Camping with Zoflora – The Best Way to Travel with Your Product
Zoflora is easy to mix but you don’t want to spend time making bottles of solutions when you’re camping. So before you leave the house grab a small 250ml and 500ml spray bottle and start creating your diluted Zoflora.
Simply fill the two bottles with cold water. Then add half a cap of Zoflora to the 250ml bottle and two caps to the 500ml bottle. Close the bottles and shake them well. Keep them in a bag and pack them in a safe spot in your vehicle when you travel to your camping spot.
Safety Measures when Camping with Zoflora
Similar to other types of disinfectants Zoflora is highly flammable. So when you’re camping with your Zoflora be sure to keep it away from open flames such as campfires or gas stoves. Always make sure that your Zoflora bottles are closed tightly at all times. And lastly, ensure no wild animals, pets or children can open the Zoflora bottles.

Disinfect Your Camping Tent
When you go hiking or use the campsite ablutions you can pick up many different types of bacteria and transfer them to your tent. You can disinfect your tent after your hikes by spraying Zoflora on the tent walls and floors.
Additionally, after your camping trip, you can wash your tent floor with Zoflora to clean away mud, grass and leaves. Simply fill a bucket with cold water and add two caps of Zoflora. Then dip a mop into the solution, wring it out and use it to clean your tent floor. The Zoflora will remove dirt as well as bacteria from the tent.
Clean and Sanitise Your Camping Stretcher
Camping stretchers may have been in storage for a long time so it’s important to disinfect them. An hour before you climb onto your stretcher, spray it down with your bottle of Zoflora. The Zoflora will kill dust mites and germs living on the surface of the stretcher.
Keep Your Sleeping Bags Germ-Free
Another camping item that may be covered in germs is your sleeping bag. It’s important to wash your sleeping bag before and after your camping trip. You can do this by placing your sleeping bag in your washing machine and pouring one camp of Zoflora’s Linen Fresh into your rinse cycle.
Disinfect Ablution Taps and Showers
Camping ablutions are open to all the people staying at the campsite. This means many hands have touched the sink and shower taps which could be riddled with bacteria and germs. Some camp goers have picked up serious sicknesses from public bathrooms and porta-potties such as hepatitis.
To avoid picking up germs from other camp goers, take your 250ml Zoflora spray bottle with you to the bathroom. Spray sink and shower taps, as well as toilet handles before you use them.
Spray Your Camping Boots
Camping boots can pick up dirt and bacteria when you walk around your campsite or enter the ablution blocks. Spray Zoflora onto your shoes and wipe them down with a paper towel. This will prevent you from trending dirt and harmful bacteria into your tent.
Disinfect Your Camp Table
A camping table is where you’ll prepare your food so it’s important to disinfect this surface before and after using it. Simply spray your table with Zoflora and wipe it down with a clean cloth. Disinfecting your table will prevent the risk of contracting salmonella.
Wash Your Camping Linen and Clothes
After your camping trip, you’ll have plenty of laundry to do. You can use Linen Fresh to disinfect all your camping clothes and bedding. Simply pour one camp of Linen Fresh into your rinse cycle for every load of washing you do. The Zoflora will kill all germs and bacteria that you picked up from your camping trip.
Wash Dirt Off Your Tyres
Car tyres can get extremely dirty when you go camping. This is especially true when it’s the rainy season. The rain creates mud and dirty water that sticks to your tyres. After your camping trip, fill a bucket with cold water and pour two camps of Zoflora into the liquid. Then dip a cloth or sponge into the solution and use it to wash your tyres clean.
Final Thoughts
Your camping trips can be pleasant if you bring the right cleaning aids with you. Make sure you always have a bottle of Zoflora handy during your trips so you can keep yourself and your family safe from harmful bacteria. Use this guide to assist you with all your cleaning needs when you go camping with your loved ones.
