Slight zoflora addiction

Zoflorabore · 19/11/2016 02:48

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!!

Somone tell me in black and white

  1. How do you wash laundry with it?
  2. How do you use it as iron water
  1. What else / how do you lot use it?

Is it quite safe on the skin then to put in with laundry? I love Zoflora and knew about the threads over here so had planned to come and read. I'm going to have a good read of the thread shortly.

I have a part bottle of the cinnamon spice and two bottles of twilight garden, I think it's called.

I've been a bit off the ball! Strong smells, even zoflo, are a no go at the minute.
Pink pop a capful in the fabric conditioner bit of the washing machine. I like to use a bit of fab cond too otherwise I think clothes are a bit crispy.
Never used it as iron water but assume a couple of drops in the water you put in iron would do the trick.
Sewing I assume safe on the skin in laundry as it's rinsed. I know a PP DH had issue though so maybe test out first. I gather you have to be careful with it still wet & pets but that's the only warning I've heard?!

CurbsideProphet · 06/02/2017 21:22

Pink I have used an old spray bottle to mix zoflora with water to clean the kitchen surfaces/bathroom /windows / the inside of my car windscreen. I also use it for a service wash in the washing machine.

TheLionQueen hope you're well and not too sicky Smile

PinkSlipperQueen · 07/02/2017 01:05

Grin im going to buy some tmrw and see what the fuss is about

PeachyImpeachment · 07/02/2017 13:22

I thought I was the only one who stockpiled cleaning materials. We are a sad bunch on here.

TheLionQueen · 07/02/2017 19:55

Sad bunch Shock I'm outraged!
Thanks Curbside I'm up and down, troughing tea & biscuits and ordering DH about mostly! Poor bugger.
I did manage to change my recently zoflorad and line dried sheets today (heaven!) and tomorrow will clean the bathroom if I'm in a fit state.
Heading to home bargains to replenish my stock pile this week!

Treewall · 07/02/2017 21:51

CurbsideProphet · 08/02/2017 19:33

TheLionQueen surely pregnancy is all about constant biscuits and ordering about the man in your life?!

My DP came back from tesco with Twilight Garden and it smells lovely Smile Flowers

squiz81 · 09/02/2017 16:01

I made my first zoflora purchase today after reading this thread. I got Green Valley for £1 in Asda. It smells nice but very strong! It actually really reminds me of something else, I just can't put my finger on what!

MalcolmTuckersOmniShambles · 10/02/2017 09:42

I have a dilemma!

A lovely lady sent me some Rose to try and I absolutely LOVE it! But it's not in any of my local supermarkets 😭.

Is it one of those ones that can only be found in places like Home Bargains, etc?

Also tried Bouquet for the first time today, very nice! I'm quite surprised at how I'm loving the more delicate, floral scents as I don't usually, at all!

MintToBe · 10/02/2017 10:55

Rose is found in Semichem, Savers and Wilkinsons round these here parts.
Also online where I got Sweetpea.

Next time I'm picking some up I'll grab you some. Probably be next week.

MalcolmTuckersOmniShambles · 10/02/2017 16:11

Mint, you're amazing! We do have Wilkinsons here but my nearest one is pretty far away although I might do a trip after half term!

Can I ask where you found Sweetpea online? I'd love to try it but not found it yet.

I'm going to need a new cupboard soon to keep my Zoflora in! Blush

Gwilt160981 · 10/02/2017 16:18

Pound shop sell it.

MalcolmTuckersOmniShambles · 10/02/2017 16:20

OMG, OMG, OMG!!!

Poundshop.com have Rose, Sweetpea and Country Garden in stock! .

I may have to hide this delivery from DH. Blush

MintToBe · 10/02/2017 21:10

I got my sweet pea from concord extra online. Didn't think of poundshop.com.
I love the fact that Rose and Sweet Pea come in lovely little glass bottles. 😆

CurbsideProphet · 10/02/2017 23:05

Oooo I need to go to Pound Land/World, Wilkos, and Savers tomorrow!

MintToBe · 11/02/2017 08:27

Looks sternly at @MalcolmTuckersOmniShambles
Poundland.com is now sold out of Sweetpea. Shock

PrancerForHoney · 11/02/2017 08:31

@squiz81

There used to be a perfume that it smells like but God knows if I can remember the name of it.

@TheLionQueen

How's little Rose doing?Wink
Hope the queasiness is easing.

BriocheBriocheBrioche · 11/02/2017 08:40

I bought some on Amazon after reading this thread. Only arrived yesterday but I think I'm converted already. I seriously burnt toast this morning and it stunk the whole house out. I put a capful on bouquet in a sink full of hot water the house smells delightful now!

MalcolmTuckersOmniShambles · 11/02/2017 09:32

Noooooooooooooooo!!!!

The Poundland order is out for delivery TODAY! How can this be?! It wasn't meant to arrive until Monday at the EARLIEST!

With this and my massive yarn delivery for Candy's Hugs, I am just not going to live this down. . BlushGrin

Mint, I'm sorry! . Would you like me to send you a couple of bottles to see you through? Seems the least I can do!

squiz81 · 11/02/2017 10:06

@MintToBe

I think I've remembered the perfume it smells like - Clinique Sunflower. I just got a whiff of it when I went to the loo and it came to me! It makes sense as my brain was associating the smell with my sister when we worked together many years ago...and she wore that perfume back then.

My youngest trod in dog poo yesterday so I was very pleased that I had jumped on the zoflora bandwagon. His wellies now smell lovely!
