It can effectively kill up to 99.99% of all bacteria in your home, such as mold and mildew. The best way to use Lysol to kill mold is by spraying the affected area until it's soaked and let it sit for up to 10 minutes. Scrub the area after with a clean brush or magic eraser sponge and the mold should start coming off.
Simply pre-clean the surface, hold can 6” to 8” inches from surface and spray for 3 to 4 seconds until covered with mist. Let it stand for 3 minutes before allowing to air dry. Repeat applications at weekly intervals, or simply when mold and mildew growth appears.
Spray surface until thoroughly wet, let stand 5 minutes and rinse. To kill SARS-CoV-2, let stand 1 minute. To Kill Mold & Mildew on Porous Surfaces: Spray surface until thoroughly wet, let stand 10 minutes, and rinse. To Remove Mildew Stains: Spray and wait until stains disappear before rinsing.
For shoes or fabric, you need to let Lysol sit for up to 10 minutes and ensure the fabric is thoroughly wet. For surfaces like carpets or rugs, Lysol will also work but may need additional time (up to 10 minutes) to fully dry and take effect.
Magic! Honestly like a magic spray. I have used other mould products with integrated brushes etc to really get in the sealant - works 60% even when left overnight .
You will need to ventilate the room well as the odour is very strong. I would not sleep in the room for about 12 hrs after use and then still ensure windows are open.
Let surface remain wet for 3 minutes to disinfect. Apply to items that can bring germs into your home such as shoes, backpacks, coats and packages. Also use on soft surfaces such as couches, pillows and mattresses. The fabric must remain wet for ten minutes then allow to air dry.

Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors. Not recommended for use by persons with heart conditions or chronic respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema or obstructive lung disease. Harmful if swallowed.
Typically, it's safe to return 24 to 48 hours after the remediation process is completed. This allows time for any airborne spores to settle and for the air quality to return to safe levels.
Occasionally, mold can be found in the bathroom, on a windowsill, shower curtain, or wall. This mold can be wiped off the surface with a damp cloth and cleaning agent (such as window or bathroom cleaner).
Ventilation is key during and after mold cleaning. It's recommended to ventilate the area for at least 24-48 hours after remediation. This helps clear any airborne spores and chemical smells after mold remediation for a safer breathing environment.
Mildew has a gray, white or light brown color and generally rests flat on the surface of a moist area. It has a powdery appearance that may have a distinct, foul odor. Mold has a fuzzy, raised appearance and in unaired areas has a strong, musty smell. It often appears in darker shades of black, green and red.
Hydrogen peroxide, commonly used to disinfect wounds, is active against a wide variety of micro-organisms including mold. It acts by releasing oxygen at a rapid rate, which kills mold by oxidizing the surface and breaking down proteins and DNA.
Shake well and spray evenly on surface. Let sit for 2-3 minutes or until stains disappear or soften. DO NOT exceed 5 minutes. Rinse with water or wipe down thoroughly with a damp cloth.
Lysol becomes safer once it's totally dry. After you spray Lysol, give it at least 10-15 minutes - or even longer if it still feels wet - before letting your baby near that area. You don't want your baby touching any wet surfaces that still have active chemicals on them.
To Clean and Deodorize:
Spray surface until thoroughly wet. Wipe with a clean cloth or sponge. No rinsing required.
Swallowing, breathing in the product, or spraying it in the eyes can be potentially dangerous.
If you're not wearing any Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), you're inviting all of those mold spores to settle on your clothing, the area you're cleaning, your shoes (allowing mold to travel to other areas in your home), in your eyes, and up your nose into your upper respiratory system.
Unfortunately, mold spores can remain airborne indefinitely, especially when mold is present, not fully removed, or disturbed in your home. And even if mold is not currently present in your home, mold spores can travel long distances—attaching to you or pets or entering through ventilation.
