Wheres Stardrops Gone?

Hi Folks.

Have finally run out of a bulk batch of Stardrops original and green version that I bought years and years ago on the advice of this forum.  It really has been great, effective on nearly everything I have tried it on and a real money saver!

Before Christmas I started looking about to "restock" but can not seem to find it anywhere.  Most shops that I would have gone to in the past only seem to stock the dilutted stuff, not the original concentrate.

Online seems to be very expensive, as much as £12 per bottle in some places.  I have heard about Home Bargains but made a trip out to my closest one, which is a good 30 minutes away but didn't spot any.  Their website doesn't have any on there either.

Has it been discontinued.  Could that be the reason for the price gouging?

The concentrated one doesn't seem to be on the list of products.

If you're after the pine scented one, this lists it inexpensively - but this isn't a site I've used or heard of.

Otherwise the concentrated stuff seems to be known as 'Powerdrops" and comes in floral fragrances. The Range has it to order online, for £1.19 a bottle but you receive one of four fragrances with no option to choose.

Warrior are a small but long-established hardware store group based in Cornwall. I've been shopping with them for 40+ years.

I think I've got one of their cast iron frying pans here in my kitchen!

Great.  Thanks for the link.
I have spotted the warrior trading site but wasn't too sure of it.
Do you think that power drops is the same stuff then just kind of rebranded?

Unfortunately I think there's only one way to find out...

If you have a bottle of the old stuff, you could compare ingredients, to see how similar they are.
