Right, in the interest in a balanced discussion, and given there's downtime right now, and rightly so now the baby is here, I thought I'd try out some of Mrs Hinch's cleaning advice, here is my experience so far -
1. I have a minkeh and a pinkeh, these are cleaning cloths for the newbies and not something I need to go to the GP about
, anyway, I thought I'd try soaking them overnight in diluted zoflora to see what happens. Firstly, the amazing smell that is always mentioned, yes it smells, but I suppose if its amazing or not depends on if chemically created scents are your bag. I found it a bit overwhelming, despite it being diluted. The other thing I found, was after doing this for a few nights, both cloths started to feel slimey, even after being rinsed through. The pinkeh started to disintegrate!! It's now in the bin.
2. I have bought a bottle of Lenor spring awakenings, I usually go for whatever is on offer, sometimes own brand, Comfort, Fairy etc. The Lenor is very strong and it does seem to linger on bedsheets longer than some of the others, but it is a very strong scent, I'm not asthmatic so would be interested to know if that strength of smell does cause breathing issues for those with asthma.
Anyway, thats my experience, not sure I'll buy Lenor regularly, if I use it again will cut down on how much I put in, probably just do half recommended amount.
