      I'm glad you provided the link to the just laundry detergent results in this pinned comment since I was wondering about that case when watching this video.
      The just laundry detergent results combined with the just Lysol Laundry Sanitizer results indicate that Lysol Laundry Sanitizer works much better than laundry detergent alone for removing bacteria.
      The sanitizing effect of the dryer surprised me. I presume it is from the heat of the dryer. You said the dryer setting you used was the setting for towels. Is that a high heat setting?
      My dryer only has heat settings labelled Air, Low, Medium, and High. I usually dry my clothes on Medium heat rather than High heat because that helps reduce wrinkles and prevents inadvertent scorching.
      Thanks for posting these videos.

    I would *LOVE* to see a test on disinfecting sponges - particularly testing a sponge that was run though the dishwasher with dishes. My wife does this which makes me cringe. (You could test the dishes too to see if the sponge transfers bacteria to the dishes! My view is that dishwashers are not designed for fabrics, hence washing sponges and small towels in them will not give good results!

    This confirms me using cleaning rags to clean everything and washing those separately in the wash and never washing cleaning rags with any of my other laundry. I also separate out my kitchen towels, and bathroom towels separately also. So basically there’s five categories of washing: clothing, bedding, bathroom towels, and face cloths, etc., kitchen towels, and reusable sponges, and finally cleaning rags.
    BTW, use the Lysol sanitizer (free and clear) in my pre-wash cup and also in my fabric softener cup, so I put it in both places when I do my laundry.

    I didn't read enough to know if anybody else has mentioned this, but I am wondering how much bacteria would have been removed if you had simply put the dirty cloths in the washer and used only water, and then put them in the dryer and tested afterwards. That could be a better control, because then the only difference would be with and without sanitizer. I am wondering how much simply washing without sanitizer could possibly dilute and clean the cloths, and then how well the dryer would kill any remaining bacteria. Thanks! I appreciate all your testing. Perhaps you have tested this before and I simply haven't taken the time to find it. If so, I apologize in advance.

    Extraordinary analysis! I’ve been using Lysol Laundry Sanitizer for years, but never realized I was supposed to let it sit for 15-16 minutes. My small commercial-grade Speed Queen has even fewer settings than the machine shown here (I wanted the least-featured workhorse replacement for my 50-year-old Maytag). I was afraid your findings might show I had to relaunder every textile in my home! But I take great comfort in seeing how phenomenally the Lysol product still performs the ‘lazy’ way I’ve been using it. Too, you’ve confirmed it’s not my imagination - my dog’s muddy and bath towels really are amazingly clean and fresh after laundering with it! Thank you!

    I tried the lysol laundry detergent in the rinse cycle and found the laundry still smelled like lysol, which I was not a fan of. Then I tried putting it in the wash cycle with the laundry soap. This was much better and the wash cycle is longer than the rinse cycle anyway. After reading the labels fine print, I concluded that this is just regular lysol that has been somewhat watered down. Now i am using regular lysol cleaner (lemon scent) in the wash cycle. I use two capfulls (the small caps on the lysol cleaner bottle) for a small wash and add another capful for each size-up of wash load. Everything comes out smelling very fresh and clean. And its much, much cheaper.

    I also found that using the Lysol laundry sanitizer cuts out any odor that I have coming from my top loader washer. I discovered that I can wash out my kitchen sink drain with hot water and dish detergent followed by the Lysol sanitizer. I let that sit overnight and flush with hot water the next morning. It removes any drain odor that I might have.

    You missed one thing or maybe I missed you saying it. The control… you did not soak the testers without Lysol in the bucket. You did not rinse the testers in the washing machine. It’s obvious that bacteria will remain on the rags but it’s necessary for good research. I also fail to understand the purpose behind taking samples from testers after the dryer. Are we looking for regrowth from the already dead bacteria? Fun video tho! I enjoyed it! Thanks for uploading!

      I wouldn’t compare bleach necessarily though. I’m willing to bet regular laundry soap does just fine, especially followed by the dryer, and especially if hot water is used.

      The soap negates the sanitation properties. Per Lysol: What happens if you mix Lysol sanitizer with detergent?
      You may notice your normal detergent is not as effective if you mix with Lysol Laundry Disinfectant. These products are not meant to be used together so we do not recommend it. There are no safety concerns, but you will not have the best usage experience for both products.

    Thank you! I really appreciate this video. This is the first time I have ever seen one of your videos. I use this Lysol Laundry Sanitizer for some of my personal loads of laundry. I volunteer at a no-kill cat shelter and bring home 5-7 loads of laundry from there every week. This is from my one day of volunteering. There is so much more laundry that is done through the entire week. You can probably just imagine the amount of bacteria that accumulates on blankets, quilts, pet beds, towels, etc.from these babies. I was very skeptical about this product, but now I feel so much better that I am using it to greatly reduce the amount of bacteria that these kitties may be subjected to. Our goal is to harbor any cat that is surrendered and we can accommodate, feed, provide a healthy life to via Veterinary visits, warmth in the winter and coolness in the summer but first of all provide so much love for these beloved sweeties!
