Default I did not know Lysol was a pesticide!


I've used this for years with my kids and just today someone from the EPA told me not to use it because it could be very dangerous for kids.
Pesticides: Learning About Labels

I did not know that.

Wow. I suppose it would make my tomato plants smell good though. :-(

This is what the a/c people told me to spray in the a/c intake to make sure there was no mold in the unit. I don't think they know.

Sounds like they don't know a lot of things. I'm sure professionals don't use Lysol to remove mold from AC units.

I was under the impression that bleach is the only household product that kills mold, and most bacteria. Lysol is only effective if you follow the instructions to a tee, which most people do not.

Edited to add that I know that about Lysol and all other common household cleaners because when I took Microbiology a few semesters ago my prof. gave that to me as my project. I had to "grow" bacteria and then use the chemicals on it to see what worked. Bleach is IMO the only thing worth cleaning your house with. Dilute 1 part bleach to ten parts water and you have the perfect cleanser.

Considering they were licensed and with the BBA I assumed they knew what they were talking about. I questioned it myself. That's part of the reason I got the EPA and other people involved with the mold issue from the a/c

Good idea! What a mess. I hope it gets fixed for good, and soon.
