What Lysol All Purpose Cleaner Spray is made of, ingredients and materials
Lysol All Purpose Cleaner is a water-based aerosol spray containing surfactants (cleaning agents), typically alcohol denaturant, and a hydrocarbon or compressed-gas propellant. The formula is designed to dissolve oils and kill bacteria on hard surfaces. No ceramic, enamel, Teflon-type coating, or specialty coatings are present in the product itself, so coating-related leaching hazards (lead, cadmium, aluminum) do not apply. The propellant is the primary physical hazard vector.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Propellant inhalation and respiratory irritation
Aerosol propellants (typically hydrocarbons or compressed gas) can cause dizziness, headache, and respiratory irritation with repeated or prolonged inhalation in confined spaces. This is not unique to Lysol but inherent to spray format; ventilation mitigates risk.
Fragrance allergens and sensitizers
Lysol All Purpose Cleaner contains fragrance blend not fully itemized on the label. Fragrance compounds can trigger contact dermatitis, respiratory sensitivity, or allergic reactions in susceptible individuals; no specific allergen has been recalled or widely documented for this product.
Eye and mucous membrane irritation
Surfactants and alcohol denaturants in the spray can cause eye irritation and throat irritation on direct contact. Standard product warnings address this; rinsing is effective.
Skin irritation from surfactants
Prolonged or repeated skin contact with cleaning agents can cause dryness or irritation. Glove use during application is recommended on product label.
What’s reassuring
Microplastics
No microplastic contamination has been documented in Lysol All Purpose Cleaner. Microplastic risk in household cleaners is not an established concern for this product category at this time.

The brand's record and disclosure
Lysol (Reckitt Benckiser) publishes safety data sheets and ingredient lists; the brand does not market this product with antimicrobial or pesticide claims that would trigger EPA stricter registration. No major recalls specific to chemical toxicity have been widely documented for this formulation in recent years. The company has not made a public PFAS-avoidance commitment but has not disclosed PFAS intentionally added to this cleaner. Disclosure of fragrance allergens and preservatives is limited on consumer labels.
How it compares in its category
All-purpose spray cleaners as a category rely on surfactants and propellants; Lysol is mid-market in fragrance intensity and ingredient transparency compared to unscented plant-based or mineral-oil alternatives. Most competing aerosol cleaners share similar propellant risks. Pump-spray or concentrated refill formats eliminate propellant inhalation but are less common at retail.
If you buy it
Use in well-ventilated spaces to avoid inhalation of propellant mist and fragrance compounds. Do not spray on skin, eyes, or food contact surfaces without rinsing thoroughly. Store upright in a cool, dry place away from heat and open flames (standard aerosol safety). Shake before use. Do not puncture the can. Check the safety data sheet for any fragrance allergen sensitivities if respiratory sensitivity is present.
