I don't think you have to worry about Dawn, or lysol. The former is harmless since it is just soap. Will probably have a bit of mineral salts, glycerine , glycerol and of course fatty acids. The latter has organic compounds (NOT organophosphate) that have aroma (I think they are called aromatic compounds derived from benzene)

The only concern , from what I know, is that it can cause severe skin irritation in high concentration. Once diluted it should be harmless.

Studies have shown that upto 12 years of age organophosphates can affect children's development ( no need for details , I hope). The worst effect is when they are 1-2 years old and gets progressively less and less as they grow. Even though your son is almost at the upper end of the range I will try to avoid using it 'inside' the house since it may not break down/wash away as fast as if it is outside.

I hope it helps.

Good luck.
