Anyone used Purdy and Figg?

Quite like the sound of their cleaning products but wonder if anyone has used them? Smell is important to me but also want them to actually clean.

I looked at this product myself. But after reading all of your comments I decided against it.

  1. Because of my concerns over entering into a subscription that I would not want too.
  2. I was a little alarmed to hear that other items get added to your basket without your knowledge!
  3. The product doesn't do as it is all hyped up and promised to do.

Therefore I have decided to stick with the new Zoflora spray disinfectant. I have been using this since Covid I love how clean it cleanses areas and the smell is amazing especially the purple one.

They also do the wipes for quickness and ease.

ZOFLORA is my favourite and my daughter now uses it too as do my friends.

The price is good too.

Thank-you for helping me not waste my money. 😁😁😁

Do you own Zoraflora?! I hate the smell of it tbh

I tried it.
It smells nice but for me the fragrance doesn't last and I got through a whole squirty bottle when cleaning the kitchen.

Smells amazing and cleans really well but the smell doesn't linger so it only smells nice when you clean. I was really disappointed.

I found this as well.

I had my starter kit arrive 2 weeks ago, and the subscription every three months. I like the smells, but it definitely doesn't last longer than 10 mins. Also, after 1 week, I was almost out of spray so I topped up the bottle with more water, diluting it even more.

So at best, one bottle of scent would last 10 days - thats not cost effective! I'm also not convinced what the actual cleaning agents are - I might as well mix some of my NEOM essential oils with water and get the same effect?

I think i'd rather carry on using flash to actually clean but maybe do a once over afterwards with the P&F when someone is coming round just for the smell. It's a shame really.

Or just buy a nice diffuser and room spray?

Thanks everyone, have decided not to bother as the introductory offer signs you up to a subscription. Sneaky.

I had the starter offer, tend to use normal sprays still. Not convinced at all.

I use zoflora, I know it's not as ecologically sound but seems divine and it's a hell of a lot cheaper. At the mo I am using the rhubarb one. Just use an old spray bottle, add a bit and fill with water x

We do this too

Helpagirlout222 · 03/11/2024 20:23

Are these things OK with pets? I bought an oil diffuser and then read that essential oils are very dangerous to dogs so haven't used the damn thing!

Ladymac77 · 09/11/2024 15:37

I tried it and was very disappointed, the smell only lasts for a very short time. The glass bottle and cloth are good quality but who would spend that much every month to keep on getting it, it really is very expensive.

This has been interesting .. I'm moving house soon and planning for my new place to be always perfectly tidy and beautifully fragranced .. as you do ..

My favourite cleaning products so far are Method rhubarb for mopping bathroom floors as the fragrance lingers for quite a while. I've been giving the bathroom floors a quick swipe over before each house viewing recently as it just feels so nice when you walk into the room. Method almond wood floor cleaner is also nice.

And Wiltons Cedarwood laundry liquid I absolutely love. Especially for bed linen .. and if you can dry it outside even better!

Am going to investigate Spruce products - I hadn't heard of them before.

Look up Nancy Birtwhistle. Has recipes for cleaning products that you make yourself. I lover her all purpose spray, floor cleaner and cream cleaner.

Have you got a link for Nancy?

Amazing! Thank you 🤩

Thenpinknuttynanny · 09/01/2025 13:06

I don't like it
I've used it on wood,glass,granite and tile.
All surfaces ended up being very sticky
And the perfume not good.
Have gone back to my old way
Plus very very expensive

I’ve tried various different cleaning sprays over the years and in my opinion, nothing beats a homemade white vinegar and water solution- roughly one part vinegar to three parts water in a spray bottle and a glass cleaning cloth. Gets rid of everything and great on windows or glass and I must have saved a fortune over the years. When I want the place to smell nice I use an oil diffuser- favourite oils are probably White company- Lime and Bay is divine.

My wife has just bought a sample set, and every one is far too strong for me. The minute she sprays it my chest tightens, and even the citrus scents are not nice. She is diluting it as directed, and I to have concerns about effect on our cats, as they seem to be concentrated essential oils. Have asked her to throw the lot, as they are far too strong and acrid for me, and have an immediate effect on my breathing. Refuse to be in a room she has used them in for a good hour to give it time to dissipate.
