Pine-Sol vs. Laundry Stains
Next time stinky socks, grease stains or dirty dog beds hit your laundry basket, erase odors and dial up the clean with Original Pine-Sol®.
Instructions
For powerful spot treatment and stain removal, use a sponge or cloth to rub full-strength Original Pine-Sol® into the stain, grease spot or dirt mark.
Wash according to the garment's care label, either in your washing machine or by hand.
Add ½ cup of Original Pine-Sol® along with your regular detergent to boost a load of white or colorfast laundry. If you're not sure if your fabric is colorfast, test an inconspicuous area first.
Ingredients
Use Original Pine-Sol® instead of scented variety to clean fabrics, laundry and carpets.
