This might be obvious to some, but to me it was a revelation and has made such a difference!
With current wet weather I've had to dry alot of washing indoors. I usually do it overnight in the dining room with a dehumidifier running. Still, I noticed some things didn't smell as fresh as they should especially hormonal teenagers tight black tops, my gym wear and OH running gear, fabric softner actually seemed to make it worse and vinegar, which usually works didn't seem to do the job anymore. I experimented putting a tiny capful of Zoflora in the rinse cycle, now everything is coming out clean and fresh smelling, no more faustyness that can sometimes result from indoor drying and the bonus is the house smells lovely!

Good idea - I've just started using Zoflora after reading tips on here. I've made cleaning spray which I use for most surfaces (including the kitchen floor) I found a Cherry Blossom variety in a larger bottle the other day and I even got excited about the new fragrance!I must remember that "Money Saving" is not buying heavily discounted items that I do not need. :hello:0

I keep a 'squirty bottle' of dilute zoflora near all of the sinks and basins in my house. I find that a quick squirt in the WM as the powder clears does the trick;)
Also handy for a quick squirt around inside the loo pan, and down the plugholes, instant air freshener:o:)
(The squirty bottles are saved from hair colourant after careful washing out)The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.
Thanks to everyone who contributes to this wonderful forum. I'm very grateful for the guidance and friendliness that I always receive from you.

Please and Thank You are the magic words;)0 -
this sounds a really good idea. I never use fabric softner, but might try this. I used to love zoflora, but havent used it for a long time. Will look out for some next time I am shopping
thanks for tip
