Our clothes are in constant contact with bacteria throughout our
day-to-day activities, for example through contact with contaminated
surfaces, other people and our own bodies. Bacteria can spread from one
fabric to another in the laundry basket, from the washing-machine drum
to the next load. Some of these bacteria can survive following the wash
cycle. When it comes to certain laundry loads such as children's clothes
or sportswear, you want to eliminate bacteria that may cause illnesses
and create lingering bad smells. But detergents alone don't actually
kill all bacteria. Introducing Lysol Laundry Sanitizer, an additive
specially designed to kill 99.9% of bacteria in laundry*. Simply add
Lysol Laundry Sanitizer to your rinse cycle. It does not contain any
chlorine bleach and even works in cold water so is safe to use on most
fabrics including whites, colors and darks.
