The fact that viruses can live on surfaces like doorknobs and phones isn’t a big secret — but some people are unaware that similar germs can actually live in your laundry. According to the World Health Organization, the coronavirus can "persist on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days," which includes clothing and linens. Show I was raised by a mother who taught me the basics of household chores, and I learned that bleach had strong germ-killing properties, especially when it comes to laundry. However, most of my clothing falls into the "colors and darks" category meaning that bleach can't be used. Instead of killing germs with bleach, one of my family members recommended using the Lysol Laundry Sanitizer — and I haven't done a load of laundry without it since. Lysol Laundry Sanitizer The Lysol Laundry Sanitizer isn't a detergent. It's an additive that's specially formulated to kill germs on your clothes and in your laundry machine. Typically, you would have to use very hot water to get rid of potentially harmful contaminants, but the Lysol Laundry Sanitizer can kill bacteria even when you run a cold cycle. The formula has a fresh smell, so I initially started using it to get rid of odors in my clothing and towels. What I didn't realize is that the sanitizer actually disinfects my load instead of covering up the underlying smell. When laundry day arrives, I throw my clothes into the washing machine. After adding a capful of regular laundry detergent, I add two capfuls of the Lysol Laundry Sanitizer into the fabric softener compartment. Then, I run the load as I usually would and let the load sit for an extra 16 minutes to ensure that the sanitizer will actually kill germs. The formula comes in two versions — "Free and Clear" which is fragrance-free and "Crisp Linen" which has a fresh scent. I prefer the "Crisp Linen," but no matter what you prefer, both options are dye-free, chlorine bleach-free and gentile on fabrics. One of the best things I've noticed about the Lysol Laundry Sanitizer is that a little goes a long way. Filling one cap is enough for a large load of laundry, but I find that even half a cap leaves my clothes feeling clean and smelling fresh. This makes incorporating it into my routine much more budget-friendly since I go through a bottle in less time than I go through a bottle of detergent. It's always important to wash your clothes to rid of contaminants — but now more than ever, you'll want to make sure your towels, sheets, shirts and more are feeling completely fresh and clean!

I was hoping someone could help me out with step-by-step instructions on how to use Lysol Laundry Sanitizer. As per the instructions, I understand to put it into the fabric softener compartment but it says to ‘Leave in rinse cycle for 16 minutes.’ How do I do that? I’ve looked it up online and there’s so specifications on how to use it. Also, I use Tide+Downy and the instructions specifically say not to use fabric softener. So should I use only laundry detergent when I use the LLS? Common sense tells me ‘yes’ but I’d appreciate some insight. I have a front loader LG washing machine. (WM2455HG) I’m sure my question may seem pretty naive and like I’ve never done laundry but the ‘Leave in rinse cycle for 16 minutes’ is really stumping me for some reason. I’ve just done basic laundry for yrs and this is new to me. TIA for any help. 😊 Can you use fabric softener and Lysol Laundry Sanitizer together?Can you use lysol laundry sanitizer with fabric softener? No. Don't do that since you are putting Lysol Laundry Sanitizer into the fabric softener compartment.
Can you mix laundry detergent with fabric softener?Detergent and softener are like water and oil – they do not mix. The chemical reaction between the two would render one of them useless.
How do you use Lysol Laundry Sanitizer without a dispenser?If your washer does not have a dedicated compartment for fabric softener, you may pour the disinfectant solution directly into the tub during the rinse cycle. To get the best results, always add to rinse cycle and leave product in rinse cycle for 16 minutes or a little bit longer.
How do you use Lysol clothes sanitizer?Use 2 capfuls in 1 gallon of cold water. Allow clothing to soak for 15 minutes.
