I won't be using this regularly. Just when multiple household members are sick, to reduce spread. If the lysol claims are accurate, then hopefully it kills the surface bacteria better. If not, then I guess it's just like any other disinfectant placebo like @brunes said lol.

Washing clothes has enough effect, this is not necessary just like washing your hands is enough. If the placebo effect makes you feel better than by all means.

From the CDC on the flu for example:

Person to Person
People with flu can spread it to others. Most experts think that flu viruses spread mainly by droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze, or talk. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby (usually within about 6 feet away) or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Less often, a person might get flu by touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes.

Laundry can be managed with existing procedures. Although influenza viruses can persist on porous materials, the transfer of these viruses from sheets, bedding, and clothing is not as efficient a process compared to that involving a nonporous surface.
Handle soiled clothing and linens during collection with a minimum amount of agitation.
Custodial workers and laundry personnel should follow established facility safety procedures (minimum recommendation is for glove use) when handling soiled linens.
Hand washing or hand hygiene should be done after sorting laundry and adding the clothing and linens to the washer.
Use detergents, laundry additives, and appropriate water temperature as per routine laundry procedures. Follow manufacturer instructions for detergent and bleach use.
Use a temperature setting for drying clothes and linens appropriate for the fabrics in the load.
