This Dettol Laundry Sanitiser stuff....

[AndyMurraysBalls]

Does it replace the usual washing powder/liguid/tabs or is it used alongside?

Does it smell like Dettol and does that smell transfer to clothes/bedding/towels etc?

I can't believe I'm interested in something so boring as laundry but there we go .....

I was everything at low temperature and all the time its mine or DH stuff I'm happy with that. We do have Airbnb guests though and I add it when washing towels. I add a capful with usual washing liquid and it smells quite nice. I really wouldn't want it smelling of ordinary disinfectant or Zoflora though.

This is the trouble with 'eco' washing machines that use hardly any water, isn't it? You have to use shitloads of chemicals as well. Not so 'eco' after all.

A machine full of hot soapy water will wash everything off. Thwacking it all round in a damp drum doesn't.

I use it when I wash my gym stuff as high temperatures aren’t suitable for the technical fabrics, but they do get pretty grotty and killing off any bacteria seems a good thing. Wouldn’t use it for every wash, but put some in if someone in the house has been sick, with their sheets/towels/pyjamas.

I’ve used it in addition to our normal powder for the family’s sports clothes as I was finding some of them (especially my sports bra 😷) still has a sweaty smell after washing. It does seem to help.

It's a waste of money and needless plastic bottles to landfill unless you have a serious bacterial infection in your household, in which case a hot wash (60 degrees) will do the same job

Use it periodically with sports clothes when they are getting a bit whiffy.

Do we reckon her hand is still poised over the buy-now button?!

I use it if I'm using communal washing machines I.e. holiday house/ campground/ hostel/ hospital/ laundromat etc where I don't know how clean the washing machine is.

Also useful if someone is seriously immunocompromised I.e from chemo or a transplant.

But I'm my day to day life I don't bother. It has its place though

Just noted from the post ahead of mine it's a bloody resurrected zombie thread. My comment still stands

I use it on sports wear that is mega sweaty and difficult to get the sweat smell out of on a normal wash. Me and dh run or go on exercise bike multiple times a week. I use my usual bio Persil in the little green ball in the washer and then a cap of this in drawer. Don’t use for any other laundry unless ds has a poo leakage (he is in Continence products. Game changer for us.

I know this thread is 9 years old, but please be careful with this is you have sensitive skin. I had a reaction to it and I'm not the only one😀

Omg!😂😂😂 I thought it was a new product!

I like it. Teen son is a bit whiffy sometimes and so are his t shirts on occasion and I find it takes the smell away. I also do a spray of Vanish too which definitely helps.

Yeah i gave teenage boys and I use it on towels and sports clothes

Laundry sanitisers are usually added during a machine’s final rinse. This usually uses unheated water. They are usually not effective below 15°C. So, they will not reach their guaranteed 99.9% effectiveness during most winter months in many countries where the mains cold water will be at much less than 15°C.
