I tried coca-cola (my OH got a litre free with a takeaway, he can't turn down anything free even though we don't drink cola!). It was frankly awful -- made no difference at all, in fact I felt it made the limescale look even worse.

Don't they rec using Sterident denture tablets for cleaning limescale off toilets, I am sure I read that a few years ago.

yes, showing on the shelf as 40p in Asda but scanning through the till at 20p as of today (I just got back from buying some!)

don't think much of stardrops, spent ages trying to source it and was dissapointed. In my opinion it's Hype.

I'm definitely a raver when it comes to Stardrops, but just wanted to add a warning...I dabbed some neat onto some stained pillowcases the other day, threw them in the wash (30 degrees) and they came out still stained but with a bleach mark where the stardrops had been!! Really disappointed as I've never had that problem before, but just wanted to warn others.

I find VIM toilet cleaner great for removing limescale. Don't buy any other type now.
Got mine from Wilkinsons.

Edit : Seems Wilkinsons no longer stocking this(Vim) along with a lot of other cleaning products. They did not have Stardrops (not sure if they used to).

Will have to have a look for some of this.

Used soap liquid before is it similar to that?

Just bought my very first bottle in Tesco today -58p. So far the grimey depth of the oven have been done plus the hob top and they came up great with minimal effort. The rug in the kitchen had a few dirty marks on it - not no more!

Will give it a go doing a wash next!

My oven is supposedly "self-clean"...I wish.... can I use stardrops to clean the walls & floor? If so neat or diluted?

Possibly not. Have a look here, it gives advice about self-cleaning and continuous cleaning ovens.

Also, your instruction manual which came with your oven should tell you what to do.
