Been looking through this boars the past few days to eradicate pointless spending but haven't spotted anything yet!
I'm one of those people who has a habit of buying a different cleaning product for everything:o and realised it's a bit daft,especially after I decided to leave my (well,it's not mine now lol) sink unit full of them when I moved a few months back,bringing none with me!Obviously,I purchased SOME after,but not the insane amount used before!
Can anyone recommend a cheap (why splurge on cleaner?) multipurpose cleaner that actually smells nice and does as good a job as stardrops? I have a thing for scents
(loved flash with fabreeze but won't use it upstairs)
Or is there something I can cheaply make and personalise with scent myself? Needs to be used on all surfaces including laminate floors.

Do you like the smell of lemon? I often used to use lemon juice as a pet-safe cleaner. I tend to use vinegar now just because I bulk-bought it cheap and don't have to worry about housemates moaning about the initial smell.
Otherwise, I think Zoflora is scented (seen a Christmas scented one being discussed on here) and quite multipurpose0 -
Zoflora smells lovelyI'm trying so hard to be thrifty, but it doesn't come naturally. You lot are an inspiration!JUST LOVES THE O/S BOARD0

Ooh,something Christmas scented sounds nice!
I can't stand the smell of lemon. Or bleach actually,I never use bleach.If women are birds and freedom is flight are trapped women Dodos?0 -
I second Zoflora as well. That smells nice, its economical in as much as you dilute it alot and not very expensive in the first place.
I'm a sucker for Flash as well and Sainsburys Lavender furniture polish. The house smells lovely after I've used these and the windows have been open all day
I don't buy either of them very oftern though.0 -
Ooooh,just looked at the website and they do a cherry blossom one.That's me sold!!!:D
I don't recall ever seeing in shops though,but that could be due to me being busy picking up a million other bottles:oIf women are birds and freedom is flight are trapped women Dodos?0 -
Currently 2 for £2 at Tesco.
The bottles sound quite small,how much do you dilute it?If women are birds and freedom is flight are trapped women Dodos?0 -
Hi, The bottles are very small compared to other cleaning products. But its something like a cap full (think thimble size) to dilute with enough water to fill a spray bottle.
I've just googled it myself and its stocked everywhere according to the website. I'm tempted to buy some now0 -
I'm a Zoflora fan too
The Christmas one smells of cinnamon and I think it's lovely, I admit to buying a few bottles when I see it as I don't think you can get it all year. I also like the Bluebell and Hyacinth scents, and I think they do (or did) a Springtime or Daffodil one which I loved too.

i love zoflora but tend to use it after cleaning to disinfect surfaces?
i didnt realise it was an actual cleaner?0 -
Zoflora - yup, it's an antibacterial cleaner - have a look here http://www.zoflora.co.uk/
I love the smell!
When my current bottles of cleaner are finished I'm going to start using this for everything (just use for the floors now)
Ohhhh - am I the only person in the world who's allergic to *drops?
