I’ve been using Lysol products for years. The cleaners are reliable, and I always reach for them when I want a space to feel actually clean. My recent Lysol-obsession has been one of the newer fragrances to its all-purpose cleaner line: Lysol All Purpose Cleaner in Lavender & Cotton Blossom. 

What Is Lysol All Purpose Cleaner?

Lysol All Purpose Cleaner Spray is designed to clean, sanitize, and disinfect hard, nonporous surfaces throughout your home — including counters, sinks, stovetops (at room temperature), cabinets, appliance exteriors, high chairs, bathtubs, and showers. It kills 99.9% of viruses and bacterias; it’s even effective against Norovirus, which is commonly known as the “stomach bug” or “stomach flu” and has been on the rise in the country.

One of the biggest perks? It delivers strong disinfecting power without containing chlorine bleach, making it feel less harsh than some traditional disinfectants. While I’ve been loving the new scent, the cleaner also comes in three other scents: lemon breeze, coconut and sea mineral, and mango and hibiscus.

Why I Love This All-Purpose Cleaner

What I really love about this cleaner is how effortlessly it handles bathroom messes. Soap scum on the shower walls and tub wipes away easily, without aggressive scrubbing or multiple rounds of spraying. I’ve tried plenty of other cleaners that either require way too much elbow grease or don’t actually remove buildup at all.

The scent is the other major win. The Lavender and cotton blossom smell is light, subtle, and genuinely pleasant. It still smells clean, but it doesn’t linger in that sharp, chemical way some disinfectants do. For me, that even means enjoying the cleaning process a little more (instead of bracing myself for an overpowering smell).
