I've only gone and done it, felt like I would never know peace until I'd tried it at least once, what a sad sack!

I love it!

sfamsua · 08/10/2025 22:18

I love it too!

Handedin · 08/10/2025 22:20

Nice smells but really not very good cleaning.

Namechanged4today · 08/10/2025 22:28

Loved it at the beginning but then every bottle took on a weird burnt smoke smell. I binned it.

chalkfloss · 08/10/2025 23:22

Well I guess I just need to see for myself, it does get mixed reviews and I think it's really too expensive for what it is but I've been wanting to try it for ages so finally took the plunge!

Smells nice but not convinced it really cleans. The microfibre clothes are good quality though!

Pushmepullyou · 08/10/2025 23:25

I’ve been using it for about 6 months and I love it

ThankGodItsAutumn · 08/10/2025 23:26

I like it and was pleasantly surprised by how well it cleaned my well used kitchen, although expected the amazing fragrance which is the big selling point to last a bit longer.

Allschoolsareartschools · 08/10/2025 23:29

Cloths are brilliant & I find it surprisingly good at cleaning. Especially good on upholstery & the bathroom cleaner is great.
BUT the smell just doesn't last! It's not the spa like home I thought it would be.
I've had 3 deliveries but I'm going to cancel now. Totally get the 'not knowing peace until you tried it' feeling! 😄

BeeCucumber · 08/10/2025 23:47

Not a fan. Very expensive and not very effective in my experience.

NewGirlInTown · 08/10/2025 23:56

I tried it too and was really disappointed at how quickly the fragrances fade.
Ten minutes after cleaning a room, absolutely zero remaining fragrance. 🙁

Giddykiddy · 09/10/2025 10:09

oooh not heard of it - love a faddy expensive product - off to investigate!

NotNowMrTumble · 09/10/2025 10:13

Following with interest. Report back OP.

caramac04 · 09/10/2025 10:18

I use this because I’ve no sense of smell and I have dogs. My hope is that my house smells nice. I do vac, steam mop and wash dog bedding but still….
Those that say the smell doesn’t last, do you think it might be that you have got used to the smell and no longer notice it? Does anyone comment on a nice scent in your home?
I used it to clean the bathroom and airing cupboard doors yesterday and it did a decent job. I often use Elbow Grease for the hob though.

HundredMilesAnHour · 09/10/2025 10:21

I like it. I tend to use it for a bit of a ‘spruce up’ rather than a ‘main clean’ if that makes sense. I love the smell but as others have said, it doesn’t really last but it makes cleaning a lot more pleasant when it smells nice!

I gifted some to friends and they love it. And my friend’s mum was raving about the quality of the cloth. 😂

There’s a sucker born every minute. 😆 Read your Trustpilot reviews before you succumb. It’s overpriced for what it delivers.
Light a Zara Home white jasmine candle (best smell ever!)to make your home smell beautiful and stick with your regular cleaning products that likely work better.

I have just done a google search on that candle. Soooooo tempted. I have dogs and I spend a fortune on smelly stuff that apparently smells gorgeous only to be disappointed.

I honestly swear I haven’t found a better, more beautiful smell (dogs, cats, ME! We’re a motley crew and white jasmine completely revives my house!).

When I was married, we used to spend our summer holidays at our friends’ French farmhouse (which was like something out of Call Me By Your Name- a beautiful villa almost). I lost that in the divorce! 😆

But the farmhouse had the most gorgeous smell. It was Zara’s white jasmine reeds and candles. I was hooked! The smell still makes me feel like I’m Lady Grantham with my gun dogs and vast estate. In reality, my ancient dog is covered in lipomas, my cat has ‘thyroid’ fur, my ceilings are collapsing, and my garden looks like Berlin’s No Man’s Land, but one whiff of my Zara candle and I’m landed gentry! 🤣
It really is beautiful!

chalkfloss · 09/10/2025 10:42

I will hopefully have it on Monday and will see then! I should have perhaps ordered an extra cloth as I keep seeing how good they are but my plan was to get the initial order, see how it was and then get the loo kit and other bits in future orders if I really like it. I am hoping the smell lasts a bit longer than the method spray.

Sounds absolutely divine. SOLD. I'm buying a candle. 😘

Iamasentientoctopus · 09/10/2025 10:51

I liked it to begin with but cancelled it after 3 deliveries. I live in a very average 3 bed house and 3 little bottles was nowhere near enough to last until the next delivery. In the end I was cleaning with my regular spray and then doing a final clean with the p+f to get the fragrance, which is basically insane when you think about it. I also hated the smell of the lavender one!

These hand crafted candles and reed diffusers are amazing.

Thank you. I have tried so many ranging from cheap ones to really expensive ones, and I have been totally underwhelmed. I am currently using one that I bought from Amazon which is really nice. But I'm always on the look out for more.

It really didn't help when my partner (who doesn't live with me) said my lounge smelt of dog. I wash the dog cover every week and the cushion covers on my sofa weekly too .... and I am at a loss as to what else I can do. So I use smellies to try and cover it up.

mummymissessunshine · 09/10/2025 11:09

I love the loo drops!
not convinced about the cleaning products but they are better than the ones my husband makes!

Well I've ordered Purdy & Figg, God help me!

I bought a single bottle of P&F on Vinted to see what the fuss was about and was very unimpressed - it smelt really artificial and the 'nice' bit of the smell vanished really quickly, leaving a not-very-pleasant undertone.

However, I have just bought this candle and even my teenage DS, who could not care less about candles and scented things, has commented on how lovely it smells, even just sitting on the side unlit.
