Is your garden area as clean and fresh as your home?

Whilst most people are on top of cleaning in their homes, the areas outside can be easily forgotten, especially your balcony, garden or porch areas. To help you out, here are some tips from the experts at Zoflora, UK’s number one disinfectant brand now available in the UAE on how to turn your outdoors into a sweet-smelling summer paradise.

Freshen up your patio

Scrubbing down your patio areas sounds like hard graft, but with a hand from Zoflora, it’s never been easier. Zoflora will not only help you bring some life into your patio by killing 99.9% viruses and bacteria, but also fill the space with a  beautiful fragrance. Just dilute your chosen fragrance of Zoflora disinfectant in a bucket of water and pour the solution over your patio. Then use a hard-bristle yard brush to scrub the surface, rinse with water and that’s it! We love Zoflora’s Bluebell Woods or Springtime fragrances to give your balcony/ garden a fresh, floral aroma.

Pull out all your outdoor furniture

Outdoor tables, chairs and garden furniture don’t just accumulate visible weather debris and dirt through regular use – they can also become breeding grounds for bacteria brought by visiting birds and insects. So, the next step is to pull out all your outdoor furniture and get rid of all those cobwebs. Simply use a cloth, which has been soaked in diluted Zoflora disinfectant to wipe away any grime or dirt.

Don’t ignore the drains and bins

Your waste pipe outlet and drain can also start to kick up a stink in the lawn – don’t let it, especially if you’re having guests over! Zoflora’s impactful 3-in-1 action formula not only kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses that can cause illnesses and bad odours, but also has a beautiful long-lasting fragrance to stop garden odours from scaring away your guests. Simply pour 2 capfuls of neat Zoflora disinfectant straight down the drain to eliminate any lingering odours as well as fill your garden with a burst of fragrance.

Clean your children’s apparatus thoroughly

Zoflora can be utilized through a range of different cleaning methods including spraying, mopping, wiping to keep your kid’s play equipment’s safe and shielded from germs especially during the summer months. Just dilute 4 capfuls of your choice of Zoflora fragrance (our favourite for this task is Zoflora Linen fresh!) in a bucket containing 1.6L of warm water and soak a cloth in the solution to wipe down all play apparatus surfaces, killing harmful bacteria and adding a fresh smell. Always remember to leave the items you have wiped down to completely dry before allowing children back to play. 

Transform your garden into a floral getaway

Want to feel like you’re on a holiday without being on one? Just spray diluted Zoflora over all of your outdoor furniture, allowing a contact time of 5 minutes to disinfect the surfaces (We recommend using a fruity fragrance, such as Zoflora Lemon Zing) to really transport you to a tropical paradise!

Fake it till you make it

Lastly, if you don’t have the time to look after live plants in your garden and prefer keeping artificial plants to decorate, you can easily freshen up your garden by using spraying Zoflora’s fragrances over them to make them smell almost real-like! Try Zoflora’s Bouquet or Rose Noir fragrance for this.
