    and fill a spray bottle with Lysol that she would spray around to give the smell of a clean bathroom

    Depending upon the formula of Lysol, that’s actually worse than not doing anything.
    We’ve got a brand called Lyzol and that seems to be the same formula as Lysol, before it got regulated in the US. If this were to be sprayed, I’d consider the area poisoned.

    Lyzol

    This contains some chemical that lingers even if you wash the floor with water afterwards and slowly produces volatile compounds, and stays for > a week. This gives me (and a few other people on quora) a headache. Again, from reports on quora, the smelly substance also tends to jump onto one’s hand, on touching the surface, making it disastrous for cooking.
    Nowadays, I use Dettol disinfectant liquid, which stops smelling after about 1/2 hour of wind.
