Zoflora in the washing machine

10 replies

After reading all the MN threads about zoflora I'm very excited to have finally bought some. I want to put some in with my washing to freshen it up, but how do I go about it? Do I just add it in with my usual washing powder or do I replace the washing powder with it? And in either case how much do I use? Any help massively appreciated Grin

I put it in with the powder, it's a disinfectant so you still need detergent as well. I wouldn't put it in the fabric conditioner drawer or you'll have residue on your clothes. I only use it for smelly sportswear or similar, regular laundry doesn't need to be disinfected.

Oh and a few drops does the job, it's very concentrated.

I use it in the fabric softener bit along with fabric softener. I sometimes put some in with the powder too

I use a whole cap full......in every load. But then, I’m addicted to the stuff!

Thanks all, won't use it in every wash but just have some tops where the pits smell a bit musty Confused so want to freshen them up. I also read about wiping the radiators with it to make the house smell nice Flowers What else can I do with it? Smile

It's good for pongy drains but the fragrances themselves are not very pleasant, I wouldn't use it as air freshener.

I put a capful in a spray bottle top up with water abs use as surface cleaner. Also put some on the Hoover filter. Use neat in the loo when there's a smelly shit in there!

They have a website that gives ideas of what to use it for

I put the washing powder in the drum and half capful of zoflora in the drawer. Different scents to wash clothes from the ones I use to clean surfaces. Linen is the obvious choice but also bluebell and the winter editions are better on clothes.

There are lots of better ways to make your house smell nice. None of the ‘flavours’ truly mask the whiff of disinfectant, so all smell a bit hospital-like.
