Pine-Sol can be used as a stain remover for various stains on hard surfaces. To use it, dilute Pine-Sol with water, apply it to the stain, gently scrub, rinse, and wipe the area dry.
Pine-Sol is effective for stains like grease and grime but may not work on all types of stains and surfaces.
Use it as a spray solution for cleaning
Mix Pine-Sol with a small amount of water in a spray bottle, then use this solution to spray onto surfaces requiring cleaning.
Prior to widespread use, ensure you test the solution on an inconspicuous area to guarantee compatibility.
