Zoflora is formulated to protect people from harmful germs and bacteria. However, Zoflora is still a disinfectant that must be used safely especially around pets and children. If you’re new to our Zoflora blogs then you may have missed some important information about how to use Zoflora safely.
So we’ve decided to recap on a few of our Zoflora safety articles to remind our current and new subscribers of a few safety tips. Keep reading to find out 5 tips you should always remember when using Zoflora.
Never Mix Zoflora With Other Products
When you use any cleaning aid or disinfectant you should always read the warning labels to ensure you’re using the product correctly. Zoflora’s warning label states never to mix the concentrate with other products such as sodium bicarbonate or bleach.
The reason why Zoflora advises against mixing the product with other cleaning aids is that it hasn’t been tested by the company. You don’t want to mix Zoflora with bleach only to find that it creates a harmful chemical reaction. The concentrate should only be mixed with cold water.
Rinse Zoflora Off Pet Toys and Bedding Thoroughly
One of the reasons people love Zoflora is that it’s a multipurpose disinfectant. You can use the product to clean germs off of any surface such as tables, floors and sinks. Additionally, you can use Zoflora to disinfect your pets bedding and toys.
However, when using Zoflora to kill germs and bacteria on pet products always rinse the product off thoroughly. Zoflora may cause your pet’s skin to become itchy if it’s not thoroughly rinsed off of bedding or toys. We recommend reading our article on using Zoflora around fur babies.
What’s more, the best Zoflora product to use on pet bedding and toys is Coastal Breeze. It has a light refreshing scent that won’t irritate your pet’s senses.
Don’t Use it in Electric Appliances
Avoid using Zoflora in any electrical appliances that heat up such as:
- Irons
- Steam cleaners
- Electric diffusers
- Vacuum cleaners
On the other hand, it is safe to pour a capful or two of Zoflora into your washing machine because it will be diluted in water and won’t be in contact with a heat source. Ensure you use cold water with Zoflora because the product has not been tested using hot water.
In a news article from Wales Online, the Zoflora brand advised users to not follow the advice of a “cleanfluencer” that said to add boiling water to the concentrate. The Zoflora brand stated that boiling water could negatively impact the ingredients in the concentrate and to only use cold water with the product.
Keep The Concentrate Away From Heat
The Zoflora concentrate in liquid or vapour form is highly flammable. So always keep your favourite Zoflora fragrance away from open flames or stovetops. Keep your bottle of Zoflora in a cool dry area where there are no open wires.
Keep It Out of Reach from Children and Pets
Like any cleaning aid on the market, Zoflora can cause severe illnesses if it’s accidentally consumed. It can also cause eye and skin irritation if the product gets onto your skin or into your eyes. That’s why it’s important to keep Zoflora out of reach of curious children and pets.
Always make sure that your diluted bottles of Zoflora are closed tightly and that they’re high up in a cupboard where children and pets can’t get to them.
How to Use Zoflora
Now that you know more about how not to use Zoflora, here are some tips on how you SHOULD use the product:
- Wear gloves when pouring the concentrate into your spray bottle.
- You can wear safety goggles to prevent getting Zoflora in the eyes when pouring it into your spray bottle.
- Always read the label to find out what the correct water to Zoflora ratio is.
- Use Zoflora to disinfect areas that can harbour mould, bacteria and viruses.
- Always keep a bottle of diluted Zoflora in your car, office and kitchen.
- Zoflora concentrate can be poured down drains to clean them but only pour one capful of the product.
- You can use Zoflora to clean the outside of electrical appliances but make sure you dilute the product first and the appliance is switched off.
