Where to buy Household Ammonia.

Options
I have been looking for quite a while around. Has anyone bought any bottle recently? (all the threads related to buying ammonia seem to be yearssss old) I have been to Sainsbury's, Tesco, searched online in B&Q and so many others. I haven't got a clue where I could get it. Does anyone buy it still regularly?

    Probably I will spend in P & P more than what the bottle itself cost. Don't they sell it in any local shop? Has become illegal or something?

    The Range sells it.
  • Have you tried asking at your local pharmacy?

    We are in London area (Lewisham). No The Range shops here (it seems), I heard that they used to sell it in Boots, I have checked in their website, but haven't seen it, I haven't gone to any pharmacy yet, although I might try. I was more trying to check in places where they normally sell cleaning supplies.

    I brought some recently from 'The drug store' which sell all sorts. It was £1.20 for a big bottle if you have a shop near you.

    I love the stuff ;)

    Boots have stopped selling it. I know this as they sold the remaining stock to 99p stores over a year ago. No stock left now.

    I think the product you are describing is a product made by the same company who do Stardrops.

    I have seen it in Bargain Buys, a subsidiary of Poundworld.

    A few years back Iceland used to sell Stardrops and it's other products. Was withdrawn after a year because it was not selling enough.

    Thank you soo much everyone. I found it yesterday by coincidence buying something else. They have it in Lewisham high street in one of these DIY hardware little shops £1.75 for 500ml. the brand is Kleen Off. I willl have a look next time on "the drug store" if we have one local to us.
    By the way I went yesterday to Poundworld (also in Lewisham high street) and I bought one bottle of Stardrops with Ammonia (just before I found the Kleen Off bottle) I don't know for what I will use it exactly, but I heard wonders in this forum about people that swear by it. So I will go through some of the threads and see what is good for. They have LOTS of bottles of Stardrops of every kind, I didn't know there where so many types. As it seems to be something difficult to find, someone might be interested.
    Thanks to all, I am happy with 2 bottles of ammonia for some time now :).
