We've all been using a lot more sanitizer lately. You know, obvious reasons. Sometimes I'm applying it for a good measure, and other times I'm slathering it on because it feels like a safety blanket for me and the countertops. So you better believe I was pretty jazzed when I read about Tide Antibacterial Fabric Spray.
I'm not a fan of spraying Lysol or Clorox disinfectants directly onto fabric and upholstery and Febreze freshens but doesn't sanitize soft porous surfaces in the way I need these days (although I love the crisp linen scent).
The Tide team has a hit on their hands with this one. Odor eliminator and fabric sanitizer all in one. What a great product.
Amazing Tide Antibacterial Fabric Spray
Tide Antibacterial Fabric Spray, 22 Fl Oz Each, Pack of 3
Tide's bleach-free sanitizing spray is serious, right down to the individual bacteria they're targeting. Microorganisms like Staphylococcus aureus (staph) and Escherichia coli (e.coli) can't hide out on your soft surfaces anymore. Enterobacter aerogenes and Proteus mirabilis (these sound like Harry Potter spells) won't stand a chance either. I've never heard of them, but I know I want 'em gone!
Speaking of magic, I carry around Tide To-Go Instant Stain Remover like a wand, so you bet I'm going to be banking on the reliability of this disinfectant spray. Customer reviews say it works on hard surfaces too. And no stains on your stuff!
Disclaimer: the active ingredient here is Didecyl dimethyl Ammonium Chloride, which in layman's means not bleach. However, just like the fresh scent of Tide laundry detergent floating from a washing machine, this spray bottle will make your home smell better, even as it is actively disinfecting your unclean surfaces.
It's tough to explain just how convenient this is going to be for my life. My wife is going to bring this Tide Spray along to every Airbnb we visit from here on out. I think it will be an easy freshener to use on my sleeping bag. It works incredibly for this Amazon reviewer:
Part laundry sanitizer, part fabric refresher, all affordable. With a pricing of $17 for three bottles of this amazing freshener, Procter & Gamble can just take my money already.
You could be sanitizing your couch, car, and clothes with Tide Antibacterial Fabric Spray in just two business days. Two-day delivery for the simplest virus-killing spray around? Too convenient.
