Pine-Sol is a registered trade name of the Clorox Company for a line of household cleaning products, used to clean grease and heavy soil stains. Pine-Sol was based on pine oil when it was created in 1929 and during its rise to national popularity in the 1950s.[3] By 2016, Pine-Sol products sold in stores no longer contained pine oil, which was done to reduce costs.[4] The old Pine-oil containing formula is sometimes available online only.[5]
