Here is the video with just laundry detergent: Is It Enough?? Laundry w/ Tide Pods & Drying Cloths To Remove Bacteria?? I Tested w/ Petri Dishes! th-cam.com/video/gPSyRFN3-Zo/w-d-xo.html
I'm glad you provided the link to the just laundry detergent results in this pinned comment since I was wondering about that case when watching this video. The just laundry detergent results combined with the just Lysol Laundry Sanitizer results indicate that Lysol Laundry Sanitizer works much better than laundry detergent alone for removing bacteria. The sanitizing effect of the dryer surprised me. I presume it is from the heat of the dryer. You said the dryer setting you used was the setting for towels. Is that a high heat setting? My dryer only has heat settings labelled Air, Low, Medium, and High. I usually dry my clothes on Medium heat rather than High heat because that helps reduce wrinkles and prevents inadvertent scorching. Thanks for posting these videos.
I would be interested to know if it would fair as well in the rinse cycle if you ran the load with detergent in the wash as many detergents supposedly neutralize the sanitizing properties of the Lysol, and their would likely be a fair bit of detergent left in the load when the rinse cycle runs
I love this stuff. I have two profoundly disabled daughters and two huge service dogs.this stuff takes smells away better than anything else I’ve used. Like, we have lots of feeding and elimination goo, and smells are a persistent problem. I love this stuff.
I own a boarding kennel and use this on bedding that the dogs have peed, pooped, or puked on. While I feel better about the bacteria, the scent bothers me enough that I know it bothers the dogs too so I don’t use it on bedding that wasn’t messed on. I wish there was no scent to it.
@@bigred9428 Yes, that’s the one I use, thank you. It still has a definite chemical scent to it though and I worry about the dogs’ olfactory tracts getting irritated since they are so incredibly sensitive. 😔 What I meant was that I wish there was no scent of chemicals left behind.
My son actually had bought that product first and when he started adding it to the wash cycle with laundry soap, it did an amazing thing which was removing all the nasty odors out of his clothes. I’m not sure if it disinfects and don’t really care. I’m just grateful that it actually removes odors.
I use the lysol sport sanitizer to wash my clothes just to kill germs but never knew how effective it was. Great video; glad to know i haven't been wasting my money.
Extraordinary analysis! I’ve been using Lysol Laundry Sanitizer for years, but never realized I was supposed to let it sit for 15-16 minutes. My small commercial-grade Speed Queen has even fewer settings than the machine shown here (I wanted the least-featured workhorse replacement for my 50-year-old Maytag). I was afraid your findings might show I had to relaunder every textile in my home! But I take great comfort in seeing how phenomenally the Lysol product still performs the ‘lazy’ way I’ve been using it. Too, you’ve confirmed it’s not my imagination - my dog’s muddy and bath towels really are amazingly clean and fresh after laundering with it! Thank you!
I never heard of you before this video entered my feed. After watching this entire video you have completely made my purchase for this sanitizers happen. I use public washing machines so this is so important to me. I will use it in my pre wash and again in my softener slot. If your outcomes were different I would have totally went with your opinion. You are so knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing this
Been using this for years! I'm a nurse and started using it on my scrubs right after it came out. I have a frontloader washer and have been adding it to my wash cycle. Which I always have going for a "heavier" soiled load, so it actually washes for about 25 minutes.
This confirms me using cleaning rags to clean everything and washing those separately in the wash and never washing cleaning rags with any of my other laundry. I also separate out my kitchen towels, and bathroom towels separately also. So basically there’s five categories of washing: clothing, bedding, bathroom towels, and face cloths, etc., kitchen towels, and reusable sponges, and finally cleaning rags. BTW, use the Lysol sanitizer (free and clear) in my pre-wash cup and also in my fabric softener cup, so I put it in both places when I do my laundry.
When you did it the "wrong" way without waiting doing the full recommended rinse, i was expecting so much bacteria to stay behind! These results convinced me to purchase. I don't use fabric softener anymore since learning its basically fragranced sludge. This will be a better use for that slot.
And if you use less than half the HE laundry liquid you won't have a disgusting smell with mold and mildew you will be so happy. I use a teaspoon and extra rinse. My clothes don't stink
See I don’t have a washer , I share a washer in my apartments. So I don’t have time to presoak. Thanks to this I’ll stick to just adding in my fabric softener slot. Thanks you ! Your amazing for doing this
Ugh, I hear you. My cousin is going through the same thing. He said enough already! This is enough to have him house-hunting right now. Apart from the machines being a rip-off in his building, he cannot pause the wash cycles, a true luxury when you have your own w/d set in your home.
Thank you! I really appreciate this video. This is the first time I have ever seen one of your videos. I use this Lysol Laundry Sanitizer for some of my personal loads of laundry. I volunteer at a no-kill cat shelter and bring home 5-7 loads of laundry from there every week. This is from my one day of volunteering. There is so much more laundry that is done through the entire week. You can probably just imagine the amount of bacteria that accumulates on blankets, quilts, pet beds, towels, etc.from these babies. I was very skeptical about this product, but now I feel so much better that I am using it to greatly reduce the amount of bacteria that these kitties may be subjected to. Our goal is to harbor any cat that is surrendered and we can accommodate, feed, provide a healthy life to via Veterinary visits, warmth in the winter and coolness in the summer but first of all provide so much love for these beloved sweeties! P.S. I am now a subscriber!
That last test reassured me that the way I’ve been using it was not just a placebo. 😅 I have been using it for a few years now (since the pandemic). I ALWAYS use it for my towels and washcloths, gym clothes etc., and they always come out so fresh, and feeling much cleaner than ever before. Thank you for going the extra mile and showing that it really does work!
My science fair project in 8th grade was based on how well three different laundry detergents worked to kill bacteria in clothing. I won a blue ribbon which was 1st place. You are essentially recreating my project with the product in curious about now so, thank you so much as these are the results methods I am familiar with. Couldn't be happier.
When I used public laundry this was a must and now that I have in unit washer and dryer at home I still use it for my scrubs. Glad to know it actually does something instead of just hoping it does lol
Excellent video! I very much enjoy a clip full of plain, factual information. No chirpy music, no cutsey self promotion, no long awkward pauses; just the facts, ma'am. Thank you. I can't tell you how many times I wished someone would do a petri dish test on cleaning products. I love actual science.
Whoa! The toilet rim results surprised me. Thank you for commenting on the scents of the cleaning products ... 👍 Strong scents have kept me from purchasing some cleaning products again.
I've been using this for years and always wondered if it really worked. I don't over use it, but definitely use it for bathroom and kitchen cleaning cloths. Thank you for making me feel better about this sanitizer.
I've been using Oxiclean Sanitizer since you tested it and I finally got some peace of mind thanks to you. After watching the Lysol Laundry results, I think I prefer Oxiclean. Thank you so much for your videos! I love your channel.
I also found that using the Lysol laundry sanitizer cuts out any odor that I have coming from my top loader washer. I discovered that I can wash out my kitchen sink drain with hot water and dish detergent followed by the Lysol sanitizer. I let that sit overnight and flush with hot water the next morning. It removes any drain odor that I might have.
I wouldn't suggest doing that... Your kitchen sink is for food prep. Lysol LAUNDRY Sanitizer is not food-grade. So one needs to keep home cleaning tasks separately from food preparation. Keep the laundry chemicals in a utility sink.
@@FieldOfFocus Yes, that is the version I use. I haven't used scented laundry products in decades, and now after all these years, my nose practically tries to close up like a camel's when I smell scented laundry soap/softeners!🐪😂😂 I don't have any allergies to it, just a personal preference. The Safeway in my semi-rural town in Arizona carries it, and of course Amazon has EVERYTHING, if you shop there.
I bought that product (could do without the scent). I use it as per instructions, with detergent and in the fabric softener dispenser. Glad to know that the results are valid!
Thank you so much for this! I bought this before, but I wasn’t sure if it worked. When you read the instructions I thought “oh, I’m never doing that.” So I appreciate that you tested it for lazy laundry people who want to set it and forget it. Instant like & subscribe!
I’m a mysophobe and this was so helpful. I appreciate that you took the time to create a comprehensible comparison. I use Lysol but will use it more often when I do the wash. Thanks again 🧡🧡
I have two large Sheepadoodle, although they don’t shed, like all living things they produce some smells that are not the way I want my house to smell. Washing our laundry with Lysol sanitizer has been a game changer and I love it! My cleaning and dog laundry comes out smelling and looking great. I highly recommend. Thank you for posting your test and the results. It definitely makes me feel better knowing there was a decrease in bacteria.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I've been using this product in my fabric softener dispenser without the extended rinse cycle, just as you tested in the extra step, and I am SUPER pumped to know it really does work as advertised!
I started using the stuff in 2020 right at the start of Covid. I don’t use it the same way. I actually use it in the wash cycle and I also put a cap full in the rinse cycle along with the fabric softener
The soap negates the sanitation properties. Per Lysol: What happens if you mix Lysol sanitizer with detergent? You may notice your normal detergent is not as effective if you mix with Lysol Laundry Disinfectant. These products are not meant to be used together so we do not recommend it. There are no safety concerns, but you will not have the best usage experience for both products.
This experiment tells me that you need to clean the inside of your dryer with the Lysol Laundry Sanitizer. 😂 Thanks for the video. I've used this Sanitizer ever since the pandemic. Love it.
I had to get this when my cat was at the end of his life. He was having a lot of accidents and this took the smell right out of the bath mat he would have accidents on. It has been a staple since.
I would love to see a similar test using Odo-Ban Disinfectant (original eucalyptus scent is my favorite). I have used it in my laundry for sheets and towels for years. I also use it when cleaning stubborn things in the bathroom, kitchen and even outside. I wonder if it lives up to what the packaging says.
I rehab old vacuum cleaners with cloth bags like Kirby and Hoover. Some of the bags can be quite stinky. I soak them in odo-ban in the tub overnight and they smell brand new. Mildew, nicotine, dust smell gone.
I just found your video today, 09-17-2024. Thank you for testing Lysol laundry sanitizer and sharing your results with us. It's great to hear that Lysol has always been one of the leading germ fighters from years past to present! Thanks again!
I would love to see a sample of JUST detergent and no sanitzer to see if that removes bacteria just as well or if this product really does make a big difference. Thank you!!
Yes I did that here: Is It Enough?? Laundry w/ Tide Pods & Drying Cloths To Remove Bacteria?? I Tested w/ Petri Dishes! th-cam.com/video/gPSyRFN3-Zo/w-d-xo.html
I’d love to see the comparison of with and without the sanitizer. Using just regular detergent to see if the detergent is just as effective without the sanitizer.

Thank you so much for this! I started using Lysol laundry sanitizer during COVID. I know it wouldn’t kill viruses but the awareness of germs that Covid brought up made me want to start using it. I’m so glad this product is actually working!
Thank you! I use this stuff all the time and wondered how well it really works for bacteria. I like how well it works to get the stink out my son's stinky clothes.
I love this stuff. They do have an unscented version. I love your channel. You know, i grew up using 409 as the all purpose cleaner in our home. I’d love to see this tested.
I didn't read enough to know if anybody else has mentioned this, but I am wondering how much bacteria would have been removed if you had simply put the dirty cloths in the washer and used only water, and then put them in the dryer and tested afterwards. That could be a better control, because then the only difference would be with and without sanitizer. I am wondering how much simply washing without sanitizer could possibly dilute and clean the cloths, and then how well the dryer would kill any remaining bacteria. Thanks! I appreciate all your testing. Perhaps you have tested this before and I simply haven't taken the time to find it. If so, I apologize in advance.
The first laundry test I did was same cloths with just 1 tide pod. That is here Is It Enough?? Laundry w/ Tide Pods & Drying Cloths To Remove Bacteria?? I Tested w/ Petri Dishes! th-cam.com/video/gPSyRFN3-Zo/w-d-xo.html I have not tested just a water wash because after the Tide Pod results, I felt I didn't need to. Thank you for reaching out and asking!
I would *LOVE* to see a test on disinfecting sponges - particularly testing a sponge that was run though the dishwasher with dishes. My wife does this which makes me cringe. (You could test the dishes too to see if the sponge transfers bacteria to the dishes! My view is that dishwashers are not designed for fabrics, hence washing sponges and small towels in them will not give good results!
Im so glad I found this. I like to use this as a fabric softener - not alternative - REPLACEMENT. I never get that lingering musty smell that tends to remain after getting your load out of the washer. It ends up smelling 100% clean and it did wonders for my contact dermatitis. Better than bleach to be completely honest. 😁
thank you SO MUCH for doing the /no detergent/regular rinse cycle/ experiment. that was what im most curious about!! now i can comfortably just run my machine without worrying about pausing it! we have a 2-in1 washer that washes and dries your clothes in 1 machine so i don't think i have to worry about my clothes getting bacteria from the dryer. again thank you so much for this video/experiment! YOU are a godsend!
This is fascinating. What about a comparison between using this vs just washing with detergent? I enjoyed seeing the results, but it doesn’t seem very meaningful without the comparison to a regular wash.
For anyone else having the same question, I found this video that the poster shared in a response to another comment: th-cam.com/video/gPSyRFN3-Zo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=IeUjiYCw5k2AFtgr
Wow! I hope Lysol is paying your a huge fee -- for real-world testing their products. Absolutely superb video! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! I was suprised there was any bacteria after heated drying!
The hot water helps with killing the bacteria as well. And then if soap is used, there wouldn’t be many, if any. I love using this product on my scrubs!
I use this product on my work clothes because I’m a house cleaner and I get all kinds of nastiness on me. I bet this is also great for those in the medical field! Great video!
I tried the lysol laundry detergent in the rinse cycle and found the laundry still smelled like lysol, which I was not a fan of. Then I tried putting it in the wash cycle with the laundry soap. This was much better and the wash cycle is longer than the rinse cycle anyway. After reading the labels fine print, I concluded that this is just regular lysol that has been somewhat watered down. Now i am using regular lysol cleaner (lemon scent) in the wash cycle. I use two capfulls (the small caps on the lysol cleaner bottle) for a small wash and add another capful for each size-up of wash load. Everything comes out smelling very fresh and clean. And its much, much cheaper.
Thank you for this video! I use this on all my towels, dish towels, cleaning rags, etc. I’m immune suppressed after a kidney transplant and don’t like or use bleach. This was a great video.
Thank you!! I’ve used in the wash since I first spotted it after the pandemic, but never read the instructions. I’m so glad that u took the time to do this test, and that it works! Just found your channel, and can’t wait to look through your videos. Cheers!
I wash all our backpacks after our flight. I was unsure if washing with Lysol really disinfects my clothes and im happy to see the results of your experiment worked. But i wash mine with gentle cycle with cold water. I hope it still disinfects😬
Thank you for doing this research. I have been using it since it came out. I have pets and a husband who smoked. Have never been disappointed. I get coupons from the company all the time too.
Adopted this sanitizer at start of covid and I've been happy with it. They do have an unscented version,which I prefer, but my lical shops only carry the smaller size which is more expensive per ounce than the larger size ( for both scented and unscented). Thanks for sharing these results!
So I confess, I use a HE machine and I don't time the rinse cycle or how long it's in there. I just add it to the fabric softener dispenser. I'm not very concerned with disinfecting my laundry. just removing microbes that cause odor.
Just add it to the wash cycle with what you normally put in and it will have plenty of time and it gets to work with the soap as well. This is wonderful for diapers and work clothes
Thrilled to see it actually does work! Thank you for taking the time to test it in the fabric softener dispenser. As much as I use it, I can't imagine having to use it as a presoak every time.
THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO….THANK YOU….I HAVE OFTEN WONDERED IF PURCHASING THE LYSOL DURING THE PANDEMIC AND USING IT TO THIS DAY IF IT WORKED….YOUR VIDEO PROVED IT DOES….GOD BLESS YOUR SCIENTIFIC MIND!!!! ❤
Fabulous info. I've used the Lysol one for years and love it! It smells so good and keeps any odors away too. Great to know it works so well. Thanks for sharing this !!
I use Lysol sanitizer in my fabric softener dispenser so I’m happy to see these results. Especially interesting since I hang my clothes outside to dry-I don’t have a dryer. 😊
I am so happy this video of yours popped up in my feed! I have used the Lysol laundry sanitizer with blind faith for quite some time! I use the fragrance free one so laundry smells only of my detergent. I use it both as a soak and/or as an in wash booster in the “fabric softener” slot. Hopefully it’s never discontinued!! Many thanks!!
Hello! I happened upon your channel and enjoyed your experiment. I have been on the fence about purchasing the Lysol Laundry Sanitizer; but I am convinced now and will add it to my shopping list. Thank you for sharing this info! ❤️

Exactly! Who is going to be pausing their machine during the rinse cycle? No one. Thank you for watching and for your support!
I’m a mysophobe and this was so helpful. I appreciate that you took the time to create a comprehensible comparison. I use Lysol but will use it more often when I do the wash. Thanks again 🧡🧡
I have two large Sheepadoodle, although they don’t shed, like all living things they produce some smells that are not the way I want my house to smell. Washing our laundry with Lysol sanitizer has been a game changer and I love it! My cleaning and dog laundry comes out smelling and looking great. I highly recommend.
Thank you for posting your test and the results. It definitely makes me feel better knowing there was a decrease in bacteria.
Glad it helped!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I've been using this product in my fabric softener dispenser without the extended rinse cycle, just as you tested in the extra step, and I am SUPER pumped to know it really does work as advertised!
You are very welcome! I am glad this video helped you!
I started using the stuff in 2020 right at the start of Covid. I don’t use it the same way. I actually use it in the wash cycle and I also put a cap full in the rinse cycle along with the fabric softener
The soap negates the sanitation properties. Per Lysol: What happens if you mix Lysol sanitizer with detergent?
You may notice your normal detergent is not as effective if you mix with Lysol Laundry Disinfectant. These products are not meant to be used together so we do not recommend it. There are no safety concerns, but you will not have the best usage experience for both products.
This experiment tells me that you need to clean the inside of your dryer with the Lysol Laundry Sanitizer. 😂
Thanks for the video. I've used this Sanitizer ever since the pandemic. Love it.
One of my favorite purchases. Makes laundry and machine smell good.
YES!!! Glad you like it!
Super Interesting. Thanks for the effort of doing that second step!!
I am glad I did that too. It just seemed so unreasonable to pause my washing machine! Thanks for watching!
I had to get this when my cat was at the end of his life. He was having a lot of accidents and this took the smell right out of the bath mat he would have accidents on. It has been a staple since.
I am glad you are using it and it works for you!
I would love to see a similar test using Odo-Ban Disinfectant (original eucalyptus scent is my favorite). I have used it in my laundry for sheets and towels for years. I also use it when cleaning stubborn things in the bathroom, kitchen and even outside. I wonder if it lives up to what the packaging says.

@@FieldOfFocusoh thank you!! I just found your channel and am really enjoying it. Cant wait to watch the other odoban videos👍🏻
I rehab old vacuum cleaners with cloth bags like Kirby and Hoover. Some of the bags can be quite stinky. I soak them in odo-ban in the tub overnight and they smell brand new. Mildew, nicotine, dust smell gone.
@@anderander5662 the stuff truly is great!
I'm a STEM educator and I'm showing my kiddos this!
I hope they enjoy this!!! ❤️
This is the exact video I was hoping you made. Thanks!
You are welcome! I am glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I love this stuff. The smell is awesome!!!!
I just found your video today, 09-17-2024. Thank you for testing Lysol laundry sanitizer and sharing your results with us. It's great to hear that Lysol has always been one of the leading germ fighters from years past to present! Thanks again!
Thank you for watching!
I would love to see a sample of JUST detergent and no sanitzer to see if that removes bacteria just as well or if this product really does make a big difference. Thank you!!
Yes I did that here: Is It Enough?? Laundry w/ Tide Pods & Drying Cloths To Remove Bacteria?? I Tested w/ Petri Dishes! th-cam.com/video/gPSyRFN3-Zo/w-d-xo.html
I’d love to see the comparison of with and without the sanitizer. Using just regular detergent to see if the detergent is just as effective without the sanitizer.

Thank you so much for this! I started using Lysol laundry sanitizer during COVID. I know it wouldn’t kill viruses but the awareness of germs that Covid brought up made me want to start using it. I’m so glad this product is actually working!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wowowow I’m blown. Away!! Thank you for this video!!
You’re welcome! I’m glad it was helpful!
Thank you! I use this stuff all the time and wondered how well it really works for bacteria. I like how well it works to get the stink out my son's stinky clothes.
YES! It is a great product!
I love this stuff. They do have an unscented version. I love your channel. You know, i grew up using 409 as the all purpose cleaner in our home. I’d love to see this tested.
I grew up with my mom using 409 and Fantastik! I should buy some and test it out.. on the viewer suggestion list it goes!
@@FieldOfFocus Yay!!!! Thanks you!
I was happy to see the fragrance-free version at my local Target. Some stores only carry the fragranced one.
I didn't read enough to know if anybody else has mentioned this, but I am wondering how much bacteria would have been removed if you had simply put the dirty cloths in the washer and used only water, and then put them in the dryer and tested afterwards. That could be a better control, because then the only difference would be with and without sanitizer. I am wondering how much simply washing without sanitizer could possibly dilute and clean the cloths, and then how well the dryer would kill any remaining bacteria. Thanks! I appreciate all your testing. Perhaps you have tested this before and I simply haven't taken the time to find it. If so, I apologize in advance.
The first laundry test I did was same cloths with just 1 tide pod. That is here Is It Enough?? Laundry w/ Tide Pods & Drying Cloths To Remove Bacteria?? I Tested w/ Petri Dishes! th-cam.com/video/gPSyRFN3-Zo/w-d-xo.html
I have not tested just a water wash because after the Tide Pod results, I felt I didn't need to. Thank you for reaching out and asking!
I would *LOVE* to see a test on disinfecting sponges - particularly testing a sponge that was run though the dishwasher with dishes. My wife does this which makes me cringe. (You could test the dishes too to see if the sponge transfers bacteria to the dishes! My view is that dishwashers are not designed for fabrics, hence washing sponges and small towels in them will not give good results!

Im so glad I found this. I like to use this as a fabric softener - not alternative - REPLACEMENT. I never get that lingering musty smell that tends to remain after getting your load out of the washer. It ends up smelling 100% clean and it did wonders for my contact dermatitis. Better than bleach to be completely honest. 😁
Glad it was helpful!
thank you SO MUCH for doing the /no detergent/regular rinse cycle/ experiment. that was what im most curious about!! now i can comfortably just run my machine without worrying about pausing it! we have a 2-in1 washer that washes and dries your clothes in 1 machine so i don't think i have to worry about my clothes getting bacteria from the dryer. again thank you so much for this video/experiment! YOU are a godsend!
You are very welcome! I am so happy you are enjoying my content!! Thank you for watching and commenting!
This is why I love this stuff!!
Glad you like the Lysol and thank you for watching!
Thank you for speaking my language.
I am glad you enjoyed my video! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for doing these test. I have been using this product for a few years now. I feel more confident using the sanitizer now.
Glad it was helpful!
This is fascinating. What about a comparison between using this vs just washing with detergent? I enjoyed seeing the results, but it doesn’t seem very meaningful without the comparison to a regular wash.
For anyone else having the same question, I found this video that the poster shared in a response to another comment: th-cam.com/video/gPSyRFN3-Zo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=IeUjiYCw5k2AFtgr
Glad you found the tide pod video! I hope that answered your questions!
I'm totally trying this in my carpet shampooer y'all
Interesting!
How did it go? I’m doing my carpet tomorrow. There’s a bit by my kitchen that especially needs it
I’m thinking about spraying our rugs with Force of nature weekly. I know it won’t get deep in to the fibers but just “better” is good enough for us
Wow! I hope Lysol is paying your a huge fee -- for real-world testing their products. Absolutely superb video! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! I was suprised there was any bacteria after heated drying!
Unfortunately no. I make a little from TH-cam but not much. Hoping someday it will change. I really enjoy testing products and sharing results!
The hot water helps with killing the bacteria as well. And then if soap is used, there wouldn’t be many, if any. I love using this product on my scrubs!
When I tested detergent alone.. it did not remove all of the bacteria.. it was rather disappointing.
Thank you for testing this product. I've always wondered if I am wasting my money however, I have not been using the product correctly. 😅
I am glad you enjoyed this test!! It is nice to see how well it works!
I use this product on my work clothes because I’m a house cleaner and I get all kinds of nastiness on me. I bet this is also great for those in the medical field! Great video!
YES! Good point! Glad to hear you use it!!!
I just found your channel and i love it. This video just gave me a peace of mind because i use that exact brand of sanitizer!!
I am glad you found this helpful!!!
I just saw this and I always wondered how well this worked! Thanks for doing this!
You are welcome! I love testing all sorts of products!
I bought my first bottle a couple of weeks ago. Happy to see it works.
Great to hear! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I tried the lysol laundry detergent in the rinse cycle and found the laundry still smelled like lysol, which I was not a fan of. Then I tried putting it in the wash cycle with the laundry soap. This was much better and the wash cycle is longer than the rinse cycle anyway. After reading the labels fine print, I concluded that this is just regular lysol that has been somewhat watered down. Now i am using regular lysol cleaner (lemon scent) in the wash cycle. I use two capfulls (the small caps on the lysol cleaner bottle) for a small wash and add another capful for each size-up of wash load. Everything comes out smelling very fresh and clean. And its much, much cheaper.
Like it's just lysol floor cleaner in the bottle?
@@Courtannicayeah I'm wondering the same thing
Thank you for this video! I use this on all my towels, dish towels, cleaning rags, etc. I’m immune suppressed after a kidney transplant and don’t like or use bleach. This was a great video.
You are welcome! I am glad you found this video to be helpful for you!!!!
Thank you!! I’ve used in the wash since I first spotted it after the pandemic, but never read the instructions. I’m so glad that u took the time to do this test, and that it works! Just found your channel, and can’t wait to look through your videos. Cheers!
Ohhhh this would be a good pre-soak for pillows.
oooh maybe!!! Also good reminder to wash pillows!
That's also a good reason to clean and disifect washer and dryers and better to hang cloths to dry instead of using dryer
Yes I do have videos on cleaning the washer machine and drying in the sun! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I wash all our backpacks after our flight. I was unsure if washing with Lysol really disinfects my clothes and im happy to see the results of your experiment worked. But i wash mine with gentle cycle with cold water. I hope it still disinfects😬
Good idea!!! I will have to test it in cold water.. good idea!!! Thanks!
I have been using this product for years. I am so glad to see that it was worth the cost! Thanks for doing this experiment!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for doing this research. I have been using it since it came out. I have pets and a husband who smoked. Have never been disappointed. I get coupons from the company all the time too.
You are welcome! Glad to hear you use it and like it!
How do you get the coupons? Contacted them?
This product is a must for me because I use a public machine at a laundromat to wash my clothes. I've been using it since quarantine.
YES! I agree! I would use it for sure with a public machine.
These are the videos I need!!!
Thank you for watching!
Adopted this sanitizer at start of covid and I've been happy with it. They do have an unscented version,which I prefer, but my lical shops only carry the smaller size which is more expensive per ounce than the larger size ( for both scented and unscented).
Thanks for sharing these results!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
It’s fantastic to dilute and wash the floor with
Thanks for sharing!
So I confess, I use a HE machine and I don't time the rinse cycle or how long it's in there. I just add it to the fabric softener dispenser. I'm not very concerned with disinfecting my laundry. just removing microbes that cause odor.
I figured most people would not be able to time it, that is why I tested it the second way as well. Thanks for watching!
Just add it to the wash cycle with what you normally put in and it will have plenty of time and it gets to work with the soap as well. This is wonderful for diapers and work clothes
That's what I do
Thrilled to see it actually does work! Thank you for taking the time to test it in the fabric softener dispenser. As much as I use it, I can't imagine having to use it as a presoak every time.
You are welcome! I agree, using it as a presoak wouldn't work for me either. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for testing this!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Very interesting! Thanks for doing all this work!!
You are welcome! Thank you for watching!!!
Well I don't have time for all that. Thanks for helping me save money!
The quality of content is unmatched!

I have similarities to "Monk" 😅, so you have a new subie. This was so helpful, thank you!
I am glad you find my videos helpful!!!! Thanks for watching!
THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO….THANK YOU….I HAVE OFTEN WONDERED IF PURCHASING THE LYSOL DURING THE PANDEMIC AND USING IT TO THIS DAY IF IT WORKED….YOUR VIDEO PROVED IT DOES….GOD BLESS YOUR SCIENTIFIC MIND!!!! ❤
Thank you so much for watching!
Fabulous info. I've used the Lysol one for years and love it! It smells so good and keeps any odors away too. Great to know it works so well. Thanks for sharing this !!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!!!
Wooohoooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND SEND IT TO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!!!
ooh thank you so much for your support, I truly appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I use this with my laundry detergent in the wash cycle all the time and love it!
Good to know!
I use Lysol sanitizer in my fabric softener dispenser so I’m happy to see these results. Especially interesting since I hang my clothes outside to dry-I don’t have a dryer. 😊
YES! That is great! Glad this video helped you!
Thank you for this video! I use this in every single load.
Thank you for watching!
I am so happy this video of yours popped up in my feed! I have used the Lysol laundry sanitizer with blind faith for quite some time! I use the fragrance free one so laundry smells only of my detergent. I use it both as a soak and/or as an in wash booster in the “fabric softener” slot. Hopefully it’s never discontinued!! Many thanks!!
You are so welcome! Thank you for sharing!!
Hello! I happened upon your channel and enjoyed your experiment. I have been on the fence about purchasing the Lysol Laundry Sanitizer; but I am convinced now and will add it to my shopping list. Thank you for sharing this info! ❤️
I am so glad my video was able to help you!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
