Dry zoflora mop then used bleach.

I mopped my kitchen floor with diluted bleach today, but I’d previously used the mop with Zoflora (diluted in a bunch of water)

I’ve googled it and there’s a big don’t mix with bleach rule and now I’m worried I’ve made a toxic gas 😅

how likely is it that my dry zoflora mop in my bleach will affect me? 😩 I only mopped half the floor then realised tipped it away and just finished off with hot water in a panic 😂😂

You’ll be fine, if it’s not caused a problem by now chances are your grand!

Do you mean straight after? Just air out the room you’ll be fine.

No a couple weeks ago I used zoflora, then today I used bleach but I haven’t used this mop since using zoflora with it

Won't anything that might cause a harmful chemical reaction have evaporated by now then? It can't hang around forever or we'd all be washing our mops endlessly.

That’s what I thought, and hoped.. I was sure how it worked in that if I rewet it does it reactivate?!😂 I’m a chronic worrier and hate using chemicals anyway, bleach and zoflora are my only two safe household cleaners I’ll use.. obviously not together! 😂

It should be fine. Do you rinse the mop after use? If so, the chemicals won’t still be on the mop.

If its diluted it's fine nothing will happen, you really should be rinsing your mop because germs!

ChronicallyOnLime · 12/03/2025 10:35

I only rinse the mop in the solution then let it dry so no I don’t rinse it in fresh water afterwards 😩
