Zoflora addict who asked to mop as a child has 300 bottles in her cupboard

A Zoflora addict who has been using the cleaning brand for almost 40 years has revealed she has more than 300 bottles in her cupboard.

Rachel Laithwaite, 52, has been an addict since getting a job in a chip shop aged 13 and says she associates the smell of Zoflora with her grandmother.

Rachel loves it much she leaves her sink half-full of Zoflora in the morning so she can return home to the smell in the evening. She said: “I got a Saturday job in a local fish and chip shop helping to wash and clean up.

"When I walked in, I smelt the fragrance of Zoflora and immediately fell in love with it – I even asked to become the designated floor mopper just so I could use the Zoflora products every day.”

Rachel added: “During Covid I must have got through gallons and gallons. Any surface, I would use Zoflora on it. I use it for literally everything, cleaning the fridge, the bins, the sinks – everything.”

One of Rachel’s favourite hacks is to fill the sink with diluted Zoflora in the morning just before she leaves for work and then when she returns home, she’s greeted with fragrance. She also adds in cloths and sponges to soak, to regularly disinfect and refresh her cleaning items.

Rachel said: “Whenever there is a new launch, my husband can never find me as without fail, I’ll be out at my local Home Bargains or B&M trying to get my hands on the new product. When they launched the Multipurpose Disinfectant Cleaner, I bought it in every single fragrance.”

Rachel added: “I instantly feel uplifted by the fragrance Zoflora delivers. My grandma used Zoflora so the aroma brings out feelings of nostalgia and comfort, as well as cleanliness. In one word, using Zoflora makes me happy.”

Rachel said: “I don’t just use the product for cleaning purposes, but I am a self-confessed Zoflora collector –gathering and using Zoflora is my hobby over anything, and I now have over 300 bottles in my cleaning stash.”
