Does anyone put zoflora in floor steam cleaner?

[IHaveAPen]

I felt the water smelt stale even when cleaned out and put in fresh.

So I put some zoflora in. I don't feel like I've been poisoned. It just smells lovely.

Have I inflicted chemical warfare on myself?

Placemarking. The instructions on mine say don't put anything other than water into it, as it can damage the mechanism, so I have never tried. I'd be interested to know whether you can safely add Zoflora.

Yes 🙈 it smelt good it was only half a capful

I've put a wee drop (or rather diluted with the water) and it does smell great, but I think it's actually supposed to be bad for the pipes - and whatnot - in the steam cleaner, it could possibly degrade the innards, but don't quote me on that one!

Good idea, I can’t see it doing any harm, I normally spray the floor with flash Spray or something then use the steam cleaner as a way of not putting anything in it but still getting the cleaning product smell!

I use it in my hard floor cleaner, makes it smell lovely.

I also put a drop down the plug hole when cleaning the kitchen sink, makes the kitchen smell like I have deep cleaned it

Well my previous one, vax, said you could use smelly stuff but ONLY their brand of expensive shite made for that model

TBH I only paid about £15 for the steamer so if it slowly breaks I'm not too fussed.

I guess I was more worried about chemicals?

I also spray the floor too.

Am a zoflora addict

I read you shouldn't add to the water so I added a few drops to the microfibre pad.

I put essential oils on pad.

Some steam mops explode if filled with certain cleaning products. More steam than it can handle gets built up then bang. It happened to one of my mine after I put in Dettol floor cleaner with the water.

A tiny amount is very unlikely to result in that, but still, wouldn’t recommend it. Just put it on the pad or directly on the floor.

Does it have a replaceable water filter? If the water seems stale that might need changing.

I did once, but was told by a friend that it broke hers. The stain in the water compartment is still there, so I've stopped doing it. Spraying the floor with it, in a separate bottle, before steaming cleaning, is a genius idea though. I shall be stealing that idea, forthwith 😊

Haven't been able to get my mitts on the cinnamony flavour one yet.

I used to but it broke my steam mop.

I spray it on the floor or microfibre cloth instead.

Wooops!! Note to self spray the floor instead 🤣

In theory Zoflora will perish the rubber seals.

I've never had a cleaner long enough to perish before it konks out.

Wipe it neat on to the back of radiators.
Smells like you did the whole house.

I used to have a steam mop but it ruined the floors, Zoflora or no Zoflora, so I changed to a spray mop.
I use Zoflora in that. It originally came with a bottle of cleaner, but when it ran out, I used one cap of Zoflora and then filled the rest of the bottle with water. It makes the kitchen smells gorgeous.
I have just bought the lemon zest Zoflora instead of my usual linen one for a change.

i put a small capful of zoflora in my electric carpet cleaner (vax) and my carpets smell fab when ive finished

I wouldn't - it perished the rubber seals on mine!

I did and I wouldn’t steam. It was a week old and it stopped working so cleaned it out well and took it back to Tesco to get a replacement.

I did and it discoloured the plastic I now put the nice smelling water you buy to put inside irons

I always put a bit in, and it's been fine. I'm not too bothered if it slowly knackers it though. I also put it in the iron (not neat!).

It'll break your steam mop!

Spray some onto the pad on the bottom of you need to.

Essential oils on the pad...

I've used a small amount of zoflora, about a capful, diluted in the water chamber of my my shark steam mop for about the last 4 years (all hard floors steam cleaned at least 2 x weekly). No problems so far and it makes my house smell lovely and clean.

I’ve dropped 3-4 drops of essential oils in mine many times...it’s still going...
