Thank you for sharing your work. It’s possible that the kitchen sink was greasier than the other surfaces, and that inhibited the disinfecting, as it would with Lysol, isopropyl, bleach, or other disinfectants which are not soap.

Can you please test Clean Freak spray?

Mountain Rose Herbs make a similar EO for much cheaper.

Cool! You’re a homeschooler! Same here!😊

Sometimes when my husband says something stupid I'm like,"Wait, I thought I married the Valedictorian!" he was valedictorian of his HS class. Never gets old...... for me, lol.

I just watched your video again. I thought you had used one scoop but you used TWO SCOOPS to sanitize. That's roughly four loads in a container to sanitize four loads of laundry. It's not locally available, I need to drive 1/2 hour to the next town over to find this at Lowe's. I guess this won't work for me for the cost involved. I am very thankful and appreciative of your videos. I like how you do things and I love your voice. Thank you for doing these videos.

I love your videos. Thank you so much! ❤

I would love to see you do a testing on the Force Of Nature cleaning product that use salt water and some also use vinegar. I know you already tested it but would be interesting to see how it holds up to removing bacteria without the wait time involved in it. I always wonder about that when cleaning with it. Sometimes I wait and sometimes not, so then I wonder. Thanks! Love watching your videos. ~~~Peace~~~

Thanks Linda! I was hoping it would do a little better but at least I know before spending money on a large bottle since they aren’t cheap! A little goes a long way but still 🙂

Nice fact finding mission on this product. Peculiarly named product if I say so. Great vid!

Yeah... Just say no to MLMs. There are better cleaners & disinfectants out there, as has already been proven. 😎

Thank you for your hard work and dedication into producing this video for us. I've never used this product before; until today. I bought the aerosol can version to spray in and around bedding. I found that when the can gets to being half full, it starts to pour out from under the push button nozzle. That's not a good thing. I bought the "Lavender" scent one, too.

Very helpful, especially forgoing the 16 minute directions since most of us are in the same boat. Awesome to see how the pre soak and washer machine methods differ. Thank you!

Saw this, I am wondering with petri dish clothes washed and rinsed in the washer without any Lyson, presoak or otherwise, just normal washing.

I always wonder when they say "leave wet for 10 minutes" because naturally some starts to evaporate and dry over that time...if it does that before 10 minutes is up, are we supposed to rewet it again?!

I never comment on videos, but this was excellent. Love the Scientific Method! I don't have to take someone's word for what works best

I’m guessing that your toilet rim has more bacteria that is more resistant to the vinegar.

I have been cleaning houses for 40 years. Retired now of course I tried this mop and a store mop I’ve ever used in my life. I hate it.

I use Lysol laundry sanitizer on all laundry and I wash cleaning cloths with clothes. After watching this, though, I think I want to buy a lot more cleaning cloths and was them separately also with Lysol laundry sanitizer just to be extra careful/clean. Makes me wonder if I need to wipe down the inside of my dryer with a Clorox wipe occasionally! Can you do a video showing swabbing the inside surface of yout washer and dryer after use?

I’m missing out taking the capsules I’m gonna need me some of the drops thank you for doing this

Another good one to review would be Pine Glo.

I use it for dishes, veggies, floors, rug.

Branch basics is one of the worst performing laundry detergents ive ever tested. How do you feel about the fact that they use the same 'concentrate' across so many different uses?

I absolutely love this analysis!!! I'd love to work with you on videos in the future

My favorite tool for cleaning the windows is my husband! 😉

Hello! I happened upon your channel and enjoyed your experiment. I have been on the fence about purchasing the Lysol Laundry Sanitizer; but I am convinced now and will add it to my shopping list. Thank you for sharing this info! ❤️

very excited to hear your thoughts on Branch Basics! Thank you!

Thanks for testing this product Linda! It’s interesting to see how it is more effective on some surfaces than others. Could this be due to the surface material or types of bacteria? Have a great day 😊

Thanks Linda!

Love all your reviews a big fan of your channel.❤ I do car detailing and use Super Clean for the interior worked so well i use it for on the house but not sure how it does with bacteria and viruses?

You may just have saved my life. I'll try these oils going forward, that is the oregano and thyme oil. I've been struggling with chronic UTI's for 7 years now with no respite. I've been on ciprofloxacin orally and intravenously more times than I cam count. I just hope it doesnt spread to my kidneys at this rate. Can you recommend the brand for the oils you use and if there's a recommended method and dosage for ingesting.

I would suggest when using Dr Brenner's product in the bathroom, particularly the toilet area, I would add somthing like tea tree oil to the mix as a disinfectant. This I believe would increase its effectiveness. Just a thought. Couldn't hurt everywhere else either, what do you think?

I will never use reusable (to be cleaned or sensitized) on the toilet. Disposable works perfect psychologically and reasonably. Yikes just to think about it.

Hi! New to your channel. I was wondering if its possible to do the same test but the difference of water temprature. I am curious to see if theres is a difference of using cold or hot water to clean. Technically, most of the bacteria found in sinks (e. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, salmonella, etc) should not survive at 60 if not 70 celcius. That means that if water above the temperature 60/70 degrees C is used on bacteria then a change on before/after should be easily visible when compared to cold water.

I’m doing this project now! I have some cedar oil that grew bacteria. Sent it for sequencing and got back some cool info! ❤

What a fascinating video! I looked up Oxiclean Laundry & Home Sanitizer ( we have different brands in my country) and realised it's not just regular oxygen bleach but has an activator (TAED) in it that really enhances the effectiveness of the oxygen bleach (as we saw!). Like many people, I like to PRE-SOAK my extra dirty/gross microfibre cloths in a bucket of warm water with either vinegar (1 part vinegar 3 parts water) or oxygen bleach (as per pre-soak instructions) for a few hours before chucking them in the washing machine. I would love to see a comparison of which pre-soak method is more effective. In other words: Vinegar vs AOB (activated oxygen bleach) vs regular oxygen bleach ------ And FYI for microfiber cloth users, don't use water that's too hot. No more than 140F/60C or you can damage the cloths (essentially melting the fibres like plastic). Warm or not-too-hot is good because it opens the tiny fibres up so they can let go of what they're holding on to, but not to the point where you damage them. This goes for using a dryer for them too - low heat or no heat only. Oh, and never use fabric softener or bleach!

I absolutely love your scientific study videos, please never stop!

please try blueland products! they’re plastic-free and i’d love to know if their multi-surface and bathroom cleaners actually remove bacteria

Great video, thank you for posting this! I'm curious, have you evaluated the sanitizing effect after a delay? My concern is that plating the samples from the recently sanitized area on the nutrient-rich agar may artificially rescue a portion of the bacteria that would otherwise have not survived. It would be interesting to see the results after a 2-4 hour delay, and it would even fit with your plating scheme; B: before, A: after, C: control, D: delay. Again, great video!

Hello nice video can the cs be used for staphylococcus aureus?

So with your timers then, you leave your faucet on all the time so it can kick on by your setting?

Looking forward to seeing this video, but I just wanted to comment on your subscribers! Giiiiiirl! You’re SO CLOSE to 10,000! Keep up the great work, my friend!❤

love your channel! please add the Clorox Free & Clear Wipes to the suggestion list!

Love your videos! whats the best disinfectant for getting rid of black mold?
