How does this compare to washing bedding in hot water for sanitization?

The Crisp Linen scent is formulated to be light and clean rather than heavy or perfume-forward, but if you are highly fragrance-sensitive, you may want to test on a small load before committing to a full bedding set.
Will using this on my sheets void the warranty or wear them out faster?
No. The bleach-free, color-safe formula is gentler on fibers than chlorine bleach, so it will not void sheet warranties or accelerate fabric wear when used as directed.

Yes. It is a true bleach alternative that disinfects by killing 99.9% of bacteria, giving you the sanitizing power you need without the chlorine fumes, skin irritation, and fabric damage associated with bleach.
How do I use Lysol Laundry Sanitizer in my washing machine?
Add it to the fabric softener drawer of your standard or HE washing machine at the start of the cycle, then run your normal wash with detergent. Do not pour it directly onto fabrics, and always follow the dosing instructions on the bottle.
Can I use this with my regular laundry detergent?
Yes. This is a detergent additive designed to be used alongside your regular detergent — it does not replace detergent but adds a sanitizing step that kills 99.9% of bacteria on your laundry.
How much should I use per load?
Use the recommended dose printed on the bottle (typically one capful or measured amount per standard load). For heavily soiled or high-odor athletic loads, follow the label instructions for maximum sanitization.
Is this compatible with high-efficiency (HE) washing machines?
Yes. Lysol Laundry Sanitizer is compatible with both standard and high-efficiency (HE) washing machines when added to the fabric softener dispenser.
