Q: can i put fabric softener in the dispenser with this product? |

submitted by Belle - 5 years ago
  • A: I usually add it directly to the wash water and put the fabric softener in the dispenser. Hope this helps

    submitted byBarbyLo - 5 years ago
  • A: I put in fabric softener with this directly into the same dispenser :) I’ve never had any issues! I normally put in the odor remover first then the fabric softener and it’ll wash it all down

  • A: I usually add it directly to the wash water and put the fabric softener in the dispenser

    submitted byBarbyLo - 5 years ago
  • A: I will usually just run another rinse cycle after with just the fabric softener.

    submitted byraytaylor1459 - 4 years ago
  • A: Curiously I don't see any instruction of the two being together at the same time in the dispenser. Call Clorox at 800-292-2200.

    submitted byAnon - 5 years ago
  • A: NO, according to the manufacturer, Chlorox, YOU CANNOT. To be effective, it must be put in the rinse cycle, ALONE, with no other additives, either by opening the washer and adding it by hand at the start of the rinse cycle, or by putting it in the fabric softener dispenser, by itself, so it will automatically release during the washer's rinse cycle. For all of you who fail to correctly follow the manufacturer's instructions for sanitization, and then even pass your own incorrect instructions to others, you are not sanitizing your wash. You are just fooling yourselves into thinking you have sanitized your laundry. It does not work in the wash cycle!!! Adding it to the wash cycle does not sanitize your clothes. The wash cycle water dilutes the product to the point that it is no longer effective. You might as well just pour it down the drain. If this product worked in the wash cycle, then the instructions would have stated that it is okay to add it to the wash cycle. It only sanitizes in the RINSE cycle, when added by itself with nothing else, where it remains less diluted and therefore still effective at killing germs. Everyone who advises to put in the wash cycle should be ignored. They don't have a clue what they are doing. Their laundry is NOT disinfected and they are just pouring the money they paid for this product right down the drain.

Q: Is this product effective for cleaning and sanitizing towels and rags that were exposed to raw sewage when my basement drain backed up? Thank you?

submitted by Fuzzy Sock Fan - 3 months ago
  • A: Thanks for your interest in our Laundry Sanitizer. While it's not a cleaner, our Fabric Sanitizer kills 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria that can make clothes and home textiles smell bad. It's perfect for helping remove unpleasant odors, not just covering them up. We hope this helps. Shannon from The Clorox Team

Q: Does this product eliminate pet urine smells from fabrics?

submitted by Jeremy - 2 years ago
  • A: Thanks for checking with us, Jeremy! Our Laundry Sanitizer works well to eliminate pet odors by killing 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria in your laundry. If the fabric isn't washable, we recommend our Urine Remover, which breaks down urine to eliminate odors from hard and soft surfaces. If you have additional questions, please call us at 800-292-2200 and mention reference number 230620-000072. We hope this was helpful! Ashlee from The Clorox Team

Q: Does it kill mold and mildew in clothes that have accidently been sitting in bins in rain water outdoors?

submitted by Anonymous - 10 months ago
  • A: Thank you for reaching out, and we're glad to assist you.

Q: How can this be added to the rinse cycle in a front loader? A prior response indicates putting in the fabric softener dispenser will only remove odors from, but not sanitize, fabric. Want to sanitize.

submitted by Anon - 3 years ago

To sanitize clothing using our Laundry Sanitizer in your high-efficiency front load washing machine, add 3.3 fluid ounces to the fabric softener compartment or directly to your rinse cycle wash. The product should be left in the rinse cycle for 16 minutes. If you have additional questions, please call us at 800-292-2200 and mention reference number 221003-000620. Have a wonderful day!

This stuff is amazing! Gets rid of odos witha single use. You just add it to the fabric softener tray and it's that simple, but if you have more soiled clothes you want to put a capful directly in the wash and let the clothes soak for 20-30 minutes. I would highly recommend you give it a try.

Evie - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
My cats are allergic to it. My cats like to lay in the laundry hamper and they started scratching themselves and having raised bumps on their skin. They have skin dermatitis. I realized this was the cause when my cat was sneezing and scratching uncontrollably while on top of laundry. I had bought it 3 times in the last few weeks and it made sense for when the symptoms on the cats started.

I love this stuff!! I initially bought it to sanitize and freshen up fabrics I'm unable to put in the washing machine. Then one day I realized it's also an excellent stain remover. I love that it's multi use. I can use it on carpet stains without it ruining the color. I can use it on my clothes that I get stains on. It's truly a great product.

I made a mistake of ordering this one. We usually use unscented/free & clear laundry detergent and this is like a "fresh scent" laundry smell.... I just tested it on our linen napkins/placemats and the smell is SO strong, I've run the washer on rinse cycle two times and the smell is so overwhelming.

Shannon - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
I use this sanitizer in every load I wash. I initially started using it to sanitize/wash my scrubs in 2020 d/t covid. One day I found a load of good new bath towels that I forgot about in the washer for a few days. They had that gross mildew smell and I thought they were ruined forever. I figured I’d try it when I saw it sitting there, and I found out that this sanitizer REMOVES that smell. I didn’t think anything less than bleach could do that and these were colored plush towels. It’s also didn’t ruin the integrity of the towels at all. I’ve been using in every load ever since. Maybe all sanitizers could remove the smell. I’ve never tried another brand.
