Hi!
This may be old news, but I just discovered it so I thought I'd share. I always try to use Lysol or something to kill germs around the house as much as possible. The other day I was shopping and I came across Clorox Disinfecting Spray (relatively new I think....looks just like Lysol but made by Clorox). Anyway, I was reading the label and it specifically says that it kills Burkholderia Cepacia, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Pseudomonas putida, Staphyloccus Aureus (including Methicillin & Gentamicin resistant!).... among tons of others... I know that Lysol kills many of these as well but in comparing the cans in the store the Clorox kills many more (including B. Cepacia, which was not listed on the Lysol can I was reading). Having two daughters with CF I am always concerned about bacteria in general, but recently one of my daughters cultured MRSA and the other one did not. I will not seperate them (that decision was made when I had my second daughter) but I will do whatever I can to reduce the risk of cross contamination....
Anyway, just thought I'd share... By the way... I have asthma and Lysol really really bothers me but the Clorox does not bother me at all. The kind I got is "Fresh Scent" and it is very mild compared to Lysol. I still don't spray it when the girls are standing nearby but I can tell a difference in myself.
