Slight zoflora addiction

Hi, I was on the last zoflora thread but can't seem to find it.

I've been shopping tonight ( Asda ) and bought a couple more bottles of winter morning as I do when I see them.
Came home, goes to cleaning cupboard and there is no room for said bottles, I have around 25 bottles of bloody Zoflo Blush

I need to restrain myself from buying and then get my arse in gear, have a massive winter clean and get rid of some of it.
Anyone else still loving theirs?

Would be interested to see how different people use it, I tend to put mine in mop bucket, use on sink and worktops and my favourite is skirting boards.
Oh and I was diagnosed with OCD last week, makes a lot of sense!!

I often go to a lovely pub in your direction, for food I may add! It's in Crank, The Colliers Arms, a hidden gem :)

I'm going to hunt down this new zoflora I swear I will find it and stockpile Grin

I've said it on another thread that we need a NW mumsnet meet, the big one is always in London...

A Scottish one would be good too.

Still trying to hunt down the elusive Orchid here.
Yesterday I went to Poundland and walked past the Zoflora. I swear I got the shakes, withdrawal symptoms 😂

I bought Hyacinth recently and it's awful. It all went down the drains, so not completely wasted, but it nearly made me sick.

Hello Spring on the other hand is lovely and fresh, and Bouquet is nice too........they've restored my faith.

TheLionQueen · 15/03/2017 11:51

Hello everyone! I've been very quiet lately but still zofloraing a bit
I recently discovered the joy of Lavender, I've always overlooked it before but it's lovely!
Also had a scan yesterday so thought I'd introduce you to Flora/Rose/winter or whatever we're going with Grin

Ah congratulations!!!

Well I'm a happy bunny today as I've finally tracked down the new spring limited edition zoflo!!!

It's called "hello spring" and is lovely Smile

The only problem is that they only had ONE bottle left in Asda so I grabbed it before
Anyone else spotted it but I need more...

I just came on here to start a Zoflora thread. Congratulations LionQueen!

I'm nesting like mad and obsessed with cleaning products. After reading countless threads about Zoflora on here I decided to buy some this morning. I've literally used the full bottle neat on the downstairs of my house - skirting, doors, facings, windows, window sills and frames, units and also used diluted to mop the kitchen floor.

I CAN'T SMELL IT!! I'm really disappointed was so excited to use itBlush. I had a bit left in the bottle that I was planning on diluting in a spray bottle for curtains etc but I spilt it over the window sill so just soaked it up with a cloth and wiped around.

I've also wiped over the radiators but after my cleaning spray I'm too hot to test that out. Where am I going wrong? From what I read you only need to use a tiny amount and I've used the full bottle and can't smell anything.

WorriedAndCrazy · 15/03/2017 12:13

Cleaning spree not spray Blush

Zoflorabore · 15/03/2017 12:15

Worried- which one have you used? Some are stronger than others but I'm surprised you cannot smell it! I can often smell mine from outside the house Blush

Great name Grin. I used bouquet. It was between that or rose at my local shop. Or lavender but have read lavender one is horrible and I'm not keen on lavender scent in general anyway. I keep popping out the front and standing for a couple of minutes then coming back in to see if I can smell anything Blush. Desperately hoping for a visitor to pop by so I can ask them if my house smells nice Grin.

MadisonAvenue · 15/03/2017 12:23

I've noticed a difference in strength too. I found the limited edition Christmas ones, which I've just finished up using, were much stronger than Country Garden I've got on the go at the moment. Next one I'm trying is Twilight Garden.
I'm on the look out for Citrus Fresh, I love citrus scents.

WorriedAndCrazy · 15/03/2017 12:34

Perhaps it's my sense of smell. I have those automatic air fresheners, used a load of shake and vac and I've bought some scent booster for the laundry and I can't really notice any of this stuff either. Getting paranoid now that perhaps my house has a horrible smell that masks all my nice fragrancesGrin. I'll find out once I pick my daughter up from school she often comments if the house smells nice.

TheLionQueen
Just wow. 😁😁😁😁😁

TheLionQueen · 15/03/2017 16:58

Thanks Grin it all feels very real now which means I'm panicking about this house. Zoflo stock up and some serious sorting and cleaning required or there will be nowhere for this baby to go!
Intrigued about Spring Fresh, I like the sound of it! Asia is furthest away from me but they usually have good scents so I'll have a drive out.
Madison have you tried Springtime? I find that quire citrusy.
Worried I am worried you can't smell the results of a whole bottle! Let us know if your DD can!

TheLionQueen · 15/03/2017 17:00

Haha. I don't normally bother correcting typos but I did mean Asda not Asia! That would be a long way to go for some disinfectant!

WorriedAndCrazy · 15/03/2017 17:17

Lion I know I feel like a freak. Especially as pregnancy is supposed to make you have a heightened sense of smellHmm. I asked her if the house smelt nice she said yes. I asked what does it smell like and she answered 'soap' so have no idea. I'm going into town tomorrow so I will buy a few different ones to try out.

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 15/03/2017 17:24

I'm not sure if it's just me but I am not getting the love.

I bought some the other day and put it in with the wash. DH told me never to do it again as his scrubs smelled like 90 year old ladies and one patient even asked him if he had perfume on Grin Shock.

I've used it to wash the floor but I think the febreezw flash I have is nicer. Am I missing something?

TheLionQueen · 15/03/2017 17:37

Oh Worried at least it's not just you though! I think bouquet smells nice but I agree that the more wintery ones tend to linger better (and I can always still smell Springtime).
Gobbolino that made me chuckle! Which one did you use?! Some definitely smell 'old' to me so I always sniff before I buy. You can't go wrong with linen fresh especially for washing- it just smells like clean clothes!

Zoflorabore · 16/03/2017 19:25

Used "hello spring" today! It's very floral and actually really nice.

I'm waiting for the spray zoflora to be in the shops, will be so much easier, can't believe they've waited so long to bring this out!!

No doubt we shall be their best customers Grin

WorriedAndCrazy · 16/03/2017 20:14

I didn't let yesterday's experience put me off. Bought another bouquet today which I watered down in a spray bottle still not impressed but I also bought some rose and currently have my cloths soaking in the sink with some and can notice a bit of a difference so I'll keep going with that and try some other fragrances Grin.

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 16/03/2017 21:00

lion - it was bouquet and I also had a hyacinth one. I fear the house smells like an old people's home.

Might try and track down a citrus one. The thought of a Christmas type one makes me feel 😦

TheLionQueen · 16/03/2017 21:20

I had a sniff of hyacinth last week in wilko and thought it smelled like old people too so stuck with linen!
The citrus ones are lovely esp in kitchen and bathroom, seem to eliminate cooking smells really well.
You stick at it Worried Grin
I'm laid in bed planning my trip to home bargains and Asda tomorrow...

TheLionQueen · 18/03/2017 08:12

Spotted in Home Bargains...

So in my local home bargains yesterday I bought two limited edition Zoflo- pink grapefruit and the other is honeysuckle and jasmine- have yet to try them as been out most of today and haven't cleaned much Blush

I also found hello spring in Tesco today but they only had one so I grabbed it!
