expensice ebay shop, I also found it here:

    http://www.healthinajiffy.co.uk/advanced_search_result.html?page=44&alpha_filter_id=83&sort=20a&keyword=star&search_in_description=1

    Its just a little bit down the page, hope this helps some one :)
    p.s I'm not sure if it has come up right, so if it hasn't and anyone wants to know, just pm me :)

    Just to help further, I've just weighed a full bottle of Stardrops and it weighed 656g. That puts the postage at £3, maybe £3.50 with the packaging.

    Right I am now officially the proud owner of my first bottle of Stardrops..!:j

    Now I've read that many threads shouting the virtues of this demon cleaner that I'm struggling to remember all that it can be used for :confused: !

    Could I call on all you O/S's to list what you use it for as I believe I won't be the only one to benefit from such a useful list.. I intend to then refer to it before replacing all my other cleaning fluids - I won't have anything under the sink then LOL!!
    Life....mmmm....still trying to figure that one out but what I do know is if I had all the answers it'd be a hell of a lot easier!!!!!!:p

    Hi!

    I use Stardrops for everything. I dilute it in a spray bottle and use as a general cleaner, dilute it for the floors, clean the bath, sink & loo with it neat. It cleans tiles, the floor, cooker, worktops, table, cupboards, woodwork - anything wipeable really. I also mix it with a bit of bleach for the kitchen but I'm sure you shouldn't do that LOL!

    Happy cleaning.

    It can be used to spot clean carpets, as a presoak for washing or add a tiny amount to the powder drawer (not too much a squirt will do) Brilliant for cleaning mirrors and windows, bath, kitchen worktops and doors, Tiles come up streak free and gleaming. I wouldn't be without it!
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
