| susiewho's Full Review: Pine-Sol Orange Energy All Purpose Cleaner |
Pine-Sol is a product that I've used forever, now they have Pine Sol Orange Energy All Purpose Cleaner. I like the orange scent in things so I tried this out. I also liked that it was all purpose. I don't like to carry 50 products around the house when I'm cleaning so if something works on almost everything I use it.
Pine Sol Orange Energy All Purpose Cleaner has a much better scent then the regular Pine sol, it wasn't at all medicinal it had a light orange scent. A clean smell not like a hospital smell which the original has.
To use fill a bucket with warm/hot water and then add 1/4 of a cup of Orange Energy to the water . Its great for *toilet bowls, pet areas, diaper pails, Tubs, and showers. Pine-Sol Orange Energy is safe for septics. We are extremely careful with our septic system so this was a plus. And, it is safe for no wax floors, walls, sinks, countertops, range hoods, stoves, refrigerators, microwaves, bathtubs, shower stalls, toilet bowls, garbage bins, pet areas, and diaper pails so its almost all purpose since its not meant for hard wood surfaces.
We have pets one with bathroom issues but this does not have a bleach or disinfectant so I can't use it to do a really good clean up on his mistakes.* just a note if you have pets and use this in your toilet bowl, put the lid down or close the door. My pets are Chihuahuas and cannot reach the toilet bowl so it isn't an issue for me but just something to think about.
The label says avoid using it doing "laundry, dishes, hardwood floors and cabinets, cars, and carpets." Pine-sol Orange energy All purpose Cleaner is meant to take dirt from your mop and pull it to the bottom of the bucket, so that it won't spread the dirt back on to the surface you are trying to clean. This doesn't make much sense to me since I would tend to empty the bucket and fill with clean water once the water gets dirty anyway. When you keep putting the mop back in the pail it stirs up the dirt. The theory Pine SOl is promoting is that the dirt will sink to the bottom of the pail and you needn't empty and refill with clean water.I suggest 1/4 cup to gallon of water for general cleaning. You can use Orange Energy full force where needed. The label tells you to test painted surfaces first. I used it on my baseboards with and I have to admit I never tested it. I'm sort of impatient so I usually get to cleaning and I'm on a roll, I don't wait around for test results or I'll loose my energy and interest.This product is not a disinfectant but I have many more things I use for germ warfare.
I likeit best for its degreasing action on oven hoods, my toaster oven, the kitchen floors and anywhere I need grease cutting action.
Instructions:
use water solvable strength or full strength
does not contain bleach (I'm dangerous with bleach)
You can use Pine-Sol Orange Energy on vinyl and fiberglass. (Good for boat owners),acrylic, porcelain,tile, synthetic and marble, metal/chrome fixtures and power tools-great for the guys! It also cuts grease and smoke. So all in all it has a place in the home but although it says all purpose it isn't quite all purpose and does not disinfect.
EYE IRRITANT: Do not get in eyes. For sensitive skin or prolonged use , wear rubber gloves.
FIRST AID: EYES- immediately rinse with water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists call a doctor.
Warnings:If Swalloed- Drink a glassful of water and call a doctor or poison control center
