Lysol Crisp Linen Scented Laundry Sanitizer - 41 fl oz

A: Because some of us have jobs where our clothes get gross stuff on them and if they're not washed with sanitizer(can't use bleach,have black uniform) they start to stink horribly

A: Nobody said "we need to sanitize everything." Some people need to sanitize some things. For example, I have cloth bedding for my guinea pigs. I can wash it on hot, but it still doesn't come out smelling fresh. I don't "need to sanitize everything", but to avoid bad smells & bacteria from guinea pig bedding, It behooves me to sanitize it.

A: If you go to the details under this product on the Target website and hit see more. All the full directions on how to use and more are there.

A: No one is forcing you to purchase. They came out with the product because of people like you who don't feel the need to be clean.

A: Is this septic safe?

A: This product is perfect for people who purchase clothing at thrift shops, yard sales, second-hand stores, etc.

A: I know this question is two years old, but I'm pretty sure they're wanting this now. People sanitize things for various reasons; where they work, where they bought the clothes, just to be clean.

A: Rinse cyle go to lysol for instruction.

A: Open the back sticker for recommended dosing. It says to add to the rinse cycle and let it soak for at least 20+ minutes (I have top loading old machine, I just reopen once it adds water for the rinse and add the sanitizer, leaving it open for 20 minutes, then close it to drain). Most washers should have a pause/delay feature that doesn't force an immediate drain, if it doesn't let you specify a longer period you may need to remain nearby to select it multiple times. Not all laundry needs this level of sanitizing, high water temps and high dryer setting for certain things like towels is fine. I only use on clothes that I've worn in public during this pandemic, before that it was only my work uniform.

A: This is my second bottle and I add a capful into the wash with detergent.

A: There are instructions on the back. It's one of those labels that you have to peel the sticker and you'll see the instructions. Basically, pour 2 capfuls (line one) in the rinse cycle or pour it in the softener thingy. You have option to soak for 15 min. Also, if you have HE washer, i think it says pour 1 capful - not sure on that.

A: I read on the Lysol website that it needs to soak in just water for at least 15 minutes to properly sanitize the clothing...it said not to mix with detergent or softener or it will deactivate the sanitizer...i just soak first with sanitizer then add detergent and start cycle..(I work in a lichen, pant bottoms get GROSS!)

A: You might try Hibiclens for your feet. Also, original Listerine. Not in the laundry but for your feet.

A: I know they make fabric softener balls that you can use to dispense fabric softener at the right time. In theory it could maybe work for this product too to dispense later in the washing cycle.

A: Yes, you can. I soak my clothes with it for probably over 16 minutes. After that I wash with detergent and also add it to the fabric softener component. Yours must be an older washing machine

A: If you don't have a fabric softener compartment or a way to add the product directly to the rinse cycle, unfortunately you won't be able to use this product.

A: Lysol® Laundry Sanitizer kills 99.9% of bacteria like Staphylococcus Aureus & Klebsiella pneumoniae. Lysol® products have not been proven effective against Parvovirus.

A: You should consult with a reputable vet about how to best kill Parvo. From experience I can tell you that it's not easy to kill & bleach is usually involved. As this product does not contain bleach I'm doubtful it would be effective. You can always call the number on the bottle to be 100% sure.
