Top 5 Ways to Clean the Bathroom with Pine-Sol

Mixing Pine-Sol with Water to Make a Multi-Surface Cleaner

To make a multi-surface cleaner, mix ¼ cup of Pine-Sol with one gallon of warm water. Use this solution to clean floors, walls, countertops, and other surfaces in the bathroom. Dip a mop or cloth into the solution and wipe down the surfaces. 

There’s no need to rinse Pine-Sol when using it diluted.

Clean Toilets with Pine-Sol

Pour ½ cup of Pine-Sol into the toilet bowl and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Then, scrub with a toilet bowl brush and flush the toilet. For tough stains, repeat the process or let the solution sit overnight.

Disinfect Your Sink with Pine-Sol

Sinks are one of the germiest areas in the home. You can use Pine-Sol to disinfect any hard, non-porous surface. So, as long as your bathroom sink isn’t natural stone, here’s what to do:

  • Wipe out toothpaste/gunk with a wet wash rag
  • Coat the sink with undiluted Pine Sol and allow it to sit for ten minutes
  • Wipe and rinse

Cleaning Your Bathtub and Shower with Pine-Sol

To clean your bathtub and shower, mix ½ cup of Pine-Sol with one gallon of warm water. Use a microfiber cloth or soft-bristled shower brush to clean the surfaces, paying particular attention to areas with soap scum or mildew. If you have problem areas, reapply the cleaner and leave it for a few minutes before scrubbing. Rinse and then dry with a towel.

Using Pine-Sol for Tough Stains

If you’re dealing with tough stains in your bathroom, Pine-Sol can be a lifesaver. You can use it on hard non-porous surfaces like linoleum or ceramic tile floors, countertops, and toilet bowl seats.

  • Apply undiluted Pine-Sol to the stain.
  • Let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
  • Scrub the area with a brush or sponge
  • Rinse with water.

For stubborn stains, repeat the process a few times. 

Can You Put Pine-Sol in the Toilet Tank?

Don’t put Pine-Sol in the toilet tank – it can damage the rubber and plastic components inside. Stick to using Pine-Sol in the toilet bowl only.

What Else to Consider

Avoid these mistakes when cleaning the bathroom with Pine-Sol.

  • Never mix Pine-Sol with other cleaning products or bleach, as this can create dangerous fumes.
  • Don’t use Pine-Sol on marble countertops. It can etch them, resulting in dull spots.
  • Avoid dipping your dirty rag in your Pine-Sol and water bucket. Instead, rinse it in the sink before rewetting it with your cleaning solution.
