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 - 10 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 - 2 years 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 - 6 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 - 6 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: I add it in addition to the regular laundry soap.

    submitted bylilagage - 6 years ago
  • 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 - 6 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 - 2 years 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 - 2 years 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 - 4 years ago
  • 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 - 4 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.

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

submitted by Patty - 7 months ago

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: 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 - 9 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 - 9 months ago
  • A: Thank you for reaching out to us. No, the Lysol Laundry Sanitizer Free & Clear is a sanitizer and is used in rinse cycle. Detergent should still be used. We hope that this information helps! Sincerely, Your Lysol Team.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm loving the Lysol Free & Clear Laundry Sanitizer. My partner's outdoor work often leaves his clothes with pretty intense odors, but this product works wonders in eliminating those tough smells without leaving behind any overpowering fragrance of its own. I also appreciate using it with our towels, as it ensures a cleanliness that gives me peace of mind. The fact that it's free of harsh chemicals or strong scents is a huge plus for my family's sensitive skin and personal preferences. I'd highly recommend the Lysol Free & Clear Laundry Sanitizer to anyone seeking a odor-neutralizing, and a more skin-friendly solution for their laundry needs. This product was gifted in exchange for my honest review. @influenster #complimentary @lysol #Lysol

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sometimes you have stinky laundry. It just happens. For us, it's our dog's blankies. Regular washing doesn't always get that puppy funk out of them. This little bottle of Lysol Laundry Sanitizer has helped reduce the scent of dog odor still evident after her snuggle blankets come out of the wash.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is great to add to your laundry routine if you want to kill bacteria. I travel a lot so this is useful for me. The packing for shipment did have leakage which is why you can see the label is fading. It’s easy to use and unscented.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product in place of the active sanitizer for awhile to see any difference. They both work well but…the active is still better for workwear items which is important in our household. I think this would be a good baby product for disinfecting purposes. It does not have any scent as well.
