Pine-Sol Original Multi-Surface Cleaner
Pine scent. A floor bucket job.
General cleaning takes 125 mL in 8 L of water. Skip the rinse on most floors. No-wax floors still get a water rinse after that mix.
Disinfecting is a different job. Spread it neat, leave a wet film, then rinse. Heavy soil should come off before that step.
The Canada page dates the cleaner to 1929. It prints no factory town and no Made in Canada line. Laundry use is limited to white or colourfast fabric.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Pine-Sol Original made in Canada?
No. The page does not say so. Pine-Sol Original gives metric bucket doses and a start year of 1929, but never a plant.
Which floors need a rinse with Pine-Sol?
Rubber, asphalt and no-wax. Pine-Sol Original wants a rinse on rubber tile, asphalt tile and no-wax floors. Most other floors skip that step.
Does Pine-Sol Original disinfect?
Yes, when used neat. Pine-Sol Original says a 10 minute wet time on hard nonporous surfaces kills SARS-CoV-2. Clear heavy dirt first.
Can I put Pine-Sol in the laundry?
Yes, with limits. Pine-Sol Original allows a grease-spot rub before washing, or 250 mL in the machine. Stick to white or colourfast cloth.
What does 4x cleaning action mean on Pine-Sol?
The page does not say. Pine-Sol Original prints 4x cleaning action beside harder work on soap scum. No lab method is shown.
