buy one first use it up and then

use.

I noticed the various different spray versions of Stardrops in a pound shop the other day (no HomeBargains around here). I didn't buy any because like Lilacpixie I'm still using up loads of stuff.

Obviously they all cost a pound but the bottle of 'original' seemed like best value as it was bigger and not paying for spray bottle. What I wanted to know is does anyone know if there's something special about the sprays that is better than original? I read the ingredients list but didn't help.

I started using stardrops last week and am a total convert! I have diluted it and put it into a spray container and it cleans everything brilliantly.

hi

If I dilute my stardrops as said above do I need to make up a new solution every time I clean or will it keep in the bottle without going funny for a while?
How often do you change the solution?

thanks,

Hi

I have bought some stardrops and would like to use it in place of the spray cleaners I use in my kitchen and bathroom. If I dilute my stardrops with water and put in a spray bottle, do I need to make up a new solution every time I clean or will it keep in the bottle without going funny for a while?
How often do you change the solution?

Hi,

I don't change the solution i just make more when it runs out, which is every couple of weeks or so and it's fine.

imho

Afternoon all :wave:

I've just finished up with a 750ml spray bottle of Ecover and I want to re-use the bottle with the Stardrops (concentrated) that I recently picked up at the pound shop. I'm sure I've read that others do this, but I have a few questions:

• Is it ok to use Stardrops in this way (as an all purpose cleaner in a spray bottle with water)?
• Should I use boiled/filtered water, or will it make no difference?
• How much should I use for the spray bottle? I'd thought 1-2 tbsps, but don't want to end up with millions of bubbles!

Hints appreciated!

We use about 5%/10% and fill up with tap water.

When my old stardrops bottle only had literally a teaspoon or two on the bottom, I filled it up with warm water and shook it hard.

Now I have a diluted bottle of stardrops, and a new bottle for emergencies. :eek:

Oh, I thought the pound shop were extracting the urine when selling Stardrops for £1. I think I last got mine for 80p in Boyes.
