Zoflora - what can I do with it?

[NorbertDentressangle]

I've seen Zoflora mentioned on here a lot but never really known what it is so, today, when I saw it on the shelf in the supermarket I bought some on a whim (Fresh Linen fragrance I think it is?).

Whats the best way of using it?

It stinks to high heaven. I clean the loo with it though. I have no idea why I buy it other than I always have.

GetOrf -is it one of those products that your Mum or Gran used so you've always used?

I'm sure my mum had a bottle gathering dust in our undersink cupboard throughout my (same bottle, never used!) so it seemed familiar when I heard it mentioned on here.

Do you just put a capful in the water for the fragrance? Or actually use it for cleaning/scrubbing the toilet clean?

*throughout my childhood

No, my gran used Vim, nicked from her chambermaiding job

I remember buying a bottle of zoflora for my first flat when I was 16 because it was a kind of luxury. That and ribena, findus crispy pancakes and coloured loo roll. I don't buy the other shit now but still put zoflora in my basket when I go shopping, insanely.

For some reason I think it's just really nice to clean the loo with it. Madness.

Loyal to the brand then!

I bet your Gran's Vim was in one of those sprinkly tins with a slightly rusty top? (another childhood memory of mine from the cupboard under the kitchen sink)

I put this in a squirty bottle, diluted to wash the floors, great smell, just squirt and mop, job done

i also use it to do my floors with.

I put a tiny, tiny bit in the water before I steam clean the kitchen floor. Have loved Zoflora for years!

It reminds me of my first house and when my kids were little.

I put a capful in with the laundry.
And use it to disinfect where there were dead mice.
Dilute it into a spray bottle for general disinfecting.

I get through a surprisingly large amount

A small piece of J cloth soaked in zoflora & placed in the vacuum emits a nice smell & stops stinky hoover syndrome.

It's the same as Dettol, I think. Oh, I'm too lazy to Google it, but the sort of disinfectant that goes cloudy in water is pheno-something. Anyway, it's just highly fragranced, highly concentrated disinfectant.

Also, it's toxic to cats. Don't spray it around or use it on surfaces that your cat might come in contact with.

Unless you don't like your cat Katy

:D

Thanks for the tips.

I think I might get a spray bottle tomorrow and use it for bathroom surfaces, utility room etc.

Like the tip about the hoover too as I really hate that 'warm dust' type smell you get when vacuuming.

Loved the hoover tip too. I used it today and got high on the fumes whilst doing housework I actually traded my smelly Henry and bought a new one 'cos I couldn't stand it any more. My current Henry was getting smelly so he can stick around a bit longer now

I love the rose scented one.

I use it to wash my floors, it makes the whole house smell nice.

If your Henry gets smelly, a new filter is cheaper than a new machine.

I love the citrus one. I use it for the loo but now going to do the floors with after reading this thread.

Good for cleaning the nit comb. I love it.

Mine's Springtime but I'm inclined to buy more now thanks to this thread

I didn't realise that there was a citrus one.

I went for the Linen Fresh one as the others all seemed a bit too floral.

ooh, just had a look at the website and seems they even do/did a limited edition
Warm Cinnamon one. I'd love to try that one!

I wish there was a scratch n sniff section here

Their website is very good. Has a section on pets, apparently OK so long as they don't lick it or walk on wet Zoflora'd areas
