OMG! Showed this to my wife and she thought it must be a spoof but PROOF I've found http://www.mum.org/Lysol48.htm. How whacky is that. Does anyone read the label?

Lysol consists of three main active ingredients, Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether (which is an alcohol), Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl ammonium chloride and Dialkyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride (both of which are Quarternary Ammonium compounds). The two different types of antimicrobial agents both have similar though different mechanisms of action responsible for killing bacterial cells. The alcohol works by changing the structure of proteins in the microorganism and is enhanced by the presence of water. The Quaternary Ammonium compounds function by affecting proteins in the cell membrane and releasing nitrogen and phosphorous from the cells. These mechanisms of action allow the disinfectant to be effective against a wide range of bacteria including both gram negative and gram positive bacteria.

Yup,the Lysol douche was America's favorite, until minty fresh Scope mouthwash, and later, Mountain Dew came along.

I always keep a can of Lysol under the bed. I can't believe this is news to anyone!
