Advantages: Cheap, very effective

Disadvantages: can leave floors slippy

Stardrops is amazing. It was suggested to me by my mum, she came across it because she had to find ways to make cut backs and started to research cheaper cleaning methods. Before stardrops I would personally spend a small fortune every month on cleaning products, from kitchen sprays to carpet cleaners, polish, bathroom mousse, shower spray, toilet cleaner, bleach, disinfectant, floor cleaner, window cleaner, you name it I bought it and I thought every one of those items were essential for keeping my home clean until I came across stardrops.

I bought my first bottle in Asda for a tiny 70p but even though my mum was raving about it, I have to admit I was a little sceptical at first. A small amount diluted goes a long way, it cleans the bathroom to a brilliant sparkle, and it cuts through grease on my cooker and splash back with no problem at all. I have a bottle diluted that I used for wiping down the work surfaces, and also cleaning my windows, in the bathroom. A little bit used neat down the toilet brings it up brilliant (although I must admit afterwards I always put down a little bleach, I guess old habits die hard). A little bit sprayed on the shower screen and then wiped over also works really well.

The only problem I've found with this cleaner is that it can be a bit too soapy to use on the floor, I have tried it a few times using a smaller amount of stardrops each time but the floor seems to dry a bit slippy.

When I first bought the bottle home my boyfriend had a wave of nostalgia, apparently his Nan used to use it when he was little and it came in glass bottles. It comes in a plastic bottle these days with a flip pour lid so you have quite a lot of control when pouring. Apparently it's still the same colour as it was all those years ago, a deep yellow colour. The liquid itself is quite thin but you really only need a small amount for it to be effective. I dilute 1 part stardrops to 50 parts water.

Startdrops has cut the amount of money I spend on cleaning products by more than half, all I Buy now is stardrops, bleach and disinfectant (for the floors) and that's it. Amazing!

Summary: There isn't anything it doesn't clean!
