Dive into Pine-Sol hacks, where this multifaceted cleaner does more than just clean. With its unique pine scent and potent properties, Pine-Sol now offers creative solutions for various challenges. This guide reveals innovative ways to maximize Pine-Sol’s potential in your daily routine.
Removes stains
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.
Clean out that hairbrush
To clean your hairbrush, remove hair, prepare a solution of water and Pine-Sol in a sink, soak the brush for 15-30 minutes, gently scrub, rinse thoroughly, and air dry before use
Clean out that sink overflow hole
Water can stagnate in the hole for an extended period, leading to the development of an odor that may not be easy for everyone to identify.
To address this, consider spraying a Pine-Sol and water solution into the opening and allowing it to remain there for a few days.
Bathroom walls and curtains
Apply the same solution to those surfaces, and then, using a facial brush, gently scrub the entire surface, including hard-to-reach areas where dirt tends to accumulate.
Scrub that wash tub
Your washing machine contains corners, crevices, and hidden areas that also require cleaning attention. Utilize the same brush with the solution to thoroughly clean these spaces.
As a result, your washing machine tub will look much more presentable.
Garbage disposals
To clean a garbage disposal with Pine-Sol, mix a solution (1 part Pine-Sol to 3 parts water), pour it down the disposal, let it sit briefly, scrub with a brush, rinse with cold water, and ensure the power is off during the process.
This helps eliminate odors and buildup, leaving the disposal clean and fresh.
Pine-sol and pantyliner hack
Cut the pantyliner in two then soak them in pine-sol. Head on to that nasty garbage can, take out the trash, then use one pantyliner to clean the bottom of that garbage can.
You get to clean, kill nasty stuff, and sanitize the entire can in one go. Stick the pantyliner at the bottom and leave it with that nice smell.
Stuff your shoes with one
With the other pantyliner, stuff it into a shoe that’s developed a bit of a smell. Leave it overnight and that shoe will smell so much better in the morning.
Use it on oily clothes
To remove sunscreen stains from clothes using Pine-Sol, start by blotting or scraping off any excess sunscreen. Then, prepare a solution by mixing Pine-Sol with water, typically in a 1:1 or 1:3 ratio, ensuring you test the mixture on an inconspicuous area first.
Apply this solution to the stain, allowing it to sit briefly before gently scrubbing the stained area. Rinse the garment thoroughly with cold water, checking for stain removal.
If necessary, repeat the process until the stain is gone.
Wipe down the entire couch
Mix Pine-Sol with water in a spray bottle or a bucket, apply the solution to a clean rag, and then use the damp rag to wipe down the surfaces of the couch. Be sure to wring out the rag well so that it’s not overly saturated, as excessive moisture can damage certain upholstery materials.
Additionally, always test the Pine-Sol solution on an inconspicuous area of the couch first to ensure it doesn’t cause any discoloration or damage
Scrub those light switches
Clean light switches using Pine-Sol by preparing a diluted Pine-Sol solution (1 part Pine-Sol to 3 parts water), applying it to that facial brush, then gently scrubbing the grime away.
This process helps remove dirt and germs while safeguarding the electrical components.
Car rims
The rims on your vehicle tend to accumulate brake pad dust, dirt, sand, and various road debris. A brief scrub using the same solution can effectively eliminate these unsightly stains, ensuring your wheels maintain a clean and shiny appearance.
The inside of your microwave
You can clean your microwave with Pine-Sol and a brush by preparing a solution (1 part Pine-Sol to 3 parts water), scrubbing the interior gently with a brush or cloth, and then wiping away any residue.
Ensure the microwave is dry and odor-free before using it again.
Keeps flies away
Pine-Sol can be used as a natural fly repellent due to its strong scent. To use it, mix Pine-Sol with water and spray it in areas where flies are a problem, such as near doors and windows.
However, its effectiveness may vary, and it should be used with caution, following product instructions.
Goes for wasps too
Pine-Sol can be used to deter and potentially repel wasps due to its strong scent. To use it, mix Pine-Sol with water and spray it in areas where wasps are present or to prevent them from nesting.
However, for active wasp nests, it’s safer to consult a professional pest control service for removal.
Always use caution and follow product instructions when using Pine-Sol for wasp deterrence.
Raccoon repellent

However, its effectiveness may vary, so additional measures like securing trash cans and closing off entry points are recommended for more effective raccoon deterrence.
Always use Pine-Sol according to product instructions and exercise caution when using it as a raccoon repellent.
Pet pee deterrent
Pine-Sol can be used as a pet pee deterrent by mixing it with water and spraying it in areas where pets tend to urinate. However, it’s important to address the underlying reasons for pet behavior issues and ensure the Pine-Sol solution is safe for pets.
Removes the smell of pet pee

To prevent COVID-19, it’s best to follow guidelines from health authorities, use approved disinfectants, and read product labels for proper usage instructions.
