It’s best to take extra precautionary measures when using any kind of cleaning detergent. Disinfectants are made with chemicals and other ingredients that are responsible for killing bacteria. So does your Zoflora contain chemicals? If so, how can you safely use Zoflora?
Well, Zoflora has natural plant extract inside the formula and the active ingredient for the detergent is Benzalkonium Chloride. Most disinfectants and antimicrobial preservatives for pharmaceuticals use Benzalkonium Chloride.
Although the product has natural ingredients inside the concentrate it also has chemicals in it. Therefore you must handle the concentrate with care. In today’s article, we are going to discuss how you can safely use Zoflora.
Use Safety Gloves When Diluting Zoflora
Zoflora contains chemicals in the concentrate that may cause skin irritation. So before you dilute your Zoflora consider wearing rubber gloves. Your gloves will protect your hands from the chemicals if some of the concentrate spills out of the bottle.
When Diluting Zoflora Consider Goggles
The Zoflora developers state that the concentrate (before dilution) can cause eye irritation. Therefore it’s best to wear safety goggles when mixing your ratios of Zoflora. On the other hand, you don’t have to wear eye protectors if you’re spraying your diluted Zoflora around the house.
If you do get neat Zoflora in your eyes rinse them immediately with water for 10 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately if burning or itching persists.
Zoflora is Flammable
Zoflora contains ethanol and methanol which is a flammable liquid under category 2. This means that the vapours and liquid forms of Zoflora have a flashpoint below 23°C & a boiling point of 35°C. Therefore it’s a combustible liquid.
On the Zoflora safety sheet, it also states that you shouldn’t use the product on or near electrical appliances. If there’s a short in your wiring it can cause a spark and potentially ignite a flame where you’ve spilled Zoflora concentrate.
Simply use water, a fire extinguisher or carbon dioxide to extinguish a fire if you’ve accidentally caused one using Zoflora. When you dilute Zoflora it may decrease the flammability rating but always be cautious when using the product near a fire.
Don’t Mix Zoflora with Other Detergents
There are some detergents on the market that you can’t mix with other cleaning aids because it can cause a reaction. Zoflora can’t be mixed with bleach or bicarbonate of soda. The chemicals inside Zoflora may create a hazardous gas when mixed with other types of detergent.

Keep Away from Children
Since Zoflora has chemicals in it and it’s not safe to use near fire or electrical appliances it would be unwise to keep it in reach of children. Some children may not know how to safely use Zoflora and this can cause harm to them.
Store your bottle of Zoflora on a shelf that’s high enough where children can’t reach it. Additionally, you can inform your children not to use Zoflora without an adult present. Don’t allow children to dilute the concentrate themselves because they may spill the contents.
Can You Use Zoflora Inside Your Iron or Steamer?
Don’t use Zoflora in electrical appliances such as steamers, irons or even vacuum cleaners. However, you can use some of the Zoflora concentrate to wash your linen. The Zoflora Linen fresh fragrance is perfect to add that fresh scent to your washing.
