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?

Could you use it on Car seats?
My H car has this musty smell from where his car sat for awhile..Wondering if this would make a difference?

IggyAce · 16/09/2017 22:37

I have a spray bottle with it diluted in its great for mirrors and windows, I spray the kitchen sides and wipe with a damp cloth. Also pug a cap full in the washer when doing bedding or towels.
My favourites are linen, pink grapefruit and I've just got warm cinnamon to try.

Weirdly, I'm 9 month's pregnant and one of my main cravings has been the smell of Zoflora and cleaning products

I had the exact same craving, along with the smell of tea tree oil Grin

ChoccyJules · 16/09/2017 22:40

I had never heard of it until reading household threads on here, I almost got some but I read on their website that it's toxic for cats. So I was worried about using it as our dopey moggy does lick the odd floor when he thinks he's spotted an edible crumb.

Ugg, i don't like it. I don't like fake smells. I don't get the zoflora love at all.

TheHodgeoftheHedge · 16/09/2017 22:46

@Thegirlwithnousername absolutely!

Excellent thank you! Will go and get some tomorrow!

RicottaPancakes · 16/09/2017 22:58

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)

Oh gosh I kept seeing this pop up all over the place! I thought it was something to help flowers grow!! Good grief. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

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

Geillis I got the Warm Cinnamon, Winter Spice and Limited Edition Orange and Cranberry in Home Bargains today 😊

The winter ones are my faves, I stock up on the Blush

OtterlyNutty · 05/10/2017 20:22

choccyjules they do a pet friendly one, but you can't pick it up in the cheap shops.

ChoccyJules · 05/10/2017 20:24

Thanks I'll investigate.

Floridasunset · 05/10/2017 20:31

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

Floridasunset · 05/10/2017 20:34

My life has obviously hit a low point as I was really excited to see the thread title and be able to contribute to a zoflora thread Grin

Queenofthedrivensnow · 05/10/2017 20:36

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

Pandoraslastchance · 05/10/2017 20:40

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.

Soubriquet · 05/10/2017 20:46

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

Crumblina I was obsessed with cif blue floor cleaner radix and Vicks vapour rub carried it every Where 😁 1st pregnancy was vosene shampoo

lalaloopyhead · 05/10/2017 20:52

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!

dementedpixie · 05/10/2017 20:56

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.

isseywithcats · 05/10/2017 21:04

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
