Description

Our clothes are in constant contact with bacteria throughout our day-to-day activities, for example through contact with contaminated surfaces, other people and our own bodies. Bacteria can spread from one fabric to another in the laundry basket, from the washing-machine drum to the next load. Some of these bacteria can survive following the wash cycle. When it comes to certain laundry loads such as children's clothes or sportswear, you want to eliminate bacteria that may cause illnesses and create lingering bad smells. But detergents alone don't actually kill all bacteria. Introducing Lysol Laundry Sanitizer, an additive specially designed to kill 99.9% of bacteria in laundry*. Simply add Lysol Laundry Sanitizer to your rinse cycle. It does not contain any chlorine bleach and even works in cold water so is safe to use on most fabrics including whites, colors and darks. EPA #777-128.

Q: I watched my laundry cycle. My rinse cycle is only 13 minutes. So according to Lysol my clothes are not sanitized. If I pause the load the water will eventually start to drain. Any suggestions?

submitted by Anonymous - 1 year ago
  • A: A gallon of water. How many capfuls do I need? It’s towels in a washing machine. More than a gallon of water. Apparently it requires the entire bottle of Lysol

    submitted byAnonymous - 1 year ago
  • A: Why not use peroxide instead it seems like such a hassle

    submitted byGlass measuring cups - 7 months ago
  • A: Thank you for reaching out! We suggest you to follow the Pre-Soak Disinfection Directions: Pour two capfuls each filled to line 1 into 1 gallon of cold water. Submerge completely and soak items for 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with clean water or machine wash as directed. We hope that this information helps! Sincerely, Your Lysol Team.

Q: How often should I use this? Every other week or once a month?

submitted by Adrian - 1 year ago
  • A: Thank you for reaching out. This product is safe to use in the rinse cycle every wash. We hope this helps!

    submitted byLysol Team - 1 year ago
    Brand expert
  • A: The instructions I read said to wash often based on how soiled items are or if in contact with ill person. Says once a week or so is good enough for daily items. Every wash is also ok.

  • A: I am so frustrated it is sold out everywhere! I use it for odors, my guess is everyone has decided it will help with Covid-19, they are wrong.

    submitted byJhamrick - 5 years ago

Q: do you use this with your regular detergent or by itself

submitted by jo - 5 years ago
  • A: I add it in addition to the regular laundry soap.

    submitted bylilagage - 5 years ago
  • A: Lysol Laundry Sanitizer should be used in conjunction with laundry detergent. Wash cycle additives such as stain remover can also be used. Lysol Laundry Sanitizer is formulated to be used in the rinse cycle without additional additives, such as fabric softener. Lysol Laundry Sanitizer provides a limited softening effect.

    submitted byLysol Team - 5 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: That is the wrong way, you are wasting money. It is only effective in the rinse cycle and must be in the rinse cycle for 16 minutes. Those are the detailed directions.

    submitted byWendy - 5 years ago

Q: Do I STOP the rinse cyle with clothes submerged in water, put it in and let clothes soak for 16 minutes and push start on the cycle once the 16 minutes is up? OR, just put it in and let it be?

submitted by Adrian - 1 year ago
  • A: Thank you for reaching out. This product is formulated to be add to rinse cycle and leave product in rinse cycle for 16 minutes.

    submitted byLysol Team - 1 year ago
    Brand expert
  • A: Based on what I read (I haven't used this product yet) you can do the first option you mentioned or put it in the fabric softener compartment. You can also add it in to soak for 16 min before washing.

    submitted byEB - 1 year ago

Q: Would this product be effective if I added it to the drum of the washer by itself, agitated, then stopped and let it soak, then let it rinse. Then did a SECOND wash with detergent alone?

submitted by Kata - 3 years ago
  • A: It is best to follow the usage instructions for the best results. Allow for clothes to be washed by your detergent first, then add Lysol Laundry Sanitizer directly to the rinse cycle. You can let it soak for 15 minutes.

    submitted byLysol Team - 3 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: Please someone explain why it must be in the rinse cycle? What is the science behind this? Same could be accomplished by method described above--just soak over 16 minutes alone before or after rinse

    submitted byKata - 3 years ago

Q: When adding this to the wash, does it also sanitize or disinfect the washing machine?

submitted by Patty - 3 months ago
  • A: Thank you for reaching out to us. Our Lysol Laundry Sanitizer Free & Clear kills 99.9% of bacteria that laundry detergents leave behind. It does not contain fragrance, dye and chlorine. Gentle on most fabrics including whites and colors. It is not designed to sanitize and disinfect the washing machine. We hope this information helps! Sincerely, Lysol Team.

Q: What is the expiration date on the product

submitted by Ale - 4 months ago

Q: How do I add it to the rinse cycle? My building has big commercial washers. I don't think it says which cycle it's in, and I don't think I can stop it once it's started.

submitted by L - 5 months ago
  • A: Thank you for reaching out to us. The Lysol® Laundry Sanitizer - Free & Clear is intended to be used on the rinse cycle. If the rinse cycle option is not available a Pre-Soak Disinfection can be used. Just pour two capfuls each filled to line 1 into 1 gallon of cold water. Submerge completely and soak items for 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with clean water or machine wash as directed. We hope that this information helps! Sincerely, Your Lysol Team.

Q: Is this effective to clean and sanitize towls and rags that were exposed to quite a bit of raw sewage when my basement drain backed up? Thank you.

submitted by Fuzzy Sock Fan - 6 months ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was not my favorite product. The lid doesn’t tighten all the way so it’s messy and leaks, the instructions are difficult and there are too many steps. Didn’t love the scent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom, keeping my family’s laundry truly clean is a top priority — especially with kids constantly getting into messes. I love that Lysol Free & Clear Laundry Sanitizer is free from dyes and fragrances while still eliminating 99.9% of bacteria. It gives me so much peace of mind, especially for items like gym clothes, towels, and bedding. It doesn’t leave any strong smell, which is perfect for my little one’s sensitive skin. I add it to every load now — it’s officially a laundry essential in our home. Highly recommend to any parent or anyone wanting that extra level of clean without harsh ingredients!

It really comes in handy when you have kids that make messes and get sick. My only critique would be that I wish the bottle was larger, making a better value for the money spent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of my absolute favorite laundry products. It’s wonderful to help kill germs and freshen clothes back up from work or just playing hard. The packaging is easy to use but protective enough kids can’t get into it. It has a slight scent but not overwhelming. I add it in with my laundry detergent and my scent beads and it does really well!

Laundry feels and smells clean and I have peace of mind that I have sanitized the laundry thoroughly. I prefer the unscented version over the scented because the scented one has dyes, so the unscented is great for sensitive skin.

Hard to use properly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have wanted to try laundry sanitizer for a while, so I was very excited to receive some to try. I was hopeful that it would help get the funk out of clothing like polyester or to clean things that seemed extra gross. I was disappointed by the directions as the amount that it says to use does not fit into my fabric softener tray. While I could add this to the run cycle, I don’t like the idea of having to stop my load midway to add an additional product to the washing machine . I think for specific tasks using it with a rinse only cycle would make sense. I do think this product works well, I just wish the product was more concentrated so that I didn’t have to add such a high volume, but that might make it caustic for the user. If I worked in the medical field, or had toddlers throwing up on me often, I think this would be a really useful product. But, outside of the occasional use case (like sanitizing thrift finds) I won’t be adding it to my laundry routine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laundry sanitizer worked well and was not overly aggressive or skin irritating. I was concerned at first because the liquid has a strong smell, but once added to the wash, you can’t tell the difference. I have been using it for things that could use some extra cleaning and it has been great. It’s concentrated so the small container will go a long way.
