Hi, i have never used this but see it mentioned on here a lot, what do you use it for?
I don't have a standard mop, i use a steam one.
I have indoor cats so hoping if i use on radiators/spray on carpets it might help with any odours?
Thank you :-)

Is it safe for animals?

Zoflora smells awful IMHO.

Please don't spray Zoflora on carpets. It's safe to use the pet-specific version where there are pets, so long as it's left to dry first. It'll take ages to dry on a carpet and your cats will get it on their paws and, being cats, lick their paws to wash themselves.

This has useful information on the pet-safe Zoflora: www.zoflora.co.uk/pets/pet-faqs/

It's just a disinfectant with synthetic perfumes. I have used it for years, but not very often. The problem with carpets is that if they are thoroughly washed, they take ages to dry, so they're not really practical in high traffic areas.

Pet-wise, bathing dogs when necessary, washing bedding often and opening windows helps. As do candles or oils in a diffuser.

I do a cycle with it in the washing machine every so often.

Thank you, i won't bother then.

I do clean the cats and hoover every day plus run air purifiers, i guess i'm just paranoid about smells, especially as we get to winter and i don't want windows open too long

I use it in the washing machine for stinky gym kit. I've used it on puked on carpet before too. Down your sink plug? Any of the zoflora varieties are ok around animals as long as the surface is left to dry first

I soak the dish cloths in overnight. Wipe the worktops with it sometimes but tend to use method.

I prefer the dettol with lavender and orange oil. Capful down sinks and in Washing machine.
