Pros: Is a bleach product and is a disinfectant
Cons: Is a huge health risk, especially if inhaled.
The Bottom Line: I do not recommend this product, is dangerous to humans and animals as stated on the label. I am currently experiencing a respiratory problem being treated by steroids.

| hazzzard's Full Review: Lysol All Purpose Cleaner With Bleach |
I used this product 1 week ago in my bathroom, sprayed a total of 10 shots throughout the bathroom, and felt suffocated. Throughout the rest of the day I had irritated breathing. Today 1 week later I am being treated with steroids to decrease the inflammation from inhaling this product. I have increased congestion (not infectious) caused by my immune response to the inhaling of this product. If the steroids don't work, they are going to treat with antibiotics. Good cleaner or not, do not buy this product, odor and bleach content is too strong. I have been a house cleaner and housekeeper and used many products, I have never come across such a strong and toxic spray. I can't imagine what or who passed this product. It does not say to dilute or how much to spray before toxic inhaling.
Poison Control response:Household bleaches usually contain sodium hypochlorite in a 3% to 6% solution. Some sodium hydroxide (lye) is added to keep the pH high to avoid decomposition. If the solution is made more acidic, sodium hypochlorite will dissociate, producing chlorine gas and oxygen.
This product put into a spray contains
Liquid; Disinfectant (Domestic); Sodium Hypochlorite 2% .
This seems like a lot of sodium hypo chlorite for this amount of liquid in this cleaner.
This is the warning, so why did they produce this product, if it is this hazardous:Warning from
