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!
