Dettol/Lysol in laundry.

[mattywashboy]

This is the product I use in our washing and washing at work, gives the clothes a wonderful fresh scent without drowning out the fabric softener. Generally i use it on towels without any fabric softener and they just smell wonderful and fresh and clean. Slight air of eucalyptus about them which is very nice.

If I want a change I also can buy this one, Canesten does a great job, leaves clothes nice and fresh same as the dettol, I can only find the yellow 'lemon' scent around WA but the blue original could be hiding somewhere, never tried it. The yellow leaves a faint scent of lemon but nice and subtle.

Love both these products, they make my washing feel and smell fresh and disinfected, great for your sheets and towels and underwear!

We still have the phenol based Dettol in Australia.

I've got a bottle in the bathroom and it definitely contains Phenol compounds.

We use it for swabbing cuts or scratches, but I'm not fond enough of the smell to use it in washing or as a general purpose cleaner.

The version we have here is called Antiseptic, where as the UK version is called disinfectant. I assume the chemical difference is the reason why.

Hexachloraphine

As is "Phisohex" is still made IIRC, but only available in the USA with a perscription. Given the history of the product most physicans are loathe to give it out as there are other less toxic alternatives and they don't have to bother with potential lawsuits.
