Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You need EPA-registered antibacterial action specifically and cannot find an alternative that combines fragrance control with bacterial kill.
You are using it occasionally in a well-ventilated space and ingredient safety is not a priority.
You are aware of the ingredient safety limitations and treat this as an occasional-use product rather than a daily household staple.
You want an EPA Safer Choice certified spray with zero fragrance secrets and no hazardous preservatives.
You need a targeted spray for pet accidents, litter areas, trash cans, or fabric odors.
You already use Fresh Wave Gel and want the same safe formulation in spray form.
Spraying directly on odor sources is your preferred method over passive gel placement.
The main thing to know
Lysol Neutra Air Sanitizer combines the three worst safety signals in the category — aerosol format, undisclosed fragrance, and confirmed BIT preservative — making it the product Gimme The Good Stuff explicitly recommends avoiding.
Effective duration per use is not stated, so you cannot pre-plan how often to reapply — this is a spray-as-needed product, not a continuous odor controller.
Skip this if you...
You use air fresheners regularly in enclosed spaces with children, pets, or people with respiratory conditions — aerosol propellants and undisclosed fragrance create compounding inhalation exposure.
Anyone in your home has asthma, fragrance sensitivities, or is pregnant — all three of Lysol Neutra Air's safety flags have documented effects on respiratory and hormonal health.
You want an odor eliminator that actually removes odors — fragrance masking only temporarily hides them.
You need a product that provides continuous multi-day odor control without repeat application.
You are looking for an air freshener that maintains a lasting scent in a room — this neutralizes, not scents.
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
