Cleaning Bathroom Tile Floors
Cleaning your bathroom tile floors using Pine Sol is very easy and effective. All you have to do now is follow some simple instructions, and you will be able to clean your bathroom tile floors in no time.
The first and foremost thing is to collect a bucket and fill it with a gallon of water and 1/4 cup of pine sol. Stir it, and your solution is ready to use.
Now, use a chamois mop, soak it into the mixture and wipe down the tile floors. If your bathroom has a textured tile floor, then you can use an old toothbrush to get into the grout lines and clean them properly.
Well, if you have a dirty floor, don’t forget to change the water solution often to prevent dirt and grime from spreading.
Finally, rinse the area with plain water using the chamois mop. Once you clean the tile floors, take a dry cloth and wipe down the floor to buff dry the area.

Cleaning the Toilet with Pine Sol
Pine Sol is an acidic cleaner, and that’s why using it for cleaning toilets is a great idea. You may find it a bit challenging if you have never used this cleaner to clean the toilet. But trust me, once you get used to it, you will find it the easiest task ever.
You have to use full-strength pine sol to clean toilet bowls and urinals. You first need to pour a generous amount of this cleaner around the bowl and let it sit for a few minutes. You can also use spray bottles for spraying such cleaning products.
Now scrub the toilet bowl from the inside using a toilet cleaner brush. You will see that all the dirt and grime will start coming off easily. Once you are done with scrubbing, flush the toilet so that all the cleaner goes down the drain.
Now take a bucket and fill it with a gallon of water. Then pour 1/4 cup of pine sol in it and mix it properly. It’s time to wear gloves, though you can wear them earlier.
However, take a cloth and soak it in the solution. Then start cleaning outside the toilet, like the seat and lid. Wipe it down thoroughly, so no dirt or grime is left behind.
Finally, take a clean cloth and some warm water to wipe down the entire toilet so the cleaner is removed completely.
Cleaning Showers and Walls
You can also clean the shower area and walls using pine sol. But before cleaning, clear out all the shampoo, soap, and other items from the shower. It will help you to clean every corner of the shower area easily.
Now, take a bucket and mix 1/8 cup of pine sol with 1/2 gallon of warm water. Then using a sponge, apply this solution to the shower area. Start from the top and then move to the bottom.
Clean the whole area, including shower heads, drains, walls, doors, and others. You can also take the help of a spray bottle. For removing any tough mineral deposits, use undiluted pine sol directly on it.
Finally, wash the area immediately with water. And wipe dry the area with a clean microfiber cloth. Ensure you don’t leave the cleaner too long on surfaces like porcelain and others because it might damage the material.
Cleaning the Bathtub
If you are looking for an effective and easy way to clean your bathtub, then using Pine Sol is the best option for you. But how would you do that? Let’s have a look at it.
First, stop the drain and fill the tub with two gallons of warm water. Then add half a cup of pine sol and mix it well. After that, scrub the tub using a scrub brush or sponge.
Rub every corner of the tub, including the faucets. If you find any stubborn stains, use full-strength pine sol directly over the area and scrub properly to remove them. Now, let it sit for five minutes.
After five minutes, drain the tub and wash the area with a water rinse. And that’s it! Your bathtub is now clean and sparkling.
Cleaning Other Items in the Bathroom Using Pine Sol
Besides the area mentioned above, there are other things to clean inside the bathroom. So, if you have them in your bathroom too, then follow these:
Trash Can: It’s really very easy to clean a trash can using Pine Sol. Just take a clean cloth and pour a generous amount of pine sol into it.
Now, use that cloth and scrub the trash can’s entire surface (inside and outside). It’s safe to do so if you rinse it with water after each use and allow it to air dry.
Sink: The process of cleaning the sink using Pine Sol is similar to that of cleaning the bathtub. Just stop the drain and fill it with warm water. Mix 1/4 cup of this cleaner with per gallon of water.
Now, use a scrubber or sponge to scrub the entire surface of the sink. Follow it with rinsing the sink with water.
Concrete Counter: First, quickly sweep the area to remove dust and clutter. Then fill a bucket with warm water and dilute it with 1/4 cup of pine sol.
Use a push broom or dip the hard scrubbing brush to scrub the counter and deep clean it. Finally, hose down the area with water and let it air dry.
But if you have light or colored concrete, test an inconspicuous area with the solution before using it on the main area.
Mirror: The thing we cannot unsee after entering the bathroom is the reflection of ourselves in the mirror. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t clean it. In fact, cleaning the mirror is very easy using pine cleaner. You just need to take a microfiber cloth and pour some diluted pine sol into it.
Now, wipe down the surface of the mirror using that cloth. Don’t forget to buff dry the mirror using paper towels. That’s it! Your bath room mirror is clean now and will give you a clear reflection.
Note: It would be best for you if wear gloves while cleaning with pine sol
