Long known for its power to disinfect on contact, Lysol has created a line of small "To Go" kits intended for use in a variety of public settings, to disinfect anything from public seats to high-traffic surfaces to baby changers.  The Lysol brand has been a mainstay of North American culture for decades, and Olan's provision of personal sprayers gives Reckitt Benckiser a new market to exploit.

The product relies on Olan's technical and distribution capabilities.  Based on the companies Soren sprayer line, the new Lysol products feature quick, dripless dispensing with guaranteed efficiency from first use to last.  The design of the container/dispenser ensures a resilient product that can be tossed into purses, bags, or glove compartments without fear of leakage or breakage.  The sturdy overcap also ensures inadvertent strokes are avoided.

The product is sure to be a smash among ever-prepared moms, as the product (in a "crisp linen" scent) is one of the market's most potent antiseptics.  If used as directed on hard, non-porous surfaces, the product effectively kills:
