(MENAFN- PR Newswire)

The
interactive game day experience is educating fans on how to erase 99.9% of viruses and bacteria††
in the air with Lysol® Air Sanitizer as they cheer on their favorite team

PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether at a watch party or in the Stadium – shouting can produce up to 100,000 droplets in just one minute†. As fans cheer on their favorite teams, Lysol, a Reckitt brand, is helping tackle the viruses and odor-causing bacteria expelled into the air with Lysol Air Sanitizer.

This weekend, Lysol will bring The Germ Zone experience to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in Champions Lane, the Crimson Tide's pregame fan fest area, located outside the northwest gates of Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium. At Saturday's game, fans can enter The Germ Zone booth and sing their team's fight song loud and proud, as VR technology depicts the virus and bacteria droplets that are expelled into the air around them. As fans' chants and cheers end, Lysol Air Sanitizer will digitally – and physically – kill 99.9% of the airborne virus and bacteria†† droplets that they expelled, while eliminating odors* in the air.

"You aren't always thinking about the germs in the air around you. The Germ Zone is a unique opportunity to educate consumers on the importance of air sanitization while providing them with the essential products to do so, said Benoit Veryser, Vice President of US Marketing for Lysol at Reckitt. "Scent alone can't sanitize, with Lysol Air Sanitizer, you can kill rather than mask, 99.9%
of the viruses and bacteria we expel into the air
around us."

Lysol enlisted actor, producer, and author

"That's why Lysol Air Sanitizer is essential all season long. It not only tackles odor-causing bacteria but also eliminates 99.9% of airborne viruses and bacteria, leaving the air sanitized from kickoff to the final whistle!"
