SEATTLE, WA and PARSIPPANY, NJ (April 22, 2021) – As baseball returns to the Pacific Northwest, the Seattle Mariners and Reckitt, the makers of Lysol, are excited to announce their new partnership. Enhanced disinfection protocols will be introduced at T-Mobile Park for the 2021 season and beyond. Today’s announcement follows the commitment by Reckitt with MLB, announced in October 2020.

This partnership comes at a time when nearly two-thirds of people say that the pandemic has been disruptive to their daily lives. From the Trident Deck to the T-Mobile ‘Pen, the Mariners key priority is establishing enhanced disinfection practices for fans, players and staff as they welcome them back to T-Mobile Park. Mariners will rely on Lysol’s industry-leading, 100-plus years of germ-kill expertise and innovation, which will be at the forefront of creating enhanced disinfection measures at the ballpark for fans, players and staff alike.

“In order to be able to fully enjoy the game, fans need to feel reassured while at the ballpark,” said E. Yuri Hermida, Executive Vice President of North America Hygiene at Reckitt. “It is great to welcome the Mariners as the latest MLB partner. We are looking forward to working with them to enhance the T-Mobile Park experience, so their fans feel confident, and can focus on the live action in front of them.”

With Reckitt, the Mariners are putting their confidence in a science-backed, strategic approach designed with Lysol, that can offer additional reassurance to fans and staff through the season and beyond. The partnership includes:

• Supply of EPA-approved disinfection products, including those proven to be effective against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, to use across areas where germs are most prevalent.
• Rigorously developed protocols applied to key high-touch, high-traffic areas to help protect from the spread of germs on surfaces.
• Dispensers with Lysol Disinfecting Wipes around the ballpark for fans to use.

“Protecting our fans, players and staff is the most important consideration as we open the 2021 season. Over the course of the last 12 months, we have completely updated our operations to ensure we are using science-based industry best practices in response to COVID-19. Partnering with Lysol is an important part of our ability to welcome fans back to T-Mobile Park,” said Trevor Gooby, Seattle Mariners Senior Vice President of Ballpark Operations.

Through this and other partnerships like it, Lysol is committed to doing what it takes to protect fans and help them enjoy the game they love.
