Question 1

what would happen if you mistaken a lysol disinfectant wipe from a baby wipe and do a diaper change?

Accepted Answer

Not Much: It may really cause skin irritation, but little else.

Question 2

my daughters dad let her wipe after using the bathroom with a lysol disinfectant wipe will that cause serious problems down there?

Accepted Answer

Lysol cleaning wipes: Would not use cleaning agents to wipe one's vulvar area. These tissues are delicate and those products can be quite strong.

Question 3

are lysol disinfectant wipes good enough to clean and disinfect shoes completely?

Accepted Answer

Disinfectant wipes: That depends. According to the company, lysol disinfectant wipes "Kills 99.9% of viruses and bacteria*, including 8 cold and flu viruses; Kills the COVID-19 virus".  I suspect that would be true if cleaning a hard surface. However if your shoes are made of fabric or you want to clean the interior of the shoe, I am not sure if you would get that high a level of protection.

Question 4

is lysol disinfectant spray harmful if it gets on skin and doesn't get washed off?

Accepted Answer

Rinse skin: Lysol disinfectant spray is not intended for use on the skin. It can irritate the skin.  Key to rinse area well if sprayed on skin.  Also avoid spraying eyes. Keep skin clean using soap and water.

Question 5

my 11 year old kid got a bit of lysol on his finger and he said he was chewing his skin from that finger that got a bit of lysol and he says he swallowed it what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Watch and wait: What you described is unlikely to have adverse health effects. You may watch and wait. Give him enough water to drink so that his urine is mostly colorless. If he gets any symptoms it would be prudent to consult your doctor.
Wish you and your son good health!

Question 6

what do i need to do if lysol disinfectant spray gets in my eye?

Accepted Answer

Flush eyes!: Lysol can be very irritating to the eyes at the least, and can be quite harmful.  Flush the eyes with copious amounts of water immediately and for several minutes.  If you do not feel better within a couple of minutes, go to an emergency room to have the eyes checked. Burns to the eye from chemicals can be dangerous.

Question 7

will lysol laundry disinfectant kill coxsackle virus from clothes? if not, how should i wash them?

Accepted Answer

: It should; I actually expect normal laundry process with dryer to be sufficient in killing most viruses.

Question 8

i am about 5 weeks pregnant and just did quite a bit of cleaning (without gloves or a mask) with lysol disinfectant wipes. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

No harm done...: Lysol has been around a long time and to date there are no obvious problems with occasional use during pregnancy.   Medical knowledge is incomplete, so its always best to wear gloves and use household chemicals in a well ventilated area.   This is especially true in the first 8 weeks of pregnancy when organ development is taking place.  Best wishes!

Question 9

i was using a lysol disinfectant spray. after i was done i rubbed my eyes, but forgot i was using the spray earlier. should i be worried about this?

Accepted Answer

Not to worry: If there was enough on your hands to cause any damage to your eyes, you would have had an immediate sense of discomfort and pain.  The fact that you are asking the question, indicates that your eyes did not react and you did no harm.

Question 10

my 2 yr old sprayed lysol disinfectant in her mouth i gave her water rt after?

Accepted Answer

Mainly irritant: It mainly acts as an irritant and in small quantities is non toxic. Irrigation and drinking water after an exposure is good care. All the best.
