    .....SORE HANDS AFTER USING STARDROPS....

    This was my first day with Stardrops. Must admit, did use it a lot today and now my hands are burning, fiery red and dry! It says on the bottle that it is kind to hands. I don't have sensitive skin, never have any problems with other products.

    Has anyone else had this?

    Hardly surprising - has anyone actually read the ingredients list of this stuff? :eek:
    Not on my shopping list, I'm trying to reduce the number of chemicals used on me and in my environment

    It's official - I love Stardrops!

    As i'm having such a stimulating Saturday evening in on my own (no money = no going out to play :( ) I thought i'd have a go at the kitchen surfaces with this stuff - I am well chuffed with the results! At first I just thought 'normal kitchen cleaner - big deal', but once i'd rinsed everything down and allowed it all to dry, everything just gleams! I've got an electric ceramic hob, and when I moved in here a few weeks ago I noticed quite a few burnt on bits on the plates and around the edges. Not any more!!

    The kitchen floor is definitely not as clean as it could be, so i'm going to tackle that tomorrow - I can't wait to see the results!

    I just love this all this old-style stuff - half of what i've read on here just never occured to me before! Vinegar, soda crystals, bicarbonate of soda, stardrops - all brilliant, and SOOO cheap too. I have been converted :D

    My Stardrops came today together with my microcloth. I'm going to have a go tomorrow.

    Yay

    I just went to my Tesco Extra - no stardrops that I could see. Also looked at the online Tesco shop, and they don't have them either :confused:

    No. I'll have to try Sainsbury's or Waitrose next time I am around those areas

    At the risk of repeating myself, I have used 30 mls Stardrops and 2 ounces of Soda Crystals in my Whites wash at 40deg and they came up lovely and bright! (and I am very fussy about my whites!!)


    Do you think this would get rid of the stains in my karate uniform? I think its only dust and a bit of mud that I'm picking up when I get thrown on the floor ect, but its proving very difficult to get out. I've been washing it on its own at 90 degrees with Sainsburys cheapo biological powder but it still leaves stains which are quite visable. If so how do you use this 30mls and soda crystal mix? Does it go in the tray or the machine?
