Housekeeping

My house/Zoflora

1000 replies

Posting here for traffic.
My house is a bit horrid. I have pets and a messy DH (who does get on board when I have a proper 'spruce' but doesn't notice the daily grime). I can keep on top of genuine rubbish but clutter builds easily. I know nobody can sort this out for me and I am working on it.
What bothers me most is smell. Although it's clean ish, it doesn't smell fresh. I do open windows for a bit every day.
I bought some miracle potion Zoflora yesterday and already mop the floors with it. I want to know what I can do with it as almost like a reed diffuser/air freshener?
I don't put the heating on much (have a log burner) so don't think putting it on radiators would work. I do hoover relatively regularly so can try the cotton wool trick. Anything else I could try? Is it really safe to spray on curtains? Any other tips for a pet household for smell? Thanks in advance!

Not at all!!! It's a great idea. You need to invite the wedding party round to 'sample' the scents on offer before settling on the final one. Great excuse to buy bucket loads of Zoflo!! Then write to Zoflora and ask them to sponsor your wedding!

So I am inspired by this thread (total sheep) and bought a bottle of green valley. Can't be bothered to read the massive thread (who knew so many zoflora lovers out there) so can anyone give me some must use it on items. Wonder if mn should have bought shares in the company, this thread seems to have sparked a resurgence.

Vague memories of mum using it on the kitchen bin.

Kidnapped you're right, I was going to post yesterday as I had intended to clean my bedside table drawers with green valley but I didn't get round to it!
Pulled out my winter jamas and they, and everything else in said drawers,reek of mould / damp Sad I'm hoping it's from when we had a damp problem before so I chucked it all in wash with zoflo, now just need to clean the drawers. Do you reckon it's strong enough on its own or shall I put some bleach in too?

Oh and chips anywhere you'd use normal cleaner I guess- diluted, you can wipe down surfaces/woodwork and mop floors, clean bathroom, a few drops in smelly washing works wonders, wipe your radiator with it so it smells nice when the heating comes on and you can even put some in an old reed diffuser!

I'm in Australia, with my DB visiting soon. For a month. I asked him to bring Zoflora, my only request, specifying the smells and where to get it, i.e. Poundland. He went to the wrong shop the same days as flying, so no Zoflora.

What is the condign punishment for this?

Last night I manged to set my Chimney on fire!Blush
I've just used Winter Spice Zoflora to wash all the tiles, fire surround and anything in the front room covered in soot. So far it's holding that burnt acrid smell at bay! Next up, the sofa throws and cushions will have a turn in the washer with it.

How much is postage to Australia? I'm sure we could arrange for some to be sent over to you! And then make him clean your house.

:o Prancer .
Fab idea.

You can buy it online at fkuckstupid prices here, but a very narrow range; it completely makes sense to get visitors to bring it.

echt, alert the immigration people.

He should be returned to his country of origin, forced to buy all the different Zoflora scents, and only then should he be allowed in the county if he has all the different scents in his bag, complete with authentic Home Bargains receipts.

And even then he should have round-the-clock surveillance in Australia. If he is capable of failing to purchase Zoflora in the UK, then God knows what buffoonery he is capable of in Australia.

I agree with Kidnapped and think he should add a couple of spray bottles too, for the different flavours, as added punishment.
I'd send you a bottle echt so you can feel the zoflo love!

Finally got round to zofloing my mouldy bedside cupboard, I did it with a mix of bleach and zoflo then just zoflo. It's drying outside now while I pray its worked..
Anyone any idea on some sort of homemade drawer liner?

I don't know how to do it, but I would also like a zoflora drawer liner!

The thread is nearly full if you can believe it Xmas Grin

I can't believe it! Who knew there was such love for Zoflora..
I've bought some tumble drier sheets to fashion some drawer liners out of. I think when the fragrance runs out I'll spritz with some diluted and see how that goes!

My loyalty to "winter morning" has been seriously compromised by "winter spice" it's divine!
I went and bought another 3 bottles yesterday.
When I was diagnosed with OCD a few weeks ago my consultant asked me how bad I was for cleaning. Showed him a pic of my zoflo collection and he just nodded and wrote something down!

I am keeping them in bloody businessGrin

I have a thread here somewhere called "slight zoflora addiction" if anyone wants to join me on there. I don't know how to link!

Who's gonna take the last place of the thread?
