Keep seeing this mentioned. Googled it. Still not 100% sure what it is. Do I spray it like dettol spray or does it go in water like flash? What is it and what can I use it on?

I got a cranberry and orange one in pound land, it's lovely. I just use a few drops neat on a cloth to wipe round after cleaning.

It can make some people feel sick and cause a headache due to the fake perfume, and cause skin irritation, do be careful.
It stinks too, like those reed diffuser things which also cause the same symptoms.

I have tried it, and I got rid of it sharpish.

Not much chance of my home ever being sterile with a spaniel and 2 kids.
I can well imagine if I got pregnant again I could obsess over zoflora Grin

I clean the bin with it, put a bit in the fabric softener drawer if there is yucky laundry (puke or poo) and for washing the dogs bed. Also use it diluted in a spray to wipe kitchen and bathroom surfaces and occasionally splash a bit down the waste disposal if it's stinky. Agree that splashing it around everywhere is probably not healthy, tend to keep it for germ killing purposes

They all smell like disinfectant. A nice one, but still disinfectant none the less.

Be careful with this, it’s a disinfectant and it’s not healthy to sterilise your home. It’s not an air freshener so only use it where you would dettol and for the same reasons.

Zoflora doesn't contain phenols, it's the fragrance in them that goes cloudy. They are safe for use around pets as long as the surface dries first

i put a capfull in my carpet shampooer when i do my carpets, the whole house smells lovely when ive finished , i have three cats and non of mine have ever reacted to zoflora, you just have to be careful to keep the cats away from it when its in liquid form as all disinfectants that go cloudy in water are not animal safe

Zoflora is not toxic to animals once it had dried (includes all flavours). I have used it on carpet after ds puked on it. I use it in the washing machine for smelly gym kit too.

I love the rose one, I've only come across it in small bottles though. I tend to get mine from savers and they do massive bottle in there but alas not in my favourite flavours.

I usually put a bit in with hot water in the sink then wipe down all the kitchen surfaces it with. Sometimes do the bathroom with it too just for the lovely smell.

Hadn't thought about putting it in a spray - I'm going to try that!

My dh used to moan about it

Now he uses it more than me Shock

I looooove the grapefruit one but he prefers bluebell woods. Since he does most of the cleaning, he gets to win on that Grin

I love the Christmas one and the lavender one.

I use zoflora to clean the kitchen bin and heavily diluted to mop the hard floors.

I hadn't thought to use it on the bathroom sink/toilet.

I love it. Put it in the washing machine for scent works really well.

It doesn't remove the smell of fox poo from a spaniel and I was really hopeful about that

I recently picked some up after reading about it on here and I love it. My cupboards and skirting boards have never been so clean! I put a cap full in the bottom of the dishwasher and put it on an empty cycle and my dishwasher smells lovely.

It's on offer in Morrisons and Sainsbury's at the moment

Glad it's not just me, Lovewine! I haven't sniffed tea tree oil yet, but I'm sure I'd love it. I'm also addicted to sniffing Vic's vapour rub. Confused

I really don't think you need ti "disinfect" your sinkholes every day! It does smell nice, but isn't very healthy really. I'd suggest something slightly more people- and environmentalky friendly for daily use, like the Method sprays, (also smell lovely)
