Q: Why do we need to sanitize everything?
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.
submitted byTxrunaway - 6 years agoA: 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.
submitted byNadia - 4 years agoA: 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.
submitted byBK - 7 years agoA: 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
submitted bykatiep1200 - 7 years agoA: This product is perfect for people who purchase clothing at thrift shops, yard sales, second-hand stores, etc.
submitted bySoupyjune - 7 years agoA: 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.

Q: How do I use it there are no instructions on bottle, do I add to the detergent or the rinse cycle
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.
submitted byRAR - 5 years agoA: Rinse cyle go to lysol for instruction.
submitted byMOM0307 - 8 years agoA: 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.
submitted bydmae712 - 8 years agoA: 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!)
submitted bykatiep1200 - 7 years agoA: This is my second bottle and I add a capful into the wash with detergent.

Q: Will this kill the bacteria that causes athletes foot and toe fungus? I have googled and can only see information about COVID on the bottle and website

Q: i dont have a place for an additive for rinse cycle. cant believe it. my lid locks. should i soak 15 min in washer before washing?
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.
submitted byLysol Team - 2 years agoBrand expertA: 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.
submitted byJill - 5 months agoA: 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

Q: I am concerned about chemical residue in my clothing since it releases during the rinse cycle. Will it work as well if I “pre-wash” my clothes with only Lysol sanitizer and then run regular wash cycle with only laundry detergent?
A: Actually, on the instructions it does say you can use it as a pre soak treatment for 16 minutes. After that you wash like you normally would. I pre soak and add it to the fabric softener slot too.
submitted byFoxychica4345 - 10 months agoA: It is advised to use this product in the rinse cycle or to place it in the fabric softener compartment of your machine. Always use the proper dosage instructions as indicated on the label, based on the size of the load prior to using this product. The product does wash off fabric during the cycle.

A: If you overuse this product or other sanitizing products that are going down your drain they could negatively affect the good bacteria need to treat your wastewater in your septic system.
submitted bySara Heger - 5 years agoA: When used as directed on the product label, Lysol Laundry Sanitizer is appropriate for use with septic systems.

Q: I have a puppy in the hospital with Parvo. I have to sanitize everything she came into contact with. Will this help?
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.
submitted bySparkleGirl - 6 years agoA: Lysol® Laundry Sanitizer kills 99.9% of bacteria like Staphylococcus Aureus & Klebsiella pneumoniae. Lysol® products have not been proven effective against Parvovirus.

Q: So since you have to add it to the rinse cycle and have to put it in the fabric softener compartment is it OK to mix it with the fabric softener?
A: No, you should not mix it. Skip fabric softener when using Lysol Crisp Linen Scented Laundry Sanitizer.
submitted byvavo - 7 years agoA: Yes that's fine.......

Q: How smelly is it? I prefer unscented...
A: It's not the worse smell but trust me your clothes will come out smelling fresh and clean. Someone said to add it to the rinse cycle or Fabric softner cycle but I use mine with detergent and detergent booster .
submitted byKimmeeT - 8 years agoA: They now make an unscented variety. This isn't it.
