  • This stuff sounds brilliant. I will try and get hold of some . Can anyone tell me if it will get rid of mould and/or blu-tack marks from magnolia-painted walls?

    Or where I could get some in the Cambridge area?

    Thanks!

    Hi Absinthe,

    I buy my Stardrops in Asda or Sainsbury's down here - some of the bigger Tesco sell it too.

    i bought my first bottle last week and have tried it on a few things - floors, bathroom, kitched, washing up, the george, windows . . .everything! I am really impressed and love only needing one bottle of something to clean nearly everything! Going to try it on washing tomorrow - how much should i put in a 5kg load?

    There is a spray bottle version called -

    Stardrops ready to use multi surface cleaner

    I used this on my sitting room wall paper as we
    had lots of marks left over from sticking blue tack
    on the walls to put up birthday/xams cards etc
    Nothing has worked but this did and the muck that
    came off at the same time.My wall paper had been
    up 10+ years.Ended up having to do the whole lot
    because it would have looked terrible if I had just done
    the bits where the blue tack had been.I have used
    it on painted walls and its fine
    :j:j:j
  • Thank you rosekitten and froddington. I will go on a Stardrops hunt and attack my walls! :p

    Ah but the bottle has doubled in size to what it used to be in there. I thought it had gone up quite a bit when I bought some t'other day, then realised it was double the amount. So should last that bit longer :)

    I no longer use soap powder or fabric conditioner
    I use stardrops and soda crystals plus a few drops of lavender oil.
    Easy on the stardrops, just a dessert spoon or so, and a dessert spoon of soda crystals makes for clean, nice smelling, soft clothes.
  • Picked up a large bottle of Stardrops in Asda in Cambridge yesterday! :p

    Can't wait to get started...

  • It didn't work on the blu-tack stains :confused:

    I tried dabbing it on neat and rubbing gently with a microfibre cloth, then mixed some with hot water and tried that. It didn't make any difference though.

    Am I doing something wrong? Should I be using it mixed with vinegar too?

    On a brighter note, there were some damp patches where I had some postcards up, and they have now gone; also, my sink has never looked more shiny!
