UK Equivalent to Disinfectant Spray Like Lysol

I'm in a similar quandary! I can't seem to find anything like Lysol spray disinfectant, here in Wales! Sure, you can find stuff that kills germs--but nothing that kills germs AND kills mould/mildew! Dettol does make a mould and mildew remover, but it is the equivalent of "Tilex," and is a lot harsher. I want something that kills both germs and fungus! You'd think something like this would be readily available in this country, seeing as it's so bloody damp, here! >.< All the buildings are stone or brick, and condensation thrives in this place.

You've brought up a very old thread, but I have found Dettol spray disinfectant. Unfortunately, I don't remember which store I bought it from.

Really?! A disinfectant that has fungicide in it?! I know that Dettol products are sold in Homebase, but I've not come across anything that kills mould and germs all in one fell swoop!

Jynxie-- for that, we use a diluted solution of bleach and water in a plastic spray bottle.  To prevent the mold, open a window a little... especially in the kitchen while cooking or washing dishes and in the bathroom while showering.

KILLS 99.9% of BACTERIA & VIRUSES.
No need to scrub - contains active bleach.
Specially formulated with a powerful bleach to easily remove even ingrained mould and mildew.

I got my Dettol disinfectant at ASDA.

The active ingredient in many of the Lysol products is benzalkonium chloride. This ingredient is highly toxic to fish, very highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates, moderately toxic to birds and slightly toxic ("safe") to mammals.

I have a clean freak friend who will attest to the wiki info above. She killed her daughters fish in the fishtank as she sprayed it in the room, it landed on the water and poor fishy took it in. She was mortified.

You have to be really careful with Lysol products and for years that's all I used here in the states. It was recommended by the builder who was redoing my bathroom to get rid of the mold that was found behind the broken tiles. I used it but wouldn't allow my animals anywhere near that bathroom until it was completely finished. I  developed a hacking cough when I was done spraying and I used a mask! We use bleach here mainly for the laundry (whites) and although I particularly don't use it anymore it is a common practice in the States. My husband says bleach is for throwing down the loo or killing mold. We mostly use natural products now and there are many on the market that are really excellent. My DIL won't wash my Grandson's clothes at my house because I use a bio friendly laundry soap. She thinks that it isn't possible to actually get clothes clean without chemicals. I think that is the mentality of many Americans. If she only knew how bad some of them are for your skin never mind a baby's skin she'd be shocked.

In this case, bleach is not a feasible alternative. I need to spray fabrics, such as curtains and clothing that's hanging up. I'm well aware to use care, when using such products. The place will be aired-out, the animals will be going next door, there will be no foodstuffs exposed, and no children running about. I've actually found some real Lysol disinfectant spray on Amazon.co.uk...it's rather dear (nearly 20 quid, including VAT and s&h), but nothing else will do, in this particular situation!

That stuff did an amazing job on my mould-infested washing machine drawer.  I'd used all sorts of other stuff -- I started with much milder stuff and some with bleach, some without, to no avail -- and it was a serious black, oozy mould farm in there.  The Dettol spray wiped out all of the mould.  Definitely not for fabrics and such, though.  

Ahhh, mould.  How I loathe you!

Except on cheese or salami maybe...

Lysol is a brand name of disinfectant household cleaners distributed by Reckitt Benckiser. The active ingredient in many of the Lysol products is benzalkonium chloride. This ingredient is highly toxic to fish, very highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates, moderately toxic to birds and slightly toxic ("safe") to mammals.

Everything is toxic, eventually.  Even water.  It's got its own MSDS and everything.

I'm definitely not a 'Kill All the Bacterias!' type.  I tend to think most people, especially kids, could do with a bit less disinfecting, and a bit more dirt. 

But not everyone can handle that.  People who are already immune-compromised need to be able to reduce exposure to common, everyday pathogens.  And there are some things that nobody needs to be exposed to.  Disinfectants like those used in Lysol or Dettol save lives. 

As far as over-use goes, they sort of surface spray that OP was asking for isn't the problem.  It's the every-other-cleaning-product-under-the-sun, that's the problem.  Home-made, or 'eco-friendly' products are perfectly sufficient for most uses, for most people.  But when we're talking about the sorts of very contagious illness that have people exploding from both ends, it's time to turn to the wonders of modern chemistry, and bring out the big guns.

Mind-blown...
