Flash French Soap

I've seen this recommended a few times and just wondered what does it actually smell of. Is it worth getting? I've seen it on Amazon for about £5 but a search sees I could get it for a lot less. Sadly these shops aren't in my area or too far from me.

Smells like lavender soap: I bought some from B&M for around 99p

I wouldn’t go out of my way for it though: any of the flash undiluted liquids would be v effective at cleaning (lemon or the blue one which is cotton fresh which I prefer). Tesco also have their own brand of it (& expect other supermarkets do too)

Home Bargains sell it.I love the smell.

This is the product I had in mind, 85p from Aldi (i thought it was branded)

If it’s the lavender scent you want, Lidl do one

ALDI do an amazing concentrated cleaner which you dilute and use as a cleaning spray - 1 bottle fills several spray bottles (it’s a mint green, comes in a bottle that looks like fairy liquid and smells great - power force lime & mint concentrated cleaner. It’s around £1 )

Oh, it's just lavender scented! I'll just get some more Astonish Lavender floor cleaner in that case. I thought it was going to be a gorgeous almond or something scented, something different to what you can normally buy. I'll save my £5, thank you all Grin

I wouldn't describe it as lavender, i don't think. I do really like it. Usually get it in B&M i think.

Stealmyheart · 13/03/2022 20:39

I love it. Smells really soapy like dove soap.

sluj · 13/03/2022 20:42

I don't think it's like lavender, it reminds me of old fashioned soap. I do buy it just for the smell

PruGnu · 13/03/2022 20:44

It smells like old fashioned bar soap and somehow 'clean', nothing like lavender imo. I do love it and buy a couple if I see it, not seen it around as much these days. The bicarb Flash smells good too but not as good as French Soap. I don't like floral or fruity scents so these are perfect.

It smells like old fashioned soap with lavender: I really DONT like the smell.

The cotton fresh version smells much better to me

MrsGHarrison87 · 13/03/2022 20:52

It's not lavender scented, it's like old fashioned soap. I don't like it, it doesn't smell as clean to me as the other ones. The only place I've seen it is Home Bargains.

When it first came out I loved the soapy smell so bought a few of each of the floor cleaner and antibac sprays as I thought they might stop selling it. I then got pregnant and 2 years later the smell still makes me heave, it's taken me bloody ages to use it up EnvyGrin!

DobbyTheHouseElk · 13/03/2022 21:10

It’s not lavender, it’s like old fashioned soap.

To me it smells like the maternity dept at the community hospital.

I'm like that with blue fabric conditioner and floor cleaners. I don't know what it is, but they make me wretch so much.

I think I will see if I can find a bottle somewhere and have a sniff. I love almond scented floor cleaners like Methods almond floor cleaner. Much nicer than fruity ones. My go to is Flash lemon but I am a bit tired of it now.

This is my favourite. To me it smells like,’holiday cleaning’,It’s citrusy and fresh! It smells like Italian hotels.
