This post is going to highlight some creative Zoflora uses you may not have thought of.
Now, I like a clean home – but my mum is another level. She is very house proud, and that means when my mum can’t stop talking about how good a cleaning product is, you know it’s legit.
Plus, Zoflora is a fantastic way to be more frugal around the house, as it’s so versatile that you don’t need to be stocking up on countless other cleaning products: you’ve got an all-in-one disinfectant to use everywhere with just one product.
It’s readily available on Amazon in single and multi-packs for very reasonable prices, but you can also get it in your local supermarkets, B&M, Poundland, more.
Can Zoflora be used in the washing machine?
Yes, Zolfora is suitable for use in washing machines! You can either use a water and Zoflora solution to wipe down the outside of your machine, or you can also add a capful of Zoflora to an empty drum and put it on a hot wash to clean the inside of your machine.
Can you use Zoflora on carpet?
Zolfora is perfect for cleaning and eliminating odours on carpets. You can use a diluted solution and scrub stains/odour patches on your carpet, or another great tip is to put a few drops of Zolfora in your vacuum cleaner for amazing smelling carpets!
Can you use Zoflora in an iron?
It’s not a good idea to put Zolfora in your iron, as this could cause the device to break. If you wanted to freshen up your clothes, a good idea could be to put a capful of Zoflora in a trigger bottle and dilute with water, then just spray the solution over your clean clothes before ironing.
