Not all Pine-Sol is the same. One version does a very different job.
Original Pine-Sol and the scented versions aren’t just different smells. They’re formulated for different uses.
🌲 Original Pine-Sol
Heavy duty cleaning. Contains pine oil and glycolic acid.
Used when the goal is to kill bacteria and viruses, not just clean the surface.
🌸 Lavender Pine-Sol (and Citrus! 🍋)
Great for everyday cleaning, grease, and leaving a fresh scent.
Milder formulas suited for routine maintenance and fragrance, not heavy sanitation work.
So in practice:
Original Pine-Sol = disinfection and sanitation
Lavender & Citrus = everyday maintenance
Next time you’re on a Costco run here in Okinawa, it’s worth knowing the difference.
Lustre Housekeeping does the research so you don’t have to.👍
