Lysol Laundry Sanitizer Liquid — Detergent Additive (Crisp Linen, 90 oz)
Product description
What you get: a 90‑ounce bottle of Lysol Laundry Sanitizer liquid packaged in a leak‑resistant box with the cap secured for transport. The bottle includes a larger 100 mL measuring cap to simplify dosing for various washer types.
Formulation and fabric safety: this is a bleach‑free sanitizer (0% bleach) formulated to deodorize and sanitize without the bleaching effect. It is labeled safe for most washable fibers — from everyday cottons to delicates, undergarments and baby clothing — and is designed to preserve color and fabric hand while killing bacteria on soiled laundry.
Usage directions: for routine loads add the liquid to the fabric softener dispenser or pour into the rinse cycle to sanitize and neutralize odors left behind by detergent. For stronger microbial or viral reduction, use as a pre‑soak following the package dwell time instructions. It is compatible with standard and HE machines and with front‑ or top‑loading washers.
Performance and water temperature: effective in cold water washes, so you can sanitize without switching to hot cycles. It targets odor at the source by eliminating odor‑causing bacteria rather than simply masking smells with heavy fragrance; the finished laundry carries a light Crisp Linen scent.
Recommended uses: ideal for sports gear, sweaty workout clothing, damp towels, bedding, pet fabrics and heavily soiled work clothes that need an extra hygienic boost. It’s positioned as a complement to your regular detergent rather than a replacement.
Regulatory and lab claims: tested to kill 99.9% of Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae on laundry at 21°C. When used as a pre‑soak, studies show activity against Influenza A (H3N2), Human Coronavirus and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), and SARS‑CoV‑2 has been reported to be inactivated in five minutes in pre‑soak conditions. EPA Reg. No. 777‑128.

Cons

VerdictAn effective laundry add-in for removing odor-causing bacteria and sanitizing garments without bleach. It pairs with any detergent, works in cold washes, and is gentle on most fabrics including delicates and baby clothes. Best for sweaty sportswear, towels, bedding and heavily soiled work clothes; use as a rinse additive for routine sanitizing or as a pre-soak when viral contamination is a concern

Fresher laundry even if left overnight
We use a front‑loader with many pets; before, leaving clothes overnight gave a musty smell. Now I can forget to move a load and still avoid rewashing. I also run a washer cleaner regularly and notice a fresher result.

Alternative method works better for me
I get better odor removal by adding several capfuls at the start and letting clothes soak for an hour instead of adding it in the rinse. In my experience that eliminated strong, persistent smells.

Game-changer for persistent odors
Finally something that tackles stubborn smells on towels and workout gear. Clothes come out truly fresh rather than just perfumed, and it's simple to add to the wash.

Surprising results on stubborn issues
I was fed up with lingering odors, yellowing and deodorant buildup. This product erased pet stains and armpit yellowing I couldn’t fix before. I now add it to most loads and have seen a clear improvement.

Well packaged and reliable
Arrived intact with a measuring cap. The scent is fresh and fabrics feel unchanged. I trust this for towels and CPAP covers and will keep buying it.

Essential for pet owners and workwear
A staple for our household with a dog and heavy‑duty work clothes. Tackles pet and job site odors without harsh chemicals. Keeps my husband’s work shirts much fresher.

Keeps kid and swim gear fresh
Handles the smells from kids and swimming well. Bedding and clothing feel and smell cleaner, easy to use, and works on many fabrics. Good overall size and value.

Adds that extra layer of clean
Gives my laundry an added level of cleanliness. The scent is mild. A small amount goes far, and it complements my detergent for tougher stains and everyday items. Highly recommended.

Scent may be strong for some
Effective, but the fragrance was too intense for my preference.

Does what it promises
Sanitizes and refreshes clothing effectively. You may need to replenish the bottle regularly if you use it often.
