@jeeves_ny: Laundry sanitizers are still new enough that most people don't know how valuable they are, or how to use them correctly, so here's the breakdown. Proof first: Field of Focus tested Lysol's laundry sanitizer three years ago and wiped out bacteria on filthy bathroom and kitchen towels. I reached out to both Clorox and Lysol for this one. Clorox declined, so today it's Lysol Two ways to use it right: Method one, the easy way: two caps in the rinse dispenser slot (where fabric softener goes). Rinse cycle needs to run at least 16 minutes, so use a sanitize cycle or add an extra rinse. Still use detergent in its own slot, never mix the two. Method two, the foolproof way: not sure your machine hits 16 minutes? Two capfuls in a gallon of cold water, soak 15 minutes, rewash. The 99.9% bacteria and virus kill claim only holds if you follow the exact protocol, which is why the specifics matter. No chlorine bleach, so it's safe on colors and light garments. Can't be used on wool, silk, or dry clean only pieces. I use this for odor removal and it's one of the few laundry "extras" I actually think is worth it. If your gym clothes and sports gear won't quit stinking, try it. #LaundrySanitizer #Laundry #SanitizeClothes
