Used Lysol....now I'm panicking

Taylorgabbitas · June 2014

our dog has had diarrhea for the last few days and I've tried to keep her contained to our kitchen with our hardwood floors but she escaped and got all over our couch and carpet (not poop, just her running around). I know she's probably stepped in it so of course with my almost one month old I panicked about the germs that were spread. I made husband take her back into our room and sprayed our couch with Lysol (can says it will sanitize porous surfaces if damp for 30 seconds). Now while trying to find something to do about the carpet this morning in seeing all this horrible stuff about using Lysol! What should I do? Clean the couch with something different to remove the residue? She was away with the door shut and I had the window open and fan on so I'm not concerned about inhalation, just residue on the couch. I'm definitely finding something more green for future use but it was all I had on hand and didn't know it was bad. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I think you may have a very looong 18 years ahead of you

Breathe. For real.

I literally Lysol-ed every surface of my house this past week when my 3 year old came down with Hand Foot and Mouth disease. No shame. I'd rather my 5 week old be exposed to a little Lysol than that disgustingness.

Relax! A little Lysol is not the big a deal.
There are plenty of green cleaning options available though, so do a little reasech to ease your stress in the future. I use a lot of vinegar and baking soda to clean.

For real though, this is a very minor thing to be frazzled about.

Did you spray it in LO's mouth? If not, I think you're good. If so...that's F'ed up.

I used Lysol on the pnp we got at a resale store for my first. Besides the 3rd arm (which really comes in handy) he's quite typical.

@shiggybop I just spit out my coke

You mean you're not supposed to do that? Shit i'll have to rethink his nighttime mouth cleaning routine.

Try Borax instead

Related story: the doula I used for my first pregnancy also happened to be a sales person for this all natural line of beauty and home products. She saw my Lysol wipes out on the counter during one of our meetings and wouldn't stop telling me how awful it was for us and the baby, and how we should buy her enzyme stuff, and how Lysol was incredibly flammable, blah blah blah. She got super pushy and after one particularly pushy email from her, I actually took a wipe, wiped the counter, and then held a lighter to the still damp counter. It didn't light. I still use Lysol wipes. C doesn't have anything wrong with her.
