It is dangerous if not cleaned properly. Lysol is surface disinfectant. it's better to use only for hard surfaces like sink, tiles, walls and buckets. Your mother's condition may be obsessive compulsive disorder ( OCD) which can be treated with medication and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Consult me for further details Regards Dr P Uday Kiran.
