What Lysol All Purpose Cleaner Spray Mango is made of, ingredients and materials

Lysol All Purpose Cleaner is a liquid surfactant and disinfectant formulation packaged in a pressurized aerosol canister. The active ingredients typically include alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium saccharinate and other quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) for antimicrobial action. The mango fragrance formulation adds volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and potential fragrance allergens. No proprietary disclosure of PFAS use in the formula or spray valve coating is publicly available from Lysol, which is the critical gap.

⚠️

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and fragrance allergens

Aerosol spray cleaners, particularly those with mango fragrance, release VOCs and fragrance compounds into indoor air. Inhalation in poorly ventilated spaces can irritate respiratory passages and trigger asthma or allergic rhinitis in susceptible individuals; acute exposure is typically mild but cumulative exposure is not well-characterized for this specific product.

45/ 100
⚠️

Quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) skin and respiratory irritation

Alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium saccharinate and related quats are known skin and mucous membrane irritants at high concentration. Direct spray contact or prolonged aerosol inhalation can cause irritation; dilution and ventilation mitigate risk during normal use, but accidental ingestion or concentrated contact poses injury.

PFAS

Aerosol spray valves commonly use PFAS-based coatings to prevent corrosion and ensure function. Lysol has not disclosed whether the valve or formula contains PFAS. Given industry norms and the brand's silence, PFAS presence in valve components is probable and represents a pathway to air and water exposure.

⚠️

Preservative allergens and sensitizers

All-purpose cleaners typically contain preservatives such as methylisothiazolinone (MIT) or formaldehyde releasers. No specific preservative list is available for this mango variant; repeated or sensitive exposure can trigger contact dermatitis or respiratory sensitization.

How is this PFAS grade calculated?

The brand's record and disclosure

Reckitt Benckiser (Lysol's parent) has not published a public commitment to PFAS elimination or reduction in household cleaners, nor has it disclosed PFAS testing results for this product line. The brand has faced scrutiny over disinfectant claims during the pandemic but has not experienced major recalls tied to chemical contamination in All Purpose Cleaner. Absence of transparency on PFAS in spray valve coatings and surfactants remains a material disclosure failure for a consumer-facing product.

How it compares in its category

All-purpose spray cleaners as a category commonly contain quats, preservatives, and fragrances; most brands do not routinely disclose PFAS status. Lysol is a market leader and holds higher consumer trust, but that does not translate to better chemical transparency than smaller competitors in this category. Unscented or fragrance-disclosed alternatives (vinegar-based, castile-based cleaners) offer lower VOC profiles, though disinfection claims differ.

If you buy it

Use in well-ventilated areas to minimize inhalation of VOCs and fragrance aerosol. Do not spray on surfaces that will contact food or drinking water; allow surfaces to dry before contact. Replace the bottle if the spray mechanism clogs or leaks. Store upright in a cool, dry place away from heat sources. If skin or eye contact occurs, rinse immediately and consult product label for further guidance.
