Anyone used both of these? Which do you prefer and why? Thank you Smile

I’ve not used that particular variant of Dettol, but vs Zoflora, Dettol anything is better. Zoflora to me smells really cheap and nasty, and from a family member who worked in the pharmaceutical industry it actually doesn’t work that well for disenfection 🤢.

Although I’ve not used the Lavender and Orange Dettol (I should as I love both those scents), I absolutely swear by the original Dettol liquid (the brown bottle one), it is a bit of a medicinal smell for some, but to me it’s just a very clean and thoroughly disenfected smell.

Wonder if the lavender orange one can be used for personal care/bathing like the brown?

Mind for complete disinfection, nothing beats bleach for me.

Thank you, yes I'm a dettol lover too! Yes I do believe the lavender orange one can be used for skin too. I use bleach only in loos really

The original dettol smells of illness and litter trays to me. Think it's by association. Last time I used dettol DD came home and asked who had been sick.

The orange and lavender one sounds lovely.

Do you mean purple dettol? I love that stuff. I spend a fortune on it. Sometimes it's on offer in Waitrose 2 for £5

I love the pommegranite dettol in the pink botte. I've somewhat fallen out of love with zoflora though. I only use it now to soak the kitchen sponge and cloth overnight.

Yeah the purple one reach. I've ordered it with my weekly shop.
U can soak cloths in it too!
