Lysol Links with Alex Rodriguez To School Sports Officials on Laundry Sanitizer 

From being amid the intense action on the field to taking flak from fans, the tough role referees and umpires play is often overlooked – and it doesn’t stop when the final whistle blows.

That’s why Lysol, a Reckitt brand, is on a mission to champion sports officials and help them tackle tough-smelly laundry in between games with Lysol Laundry Sanitizer.

‘Ode-r to Refs’

With baseball season in swing, Lysol has teamed with Alex Rodriguez for a second year to recognize these critical sports figures. In “An Ode-r to Refs,” Rodriguez looks to make amends with an umpire from his past and share the secret to beating the stink in post-game uniforms: Lysol Laundry Sanitizer. The laundry additive gets to the root of stink by killing 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria. 

“Referees and umpires are an irreplaceable part of baseball, and their role extends way beyond the nine innings of a game,” said Rodriguez. “I’m teaming up with Lysol to show appreciation for the work officials do on and off the field, from youth sports to the major leagues and help make one part of their job easier – tackling post-game stink in laundry with Lysol Laundry Sanitizer.”

In support of officials nationwide, Lysol is encouraging players, coaches and parents to share a story of appreciation for a referee or umpire in their life and nominate them to win Lysol Laundry Sanitizer.
