Zoflora!

Justwanttoweeinpeace · 08/09/2016 10:56

After repeatedly reading about how good Zoflora is, I've just invested in some.

Now I can't find a thread telling me what wonderful things I can do with it.

Obviously I've read the packaging, but can anyone give me any other tips?

TIA

I put it in with the washing as it helps get odours out of stinky gym kit/towels, etc. I use it as well as fabric softener (in the same compartment too). Also loving the twilight garden one

I put it in my Hoover filter, makes the room smell fresh. Put it down the sink too.

Pinker - don't put anything in your steam cleaner, unless it has a separate detergent unit. I put a bit of Flash floor cleaner in mine, and it clogged up the tiny steam hole.

I had to disassemble the unit and poke about the little hole. Nothing happened until I got desperate and put my mouth over the hole and sucked as hard as I could, and a load of foamy gunk came out. My DH was ShockConfused
I ran to the sink, spitting and making "bleurgh' noises. That is not going to happen again. Ever.

3catsandcounting I have a steamer with a separate detergent unit - do you know if I can put zoflora in this?

ggirl · 10/09/2016 15:40

Freaky coincidence ..i have just discovered Zoflora after a friend recommended is to clean the floor and rug as dog had diarrhoea all over the house.
I used twilight garden and the house smells amazing!

SwedishEdith · 10/09/2016 15:50

Just bought two greedy because of this thread. Linen, which I've put in the washing. Wouldn't normally do that and it may defeat the object by putting it in actual laundry but I was excited. And Honeysuckle and Jasmine - a 'Limited Edition'. Shock

dementedpixie · 10/09/2016 15:53

I wasn't that keen on the linen one but like bouquet and twilight garden

pinkieandperkie · 10/09/2016 16:05

I went to my sisters recently and her house smelt so good. I asked what it was, assuming a fancy candle, and she said that she had mopped using Zoflora. I'd never heard of it before but will definitely be picking one up.

My mum uses this for everything....I would ,will do when I get round to looking up if it's tested on animals.does anyone know?

dementedpixie · 10/09/2016 16:11

Zoflora website says it's not tested on animals

Lunchboxlewiswillyoumarryme · 10/09/2016 16:15

Lunchboxlewiswillyoumarryme · 10/09/2016 16:16

3catsandcounting · 10/09/2016 16:18

Mole - yes, my sister has a separate detergent unit, and uses Zoflora in it (just a few drops, mind!!) Wink

Buzzardbird · 10/09/2016 16:22

They sell it in the £ shop btw. It is great for spraying over your kitchen bin and wheelie bin and it repels flies.

Peanutbutterpussycat · 10/09/2016 21:54

I would say the best is bouquet- it smells amazing!
Last year around Christmas they had a limited edition one called winter morning and I was gutted when it stopped, really hoping that comes back out this year, at the minute I have a few on the go- will share a pic Grin

Amandahugandkisses · 10/09/2016 21:59

Great ideas on here!

WhoisLucasHood · 10/09/2016 22:00

I love it. I use bouquet and make up a spray bottle like PP with a capful and washing up liquid. I clean the kitchen and bathroom with it. I'll use it to mop the floors once I've used up all the floor cleaner. Smells lovely.

I use it in a spray bottle for kitchen surfaces, a different one for the toilet which I wipe off with toilet roll and on pet bedding/ towels/ our bedding when I fancy it or it's needed by putting half a capful in the detergent bit of the machine. I love it! I spray it into the corners where spiders congregate (the citrus one) neat and it seems to leave a film they don't like so they don't come back!

MollyRedskirts · 10/09/2016 22:07

My DH has a fabric softener addiction. He likes his clothes to smell so fresh, you can smell him from the other side of a room. Obviously this is very expensive and not at all good for my washing machine, as it's encouraging mould to grow in the drawer.

I have started decanting the cheapest softener I can find into an expensive bottle, then I add a whole small bottle of Zoflora, usually rose or bouquet.

Guess what. He hasn't noticed.

TL;DR - Zoflora is good for tricking husbands.

MollyRedskirts · 10/09/2016 22:08

I also like the grapefruit one. I use it to freshen up the dishwasher by adding a capful to a rinse cycle.

vastknapsack · 10/09/2016 22:09

Why can I only find lavender or linen whenever I go shopping? I need to try that sweet pea one!

Themoleisdead · 10/09/2016 22:14

I obviously need to get out more as I am over invested in this thread.

Molly how do you add it to the rinse cycle - do you have to stop the dishwasher at the righ point?

dailyarsewipe · 10/09/2016 22:15

How much do you put in the washer?
