Zoflora

[toriah]

I've bought Zoflora, have diluted it into a spray bottle... but how do I use it? Would love some advice. Bought it because i loved the smell, and think i've heard about it, but can't remember what.... Grateful for all help! Thank you

[Cynicaloldgimmer]

Yes. I clean as normal then wipe over with cloth soaked in zoflora solution, or spray with it diluted. It isn't a detergent. It does smell great, though they don't make "flower shop" fragrance any more. I used that one for years. And years.

[toriah]

can you mix zoflora with other detergents?

[ShutTheFridgeUp]

Amazon have a huge range, as do savers.

I use it as a cleaner, should I not?
I love the stuff, linin fresh is my fave.

I also chuck it in the sink with hot water even if I'm not cleaning just so I can smell it

I've never tried it on windows, can I just use it on its own or do I need windowline or something with it?

[AbbeyRoadCrossing]

I use it as a cleaner, so will spray the floor before I steam mop for example so it smells nice. The steam mop can be used to clean with just steam so presumably doesn't matter if the zoflora does anything extra rather than smell nice!

[toriah]

think i might need a steam mop too :)

[Wh0Kn0wsWhereTheTimeGoes]

It's a very concentrated disinfectant, it only kills germs, it doesn't dissolve dirt or grease, so it's fine in any situation where surfaces are clean already, you wipe it over, leave it to disinfect. But if there is actual dirt you probably need detergent/steam too or you will have to do a lot of scrubbing. I prefer essential oils for general household fragrance as I only use strong disinfectants sparingly.

Normally love the stuff - it cleans glass and mirrors really well. But the hyacinth one is not great - so strong I gave the bathroom a wipe down with it this morning and can smell through the house. It's a bit old lady ish

@Katietwinmum I hate the flowery ones; rose, springclean (or springtime) and hyacinths. They really stink.

The apple one is really acidic too.

I bought the linen fresh one also and bought it to spray down my loo now that DS is standing up to pee! For that, its perfect!
and the floor, it smells so clean! Love it! thanks MN!

I just bought the limited edition pink grapefruit one from Poundworld today, it smells lovely!

[nursebickypegs]

Managed to get Hello Spring and I love it.

[toriah]

I need to get to poundworld :)

[OhDearToby]

I put a capful of it in the fabric softener bit of the washing machine to make everything come out smelling extra nice. I only like the smell of the linen fresh one.

Dd1 was massively sick all over my bed a few weeks ago, I went through a whole bottle while washing all the duvets, pillows and bedding.

[ElspethFlashman]

So how do you treat a.pukey carpet with it?

I seem to remember someone saying it was useful for that. We've had a few nights of projectile vomiting here.

Loads of helpful ideas here.

I second the pink grapefruit is lovely, I cleaned all the kitchen worktops today.
I usually out a couple of capfuls in with a towel wash instead of Softener.

I managed to get the pink grapefruit one in B&Ms. Definitely smells incredible, and it's a favourite along with citrus.
