Advantages: Smells divine

Disadvantages: Can't choose which one I like best.

I can't believe I'm about to wax lyrical about a disinfectant !

Introduced this little bottle of magic by my OCD suffering neighbour some 12 years ago after my then 3 year old son had a bout of travel sickness in the car. Nothing would neutralise the odour, she offered a little glass bottle of amber liquid. She warned that a few drops would 'do it'.

Politely I took it, and adminstered what I considered to be a few drops to the back seat then rubbed in with a damp cloth. Trust me this stuff is potent. Not only did it neutralise, it invaded every pore of material ! Lasted well over a month to the point I felt sick at the intense flowery bouqet. Forget your little magic tree car feshner this is cheaper lasts longer and smells - when used with caution - delightful.

So lets move forward to this century. Gone are the days of Dettol (I can't stand the pine 'scent'. I'm sure it's a 60's 70's school toilet thing. And why pine anyway ?) You'll never find me without a store of these little beauties.

Let me explain. One it's not easy on the purse, unless you are easy on it. 120ml bottle (not plastic not glass) of Zoflora Concentrated Antibacterial Disinfectant presented in a little card box will set you back £1.13. Or 250ml of Zoflora Triple Action £2.39. They also produce a little glass bottle of 56ml. The packaging does not scream 'Look at me I'm a disinfectant'. It could be mistaken for a feminine hygiene product. It's usually a top shelf placement in the supermarkets, you won't know it's there, unless you look for it.

Fragrance wise there's not a pine cone in sight.
Bouquet, Citrus Fresh, Cool & Fresh, Flower Shop, Hyacinth, Lavendar, Lilac, Rose, Springtime, Sweetpea and Wallflower. Now not all fragrances are available in all sizes. When I get mine it's usually a pot luck situation when ordering from Tesco's online. But they are all such pleasing fragrances I don't really mind.

All the rules for using disinfectants are as usual, gloves are advisable avoid contact with polished woods etc etc.

Now note the word concentrated. Manufacturer recommend diluting one part zoflora to 40 part water. However the one thing that is to note is the manufacturers do recommend not using any other detergents or soaps with Zoflora as it reduces effectiveness. But I do add a squirt of good ol' stardrops to the mop bucket.

I have an empty spray bottle, warm water and a few drops of Zoflora, wiping over the bin lid alone sends a powerful floral scent throughout the kitchen. Can be used everywhere you use a disinfectant, and the toilet is such a better smelling place after this.

The product range now includes an Antibacterial Bin Freshening Gel and Antibacterial Spray.
