    My local Quality Save have Stardrops with 33% extra free at the moment. This is the 'original' though. Not sure if any of the other varieties have the extra, as I never buy any of those.

    My hubby and a mechanic friend were fixing the car the other day and there were oily, black fingerprints and mess everywhere.
    Hubby used my stardrops diluted spray and a cloth and he was amazed how well it cleaned around the car engine. The cloth went in the washing machine after, and you wouldn't have known it had ever been near an engine, and my DH just washed his hands with a bit of neat stardrops, and they were spotless.
    He was soooo impressed.

    I have been frustrated by trying to clean my kitchen floor and have tried every cleaner known to man, then I saw this thread, bought some stardrops and by gum it looks much better.

    It isn't a disinfectant, it's a foaming cleaning liquid. The cheapest place I've found is my local Pound Shop but the supermarkets or a decent hardware shop should stock it. "Stardrops" is the brand-name and there are various other formulations like a solution for glass and windows etcetera but I quite like the one with ammonia

    My local Iceland does the full range of stardrops products, all for £1 each.

    You can sometimes buy "ordinary" stardrops for less than £1 in smaller shops, but it is hard to find in some areas.

    See here for details of the stardrops range.

    Wilkinson - I bought mine there must be about a year ago for about 58p, was after something to clean a cooker with, thought I'd give it a go, glad I did too. Fantastic stuff, would also recommend antibacterial wipes (I've used both Poundland's gumption and flash - on sale of course) for cleaning, gets paint off carpets (you know the spatter you get when painting! Not sure how it would work on big bits) small stains off sofas al sorts and its never affected the fabrics, not even dark ones.
    Both essentials in my cleaning cupboard!

    If you want to use it as a versatile cleaner, the original CONCENTRATE is the one you want.

    IMO, this one and the one with ammonia are the only ones worth bothering with. The rest (i.e. wipes and sprays) are all a gimmick to make more money out of the brand!
