Cleaning fans have long loved Zoflora’s concentrated disinfectants, recently made popular by Mrs Hinch and other cleaning influencers, which are designed to be diluted at home and available in an array of seasonal scents.
Can you put Zoflora in a Shark steam mop?
We are often asked “Can you put Zoflora in a steam mop?” The answer is no. You should only ever use tap water or distilled water in your Shark steam mop – don’t add any detergent or other cleaning solution. This would void your guarantee and could stop your steam mop from working properly.
What’s more, there’s no need to add cleaning products as Shark steam mops sanitise up to 99.9% of common household bacteria* using water alone!
However, there are plenty of other clever ways to use Zoflora in your cleaning routine…
