After reading post after post saying how good it is I've finally bought some.
So, now what?! Other than cleaning my floor what else should I be doing?
Thank you

Lol I also bought some for the first time after the other day's threadGrin I've seen it around for years but never thought to try it. So far only washed the floor but it smelled very nice. It's such a little bottle though. I think I might have put too large a glug in the wather actually. To be fair I was cleaning up after dd had an awful sick bug episode so went a bit ott.

4littleones That's odd, the website mentions using for kitchen surfaces many times but says nothing about avoiding food contact areas. I think I've thrown the box away so can't check mine. I use in my kitchen, though food mainly only touches chopping boards anyway. If I was rolling pastry etc I would usually wipe the surface with plain water and dry with kitchen towel anyway, to avoid getting any kitchen cleaning product onto the food.

The only thing I'd say to avoid in the kitchen is the cooker, as Zoflora is highly flammable.

I got mine today, it's a limited edition, oriental lily.
I'm excited to use it ;)

I remember my mum having it when I was a little girl.

I am in my 40's and have never heard of or seen Zoflora beacuse I am a slattern and don't spend much time in the cleaning products aisle! Will be looking out for it now...

My mum used to buy it, I'd forgotten all about it until one of these threads a few weeks ago lured me into buying a bottle. I don't know why I did, I hate artificial fragrances, fabric conditioner etc and don't like this, will not be buying again.

This has made me all nostalgic for childhood, and it see I can have it shipped here to Australia.

I've found it in my local Tesco (range of scents) and the 99p shop. I've got Hyacinth (a bit overpowering) and Lavender (much better) to try. The drain smell in my bathroom does seem to have gone though that might have been helped by the bleach I put down the sink a few days prior to trying Zoflora.

I've diluted some in a spray bottle for cleaning in the bathroom and for spraying on a cloth to wipe door handles and light switches (dd picked up threadworms from school earlier in the year so a bit more focussed on hygiene than I used to be!)

I have bought my first bottle today so interested to see what I can do with this! I think mine is springtime, 89p from my local discount store. Bumping the thread to see if anyone else has any other great ideas!

Don't use it on a car set that a cat has weed on. I did and the resulting cat wee mixed with zoflora is ingrained in my mind. Every time the car got hot the smell came back.....

Antibacterials are the problem not the solution
