Does Lysol Kill the COVID-19 virus?
The CDC recommends cleaning and disinfecting surfaces daily to prevent the spread of the COVID-19. Lysol is here to help protect you and your family.
Part of preventing the spread of germs is making sure you use products that work against them. Helping to keep your family safe from COVID-19 is no different, so it is important to use cleaning products that have been approved for use on SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19.

Improper use of Disinfectants
Due to recent speculation and social media activity, RB (the makers of Lysol and Dettol) has been asked whether internal administration of disinfectants may be appropriate for investigation or use as a treatment for coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2).
As a global leader in health and hygiene products, we must be clear that under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body (through injection, ingestion, or any other route). As with all products, our disinfectant and hygiene products should only be used as intended and in line with usage guidelines. Please read the label and safety information.
We have a responsibility in providing consumers with access to accurate, up-to-date information as advised by leading public health experts. For this and other myth-busting facts, please visit Covid-19facts.com.
