How to clean countertops
Sticky fingers, food scraps and soap scum do a number on your counters in the kitchen and bathroom. Get your countertops clean and gleaming again with Pine-Sol®.
Instructions
Dilute ¼ cup of Pine-Sol® in one gallon of warm water.
Dip a sponge in the mixture to wipe grease and grime away. Or for everyday mess control, keep the Pine-Sol® mixture in a spray bottle for quick cleaning spritzes.
Scrub crevices in counters with grout with an old toothbrush.
Scrub stubborn messes or stains with full strength Pine-Sol®, using plastic scrubbing pad or cloth. Finish by rinsing with water.
Ingredients
Use Pine-Sol® Lemon Fresh to clean sticky kitchen countertops, and refreshing Pine-Sol® Lavender Clean® for bathroom counters.
