Undiluted Zoflora can be poured down ceramic and metal sinks, drains and toilets to kill bacteria and viruses, whilst also eliminating odours.

Zoflora disinfectant can also be diluted and used as a spray to create fragrant freshness throughout the home.

Do not allow contact with polished wood, painted or varnished surfaces. Zoflora is not recommended for use on concrete imprint driveways, patios, or other dyed outdoor surfaces.

For general disinfection of all other surfaces, use Zoflora diluted 1 to 40 with water. One capful of the 120ml, 250ml or 500ml bottle sizes (10ml) will make approximately 400ml of full-strength disinfectant.

Yes.

Unfortunately we have not tried and tested mixing Zoflora with other cleaning products, so we are unable to recommend mixing Zoflora with any other substances.

Unfortunately we have never tried and tested this method, so we are unable to recommend mixing Zoflora with any other substances.

We do not recommend this as Zoflora is a flammable liquid undiluted and as we have not tried and tested this method, we cannot tell you if it will affect your steam mop.

A disinfectant is a substance which contains chemicals that kill bacteria and viruses. Zoflora concentrated antibacterial disinfectant has a unique triple action formula which kills bacteria and viruses with an effective odour neutraliser and a selection of bespoke, high-quality fragrances.

Zoflora products can be used as often as required throughout the home to keep surfaces and areas hygienically clean and smelling fresh.

The active ingredient is benzalkonium chloride.

We are constantly exposed to various microorganisms in our daily lives. Most of these microorganisms are harmless, and some actually help to keep us healthy. But some microorganisms can be harmful and cause real health hazards such as food poisoning, sickness and diarrhoea, and coughs and colds.

These harmful microorganisms are known as 'germs'. These "germs" live all around us on surfaces, in the air, in plants, pets and people. Examples of harmful microorganisms include:

  • bacteria e.g. salmonella, which can cause food poisoning
  • viruses e.g. rhinovirus, which can cause colds
  • fungi e.g. candida, which can cause thrush

Disinfection reduces the number of microorganisms to a level not harmful to health. When diluted 1 part Zoflora to 40 parts water, Zoflora antibacterial disinfectant kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses found in the home.

Always read the label and product information before use.
