I belive more can be researched for this product.
On Jay Leno, in his segment "Headlines" it was shown through a 1950's newspaper that Lysol used to be a Female Hygeine product. Perhaps this information can be used as interesting trivia? This article definitely needs a revamp.
[edit] Active Ingredient
There are many types of lysol. The most common active ingredient is alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, not dettol. --Karuna8 23:16, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Historical importance
Lysol has historical value. Check out its ads from from the mid-20th century--there are classic advertisements advertising it as a douche, using euphemisms and innuendo. It is advertised as a solution for feminine odors/uncleanliness (via innuendo)--with drawings indicating that this is what a wife should do to fix it if her husband isn't giving her enough "attention." You can find the ads by searching the internet and given its obvious value as commentary (and being used repeatedly in that manner), its clear that they qualify under fair use.
FYI, Lysol also produces these other products: LYSOL® Food Surface Sanitizer LYSOL® Brand Spray Air Sanitizer LYSOL® Disinfectant Sprays LYSOL® Sanitizing Wipes LYSOL® Toilet Bowl Cleaners LYSOL® Bathroom Cleaners LYSOL® All Purpose Cleaners LYSOL® NEUTRA AIR® Products

I found the ingredients for the Lysol All Purpose Cleaner (which I think is the 'classic lysol'):
- Active ingredients: n-Alkyl (50% C14, 40% C12, 10% C16) dimethyl benzyl ammonium chlorides 1.1856%
- Inert ingredients: 98.8144%
