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 free & Clear, an additive specially designed to kill 99.9% of bacteria in laundry when used as directed. Lysol Laundry Sanitizer free & Clear is free from fragrance and free from dye. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this leave a lingering scent on my sheets and towels so my wind-down routine feels calming?
No. Lysol Laundry Sanitizer Additive is Free & Clear, with no fragrance and no dyes added, so your bedding and bath linens come out unscented and ready for layering with your own pillow sprays or essential oils.
Does it actually help me reset my towels and loungewear between spa-night rituals?
Yes. It kills 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae, removing the source of musty towel smell rather than masking it, so your self-care linens feel genuinely fresh.
Can I use it in a cold-water cycle to save energy and still get a hygienic result?
Yes. The formula is designed to be effective in cold water, so you can run an energy-saving wash for your wellness linens while still removing bacteria that regular detergent leaves behind.
Will the additive feel harsh on my skin if I sleep in sheets washed with it?
No. The Free & Clear formula is made without fragrances or dyes and is gentle on skin, making it well suited for sheets, pillowcases, and pajamas used in nightly wind-down routines.
Is the liquid easy to add to my laundry without disrupting a mindful, low-fuss routine?
Yes. The liquid format is designed to be poured into the fabric softener drawer, so you simply add it at the start of the cycle and let the machine do the rest — no extra rinses or measuring cups required.
Is this a good upgrade for a wellness-focused linen refresh routine?
Yes. If you already rotate sheets and towels as part of a self-care ritual, adding a bacteria-killing sanitizing step elevates that routine from surface-fresh to hygienically clean without introducing scent or dye.
Can I use it on my spa-style head towels and microfiber face cloths?
Yes. It is gentle on fabrics and is a 0% bleach formula, so it is safe for everyday cotton towels and most microfiber items used in facial and body care routines.
Does it work as a bacteria-killing step beyond just deodorizing my linens?
Yes. Unlike scent boosters that only mask odors, this additive kills 99.9% of bacteria, addressing the root cause of laundry smell on towels, robes, and bedding.
Will using it help me extend the life of my favorite wellness linens between deep cleans?
Yes. By controlling odor-causing bacteria between full washes, you can keep robes, towels, and bedding in rotation longer while maintaining a fresh, clean feel.
Is this compatible with HE washers so I don't need a separate product?
Yes. The formula is compatible with both standard and high-efficiency (HE) washing machines, making it easy to integrate into a single, simple laundry routine.
How does this compare to adding vinegar to my wellness laundry?
Unlike vinegar, which only helps with mild odor and residue, Lysol Laundry Sanitizer is proven to kill 99.9% of bacteria on fabrics and is unscented, so it won't compete with your calming scents.
Is this better than a scented linen spray for keeping my bed fresh?
Linen sprays only add scent to the surface. This additive sanitizes the fabric itself during the wash, removing bacteria that cause odor rather than covering it up with fragrance.
How does it compare to using regular detergent alone for my sheets?
Regular detergent cleans visible soil but does not kill bacteria. Adding this sanitizer addresses what detergent leaves behind, giving you a more hygienic, genuinely fresh result on every cycle.
Will the unscented formula feel too clinical for a calming home environment?
No. Because there is no added fragrance, the additive will not interfere with your candles, diffusers, or pillow mists, so your bedroom atmosphere stays exactly as you designed it.
Is it worth the cost if I already use a premium detergent?
Yes. Premium detergents focus on cleaning and scent, but they do not sanitize. This additive provides a targeted bacteria-killing step that complements your existing detergent for a more complete clean.
I have sensitive skin — is this safe for direct-contact wellness items like face cloths?
Yes. The Free & Clear formula is free from fragrance and dyes, making it a gentle choice for face cloths, towels, and sleepwear that touch sensitive skin.
How do I use Lysol Laundry Sanitizer Additive in my washing machine?
Add your regular detergent to the detergent compartment as usual, then pour the recommended amount of Lysol Laundry Sanitizer Additive into the fabric softener drawer. Run your normal wash cycle — it works in both cold and warm water.
Can I use it with my regular laundry detergent?
Yes. The sanitizer is designed to be used alongside your existing detergent, adding a bacteria-killing step to the wash without interfering with cleaning performance.
How much sanitizer should I use per load?
Refer to the label directions on the bottle for the exact amount, which is typically measured using the cap. Standard and HE machines both use the same dose for each load.
Is it compatible with high-efficiency (HE) washing machines?
Yes. Lysol Laundry Sanitizer Additive is compatible with both standard and high-efficiency (HE) washing machines, making it suitable for any household setup.
Can I use it in a top-loading or front-loading washer?
Yes. The liquid format works in both top-loaders and front-loaders, and is added through the fabric softener drawer for even distribution during the cycle.
What is included when I order the single 90 fl oz pack?
Each single pack includes one 90 fl oz bottle of Lysol Laundry Sanitizer Additive in the Free & Clear formula. No additional accessories are required — just add it to your fabric softener drawer.
Is it safe to use around children and pets?
The Free & Clear formula contains no fragrance and no dyes and is 0% chlorine bleach. As with any laundry product, keep it stored out of reach of children and follow the label directions.
Will using it void my washing machine warranty?
No. The formula is compatible with both standard and HE washers and is added through the fabric softener drawer as recommended by most machine manufacturers.
What is the difference between a laundry sanitizer and laundry detergent?
