I don’t think I like zoflora!

😂. Heard on here how amazing it is and how people use it for everything so I got some. Fresh linen scented. I’ve used it down the sinks and diluted some and have cleaned my skirting boards downstairs and door frames. It reeks. So strong. Have got the windows open and hoping the smell fades away. I was really hoping for a lovely fresh scent too. 😂

Bought it once horrible overpowering smell. Never again.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 12/09/2018 13:32

I don't like it too. I use Flash lavender for floors/cleaning etc. It's lovely and makes the house smell clean.

CurlsLDN · 12/09/2018 13:32

You did dilute it fully, right?

SneakyGremlins · 12/09/2018 13:35

I don't mind it but I agree with Dick, Flash is better - not tried the lavender one though!

SneakyGremlins · 12/09/2018 13:35

DUCK Shock

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 12/09/2018 13:35

Dick 😂 I hope that wasn't a Freudian slip 🧐

LanguidLobster · 12/09/2018 13:35

That stuff gets everywhere, I saw a relative at the weekend and she said 'oooh I've got a bottle of concentrated stuff' and bunged zoflora at me. Actually she was quite upset I had heard of it already (wasn't any point of telling her it's a cult item on MN, she doesn't use the web).

The scents really differ actually, she had spring bloom or summat like that, smelt quite nice?

The linen one smells like gin to me. I'm afraid people will think I'm a raging alcoholic.

The Christmas ones are great though, as I can't stretch to £££ fancy candles. The house smells nice and is cleaner than normal from November to January. Grin

BigusBumus · 12/09/2018 13:39

I bought some recently too for the first time and think I didn't dilute it enough. I bought the Ltd Edition Tropical one. Smells very strongly of Pina Coladas or something. Anyway, second time I used it I diluted it much more. (Like two lid-fulls in a whole mop bucket) and it was much nicer.

JaneJeffer · 12/09/2018 13:40

It's awful.

SneakyGremlins · 12/09/2018 13:41

Languid could you ask her for a recommendation? Grin

LanguidLobster · 12/09/2018 13:41

Duck is an NC coming up to GreatDickCookery...?

SneakyGremlins · 12/09/2018 13:42

Phosphorus They do Christmas ones?Shock

NannyR · 12/09/2018 13:42

I don't mind some of the smells, like the springtime one but the linen one is awful, smelt like horrible cheap aftershave to me.

GruciusMalfoy · 12/09/2018 13:43

I'd not keen on the linen one either, but some of the citrus ones are quite nice.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 12/09/2018 13:43

Haha Languid could well be Grin

Miladymilord · 12/09/2018 13:45

The Christmas ones are lovely. The rest are fairly unpleasant tbh. I wish they did a lovely green herby scent but they all seem to be sickly

Pibplob · 12/09/2018 13:46

Yes it’s awful! So disappointed. Will maybe see if I can find a different scent and give that a whirl but I’m def not feeling the love for it! Yes I did one capful to 400ml of water. Think that’s what it said on the back. I wouldn’t mind the strength of it if it was a nice smell.

Yes Sneaky every year they bring out a couple - like cinnamon & apple, or winter frost or some daft name.

I've not had a bad Christmas one yet. Xmas Grin

Miladymilord · 12/09/2018 13:50

Cranberry and orange was not nice. Winter spice and cinnamon are good. The linen one is yucky.

The new lavender escape smeels like diarrhoea

BellBookandCandle · 12/09/2018 13:52

😱 heathen!! Zoflora is fantastic. I use a few drops in the kitchen bins a few drops down the sink each evening before bed and wipe it undiluted across the radiators so it fragrances the room when the radiators are on. Also use it to wash my floors - keeps everything smelling fresh and clean.

QueenNovo · 12/09/2018 14:04

B&M have the Christmas ones in stock already, bought Warm Cinnamon yesterday.

Haworthia · 12/09/2018 14:07

Sniff before you buy! The small glass bottles have a seal on the lid so you can’t crack them open, but the plastic bottles all have lids you can unscrew for a sniff.

I’m not keen on the linen one but love anything citrus-y, Springtime and Summer Breeze Grin

reluctantbrit · 12/09/2018 14:40

For me Zoflora is a disinfection, not a normal cleaning stuff. For everyday cleaning I use all purpose cleaner and unless there was a disaster that is enough, no disinfection required.

I bought one bottle to get rid of sweat smell in mixed fabric clothes and it is the only thing that works. I pour it undiluted across the arm pits and leave it for 1-2 days. Wash as usual.

The only other time I used it when DD wet herself so thoroughly that her shoes were soaked. I wiped them clean and then used the stuff on a papertowel to wipe it inside and outside and left it to dry.
