    I haven't seen star drops around for a while now, haven't they discontinued it? If not, I would love to get hold of some!
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    Diluted, I think. I'd be wary that using it neat could take the colour out of the carpet, & we know it works diluted..

    I bought it in Wilkinsons today then saw it in Poundland - both for £1 (in Poundland? Who'd have thought it lol!) though if it had been more in Wilkinsons I'd have got it from Poundland too & taken the 2 Wilkinsons bottles back.

    Kitchen & downstairs loo floors nice & clean now! (I did actually use the bottle I'd already had in the cupboard, but I've had the time today to use it... :o )
