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!!

My friend got the only Hello Spring in Morrison's. I'm so jealous.
I've found the honeysuckle and Jasmine on eBay for £3.45!!! Confused
I'm still trying to hunt down the elusive Orchid.
THIS is what my life has become. Grin

I have seen Orchid this week in poundworld, the limited editions in home bargains were 99p, I should have got more!

Glad you got your hello spring, it's actually quite strong but I like strong smells and have picked up another so now have 3, Tesco again.

This is the best thread in the world!! Found honeysuckle and Jasmin in home bargains today and also pink grapefruit both £1, both lovely. Particularly like the honeysuckle one.

WorriedAndCrazy · 22/03/2017 12:55

Ok I'm convinced now Grin. Bought some Citrus and my house smells amazing!! I also bought Twilight but I don't feel brave enough to have a day away from Citrus Blush. So glad I persevered Wink.

I won't be bothering with Bouquet or Rose again though.

Citrus is great.

MakeMineADoubleGin · 22/03/2017 20:31

I bought Hello Spring yesterday…found a couple of drops is much nicer smelling than a generous dose.

Went to a different supermarket today specifically to look for other ZoFlo scents. Found linen. RESULT.

I am also a store-sniffer!

Right. I need me some limited editions!

Zoflorabore · 23/03/2017 21:26

Mint- have replied Wink

Worried- knew you would feel the love in the end Grin

I can't find hello spring Sad I'm going to try big Asda tomorrow!
Got my new bottle of linen at the ready for sorting out the bedroom, hopefully on Sunday if the weather is good.
We had a damp problem a little while ago and though it's resolved now, the stuff under the bed is a bit grim (rucksacks/travelling stuff). Zoflo to the rescue!

MorwenTheWitch · 25/03/2017 17:43

I... got a bit excited in Savers yesterday. Already had the big Linen one, but I got one of everything else! I used Citrus Fresh with some vinegar and water to clean all the windows today. Felt very springy.

I can send you some on Monday if you'd like?

MintToBe · 25/03/2017 18:25

This is just like Swop Shop 😂

Hoppinggreen · 25/03/2017 22:23

Zoflora is made in my home town.
There was an article in our local paper last week saying that recently sales have rocketed and they can't explain the sudden popularity!!!!
I bet it's you lot

CurbsideProphet · 25/03/2017 23:44

Baby Flora and the discovery of pink grapefruit zoflora! What a time for the thread to have dropped off my Threads I'm On list!

I'll be going past a Savers tomorrow, so I must pop in Grin

TheLionQueen · 26/03/2017 08:17

Thanks Mint but crisis averted, I got the last bottle in morrisons! The box was a bit battered so I think it has been rejected by a store-sniffer...
Hopping I missed the article but nice to see a local MN'er Wink
First wash of manky mouldy holiday clothes is in with a good glug of linen. Bring on the cleaning!

We should be given shares in it! The last thread made it to the roundup and closed at just over 1000 comments.Grin
I hosed the yard yesterday with Lavender. It smelt lovely drying in the sun.

Cornwall73 · 26/03/2017 13:08

I'm a Zoflora convert and new to this thread. Picked up last two bottle of Linen yesterday at the local Co-Op. lovely few drops in the bin and down plug holes and the place smells lovely! Currently looking for citrus!

Zoflorabore · 26/03/2017 13:48

Welcome Cornwall :)

You're in good company here- you will soon find your favourite and a million things to use it on, my two faves ( I can't choose between them ) are bouquet and country garden.

My winter fave is winter morning and always try any new one out, I'm not a massive bleach lover, only use it for toilets and much prefer the smell of zoflo, let us know how you're getting on.

Hi zoflora fans Grin just having a look through the housekeeping threads and come across this. I love zoflora but clearly not as much as all of you, I never realised it had so many uses!

From a quick skim of this thread I have seen cleaning radiators, putting a capful in the softner draw, diluting and using to spray soft furnishings. I plan to try all of these but what other great uses do you all have for it? Will try and read tft!

TheLionQueen · 27/03/2017 21:15

Hello Fox and Cornwall!
Have a read of the many threads if you want some ideas but in addition to the ones you've mentioned, I mop the floors with it and wipe down surfaces/windowsills for a nice smell. Also wiped the inside of the bin lid with some (neat) on Sat and can still smell it when I open it!
Also cleaning the bathroom (tiles etc as smells nicer than bleach) and to clean the drawer of the washing machine as well as adding it to the wash.
Sure there's more but that's my main uses!

Zoflorabore · 27/03/2017 21:41

I was thinking earlier about this!

Say someone new to the thread comes along, they need to read through almost 300 posts- why don't we recap what we love using our zoflo on- I will list mine, anyone feel free to do the same, I could use some new ideas tooGrin

So favourite thing to do is wipe the skirting boards especially in the hallway, front door ( mine is composite ) and outside door sill so creating an illusion of a spotless house haha.

neat on worktops and will still be able to smell 8 hours later.

Floor cleaning, few drops will do.

Windowsills- mine are pvc so obviously not suitable for everyone but I love this.

My new discovery is the cotton wool trick though there was a tangling situation so I'm now just going to deposit in cylinder instead, carpets smelled so fresh.

Stinky washing machine? Run empty with zoflo ( I especially use fresh linen for this job)

Would love to hear more....

I use it to hose down the yard.
I also stick it down the toilet . It's cheaper than VIPoo😂
I also use it to wash the fireplace tiles down as it's great for getting rid of sooty smokey smells.
I'm a Zoflora addict and proud if it
