Laundry Sanitizer Additive, Bacteria-Causing Laundry Odor Eliminator, Detergent Additive, Crisp Linen, 90oz

If its stinky but salvageable then this stuff is great. It sanitizes your laundry and gets the stink out. Perfect for towels or laundry that's been sitting in the washer for a day or two... I use this in an all in one washer/dryer and my laundry comes out smelling fantastic. Highly recommended.

Excellent product! Not only is it a great value for the money, but it truly takes out tough odors without overpowering your detergent and softener sheets. I love that it kills 99.9% of germs that cause odors and with so much sickness going around, I feel better using this on my grandchildren’s clothes when they come to visit after they’ve been in school around sick children all day! Will definitely continue to buy this product!

Clean scent, works well, excellent price point. Disinfect your regular and pet laundry! I was using the enzyme washing machine cleaner, this makes it smell even better! I’m still using both for machine management.

This came up as a suggested item and I’m glad I decided to give it a try. It’s thin like water. A little goes a long way. It’s definitely an additive and not a replacement for regular detergent. I added just a bit to the fabric softener compartment of our washer - along with a little fabric softener when appropriate for the load type. The difference is noticeable. The laundry seems a little fresher… a little cleaner. There’s no detectable residual odors when there have been some before. Since only a tiny bit is needed, this jug should last a long time. I will definitely be adding it to the loads which could use a little extra sanitizing. Great product. Thanks to Amazon for the recommendation.

I recently started using Lysol Tough Odor Eliminator Laundry Sanitizer Additive with my gym clothes and activewear, and it’s been a game changer! This product truly eliminates tough odors that regular detergent just can’t handle—especially sweat smells that tend to linger even after washing. I simply add it to my wash along with my regular detergent, and it works quietly but effectively. My workout shirts, shorts, and socks come out smelling fresh and clean every time. I’ve even used it on gym towels and sports gear, and the results are excellent. What I really appreciate is that it doesn’t just mask odors with a fragrance—it actually removes them. Plus, it’s easy to use and doesn’t leave any residue on my clothes. If you’re struggling with stubborn smells in your laundry, especially in activewear or gym gear, this Lysol laundry sanitizer is totally worth it. Highly recommend! 🧺💪🚿

I am in a household with 3 members. One of my household members is dealing with a highly contagious fungal toenail infection. Since we share the same laundry it is important that all laundry be sanitized. We’ve done a couple of things in addition to using this sanitizer. Socks are washed in their own cycle and on the hottest and longest setting. We also use Tide Hygienic Clean detergent which helps deep clean and kill fungi. This sanitizer goes in the rinse cycle so we’ve filled the softener reservoir with this sanitizer so it is released into the rinse cycle. I do not know if the appropriate amount is released but so far it seems to be working with the other steps we’ve taken. We sanitize the shower floor after every shower using a bleach spray in addition to removing a shared bath mat (we replaced with a stone bath mat because those are antimicrobial). So far all of these steps combined seem to have contained the infection. These infections are really bad and require 3 month courses of antibiotics or year long courses of topical medications applied twice daily. We opted for the antibiotics in the interest of containing the infection. This infection has been expensive and all around just a pain. We’ve been dealing with it for months and even once it is clear we will need to persist with sanitation methods so there is no reoccurrence. I don’t know if this sanitizer alone would be enough without the Tide Hygienic detergent, separation of socks (dirty socks are kept in plastic garbage bags until they are laundered) and sanitize cycle on the washing machine. The sanitation of the shower multiple times a day is also essential. Towels are never shared. This is a nice alternative to washing and drying everything in the sanitation cycle which is 2 hours long, uses extremely hot water/ heat and would destroy about half of my clothing along with costing a ton in water, electricity and gas. I believe this has at least helped to keep the infection contained to one person in the household. This would also be something I would use if using a shared machine like at apartments or a laundromat. It smells good and it seems to do what it advertises: kill microbes. If you are looking for a way to sanitize laundry, this product seems to do that. I don’t have a lab and obviously can’t check for myself but the proof is in the pudding….nobody else got the highly contagious infection despite sharing the same shower and laundry. My only complaint is that it needs to be released in the rinse cycle specifically and the only way for me to do this is in a front load washer is to replace my softener with this product. I miss my softener and switched to softener sheets. This is likely the one product I will stop using once the infection has cleared because I’d like to use my softener reservoir for liquid softener. But while we have a contagious infection in the house, this will remain in the softener reservoir.

Bedding had the dreaded "old person smell" so used this in place of softener and paused the washer for 15 minutes after it was thoroughly mixed in with the bedding. First washed with reg/ detergent, added some OxiClean and also paused for 30 minutes after all was mixed in. Smell is gone. Not sure which product worked or both together but I'm never going back to softener and already ordered two more of each product.

I wish I had found this years ago. The Lysol Tough Odor Eliminator Laundry Sanitizer is an absolute must-have if you have gym clothes, sports gear, or anything that tends to hold onto stubborn odors. This stuff works incredibly well. I’ve thrown everything at it—gym shirts, leggings, towels, even sneakers—and it eliminates odor-causing bacteria completely. No more “clean but still smells like sweat” laundry. Everything comes out smelling fresh without that harsh bleach scent (because there’s 0% bleach, which I love). The 90oz size lasts a long time, even with frequent use, and it blends right into the wash without affecting colors or fabric quality. My activewear feels cleaner and fresher than it has in ages. If you want workout clothes that actually smell clean after washing, this is the hero product. Five stars, absolutely deserves all the praise! 🧺✨

Nice

Good product. Sanities and refreshes the clothes. Though the amount needed is a lot, so you need to keep buying the product against and again.

The fragrance is too strong.
