Lysol, a leader in germ kill, has announced that Lysol disinfecting wipes made from 100 per cent plant-based fibres have been named the 2022 'Product of the Year' award winner in the disinfecting wipes category by the largest consumer-voted award for product innovation in the country. The wipes are available in a fresh citrus scent and multiple packages.

Lysol disinfecting wipes made from 100 per cent plant-based fibres are formulated to kill 99.9 per cent of viruses and bacteria on surfaces around the home. The plastic-free wipe is made from 100 per cent plant-based fibres and comes in a recyclable canister. Like other Lysol disinfecting wipes, Lysol disinfecting wipes made from 100 per cent plant-based fibres clean and disinfect most household hard, non-porous surfaces and kill the COVID-19 virus in 30 seconds, the company said in a press release.

Operating in 42 countries, the Product of the Year award is backed by the votes of more than 40,000 consumers through an online study conducted by Kantar TNS, a global leader in consumer research. According to Kantar research, shoppers are 50 per cent more likely to purchase a product when they know it is endorsed by a large group of people, leading winners to outperform competitors in the category by an average of 38.1 per cent.

“We are thrilled for Lysol disinfecting wipes made from 100 per cent plant-based fibres to be named a 'Product of the Year' winner. Amongst all the challenges posed to consumers over the past two years, we are honoured that Lysol continues to be a trusted brand to help protect against the spread of illness-causing germs. This win reinforces that the product is a go-to favourite for consumers to help keep their loved ones protected,” Jenna Paquin, senior brand manager at Reckitt, said in a statement.
