I see that some folks use PineSol or other brands of pine cleaner in their wash. Might that be a good alternative to chlorine bleach since they both kill germs? Any thoughts? |

Pine oil is a decent disinfectant, but product has to be made from enough pure pine oil and have high enough content. Key is to look (as always) for an EPA registration number on container.
Like Lysol, Pine-Sol has changed formulas over years (largely due to decreasing sources of pine oil), so not all products are EPA registered. Those that are may in whole or part have other chemicals or substances that provide disinfectant action. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_oil#P... www3.epa.gov/pesticides/chem_sea... Many pine products make claims above cleaning and deodorizing, but no longer regarding disinfecting. www.amazon.com/King-Pine-... Keep in mind most pine cleaners that are disinfectants are meant for hard non-porous surfaces. If you want extra cleaning action (such as using Lestoil or whatever in the wash), that will work, but for sanitation you might want to go with chlorine bleach. |

I don't know if she still does or not, but my Aunt Julie used to use Pine-Sol (or Texize Pine Power) in her commodes, and frequently in the laundry, especially if there was anything greasy or oily. This practice seems to be very common in the deep south. |

So, just to make sure I got this right there`s a recall of PineSol because of drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa?
Isn`t this the same bacteria they found in The Laundress laundry products in the other thread? Isn`t PineSol a disinfectant cleanser that contains nowadays a quaternary ammonium compound that should be avoided at all cost because it is known to create super bugs? How can bacteria even if they`re drug resistant survive in an undiluted disinfectant cleanser or a laundry product which is full of toxic preservatives? Which contaminated raw materials could PineSol and The Laundress possibly share and what else will turn out to be affected in the near future? |

Like Clorox Pine-Sol has a number of products sold under that brand name that are not disinfectants. It is those "household cleaners" that were infected with bacteria.
www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2023... Household cleaners are no different than laundry detergents or other liquid products. They contain preservatives that to a certain extent will prevent growth of bacteria, mould or whatever, but won't do so forever or in extreme cases. |
