What is the difference between Lysol Power and Free cleaners
and traditional Lysol brand cleaners?
As part of the brand's "healthing" campaign, the Power & Free line still promises to kill 99.9% of viruses and
bacteria like other Lysol products--but, this line does so with fewer chemicals--using
hydrogen peroxide as the primary cleaning agent. As a former environmental consultant--I
understand chemical toxicities and still read MSDS’s for fun (sadly)--but the
Environmental Working Group’s website does a nice job comparing the environmental,health and safety ratings of Lysol’s various products in an easy to read format. While the new
Power & Free line hits only a B-B+ grade--which isn’t perfect--it is
significantly better than the grades previously earned by their original formulations.
Do the Power & Free Multi-Purpose Cleaning Products work
as effectively as the traditional Lysol products? We used the Power & Free wipes in all of
the same situations as we had tried the original--and I really liked them. The scent was clean and light and the wipe
material felt much softer than usual--but, the wipe worked well for all of our
clean-up jobs. The Power & Free
Multi-Purpose Cleaner spray had a much more pleasing scent than its traditional
counterpart--although the Orange Zest was not as mild as the Oxygen scented
wipes. We found that we were actually
more willing to use the wipes in the small, upstairs bathroom since their scent was less
overwhelming than other multi-purpose cleaners. I saw no difference in the
Power & Free products' cleaning ability.
Would we recommend Power & Free Multi-Purpose Cleaning products? These products are not all natural or totally free of chemicals--but, they do make a healthier alternative to the brand’s traditional products and many of the other household cleaners readily available. I would buy these product variations again--especially when brand-specific, school supply lists request the Lysol brand. For those seeking healthier cleaning products without heftier price tags, the Lysol Power & Free Multi-Purpose Cleaner offer an alternative. Is this product 100% healthy or chemical free? No--but, it is healthier than the brand’s regular formula and is a step in the right direction.
