Pine-Sol

Pine-Sol

Pine-Sol is a registered trade name of Clorox for a line of household cleaning products. Although the original Pine-Sol formulation is pine oil based, all other cleaners sold under the Pine-Sol brand do not contain pine oil at all.[1] As of 2008, the currently available original formulation lists 8-12% pine oil, alkyl alcohol ethoxylates, sodium petroleum sulfonate and isopropanol as reportable ingredients on the material safety data sheet.[2] Scented Pine-Sol has six different fragrances and was developed in response to consumers who did not like the strong scent of pine oil but still wanted a strong cleaner.

Pine-Sol is mainly used to clean grease and heavy soil stains and is antibacterial (original formula only) on non-porous surfaces. It is not recommended for direct use on wood surfaces (such as untreated hardwood floors) but can be used on hardwood floors coated with a sealant.

This detergent was invented by Harry A. Cole in 1929. The Pine-Sol brand was acquired by Clorox in 1990.

Diane Amos has been their longtime spokeswoman, appearing in commercials since the early 1990s. Recognizable by her long hair and her loving motherly attitude, Amos is known for her catch phrase "That's the power of Pine-Sol, baby!".
