Using lysol on Play mat for baby?

Question

I had a play mat from my first son, but it has been stored in our dirty garage for 3 years, so i cleaned it today. I wiped it down with some vinegar, but just felt like that wasn't clean enough, so i sprayed it with lots of lysol. Now i am wondering if i shouldn't have done that. Is lysol ok for material like it is for hard surfaces? I am letting it air out and won't let baby play on it for at least a day. Just wasn't sure if maybe since it was material it would cling to the fabric per say. Thanks

Answer 1

wait a day or two to lay him on it.

Answer 2

I think I would have gone with a mild detergent and water, but done is done.  Rinse it off, let it air out thoroughly in the sunshine, and I'm sure it will be fine.

Answer 3

It's probably fine. Just give it a rinse before you put your baby on it incase his skin reacts to being in direct contact with the Lysol and then dry it.

Answer 4

If they suggest spraying Lysol on household surfaces to disinfect, then those surfaces would be just as bad for baby.  I think give it a day to air out and them it should be fine.

Answer 5

I use lysol on everything for the kids around here. I use it on pillows and nap areas also which are not hard surfaces. I dont have a playmat but I would assume that it should be fine as long as it airs out a little before you place your baby on it.  

Answer 6

I wouldn't spray it with it again, but I'm sure it's fine. I would just rinse it off with some water and let it air dry

Answer 7

I wouldn't use the spray.  Next time use the Lysol wipes  :)
