Pine O Cleen Liquid Disinfectant
Verified59 reviews
Always used Pine O Clean but the coaster ad is so disgusting I will NEVER buy these products again – Absolutely the most filthy, sickening ad, I turn the channel every time, as I find it nauseating and highly offensive. Terrific example of a brandname shooting itself in the foot. Show details
This review is written as warning for Pine O Cleen disinfectant products (COCONUT SEASALT DISINFECTANT). I used the Coconut seasalt spray on my kitchen and it has ruined the laminate/coating thus creating a horrible discoloration. My concern is their packaging which largely shows icons that the product is SAFE to use for kitchens, with a barely… Read more
seen, small disclaimer below saying it should first be tested for a couple of mines. I have written to Reckitt customer service (consumercare_au@reckitt.com) raising this complaint about their product packaging and potentially misleading consumers. However, they dismissed it.
I thought the product was generally safe and effective as this is a "coconut" and "seasale" ingredients. This is an expensive lesson and I would never use and pay for Reckitt products again, especially after a negative experience with customer service.
PUTRID – By far the most revolting 'scent' I've ever experienced from a consumer product in nearly 40 years on Earth. Smells like the worst combination of part dead body, part excrement and a dash of random toxic chemical fumes mixed to make what I imagine 'Hell' would smell like. Putrid, sickly stench. I really think 'sickly' sums it up, as though you're… Read more
consumed by the smell of death, pain and suffering. The torment of the planet's suffering, concentrated into this hellish item. Begone, satanic liquid!

Decent product and fairly priced (Green Liquid) – Not sure what all the negative reviews are about.. I just recently bought the Eucalyptus version. It smells fresh and clean. It is strong, but that's what you expect from a disinfectant.. Certainly does not smell like cat piss. Certainly makes everything clean. Show details
cannot refill – They sell pine o clean refill bottles but the pine o clean spray bottles you buy cannot be refilled :( you would think this company would have it's act together but unfortunately they do not Show details
Love it, but need to change smell – I have been buying this product for over 30 years. Absolutely love it. Unfortunately recently you have changed the fragrance. When I used the new formula I had to reclean my house. Smelk was not pleasant. Bring back the original Show details

The new smell is horrible – I used the product my whole life and loved it. This new smell is so bad that I need to leave the room after using it. I will find a competitors product and never use this again Show details
Hello Bern, thank you for your review. We are very… Read more
The new scent is terrible – I don’t know who thought changing the clean hospital smell that we have been used to for generations, to this cat wee smell was a smart move. Very disappointed. I will need to find something else to replace it. Show details
Seeking freedom from drift – I write only to ask for an odourless version. I don't use disinfectants, they made me sick. But my neighbours use them and the chemicals fill my home. Please Help!!!

Filthy disgusting washing machine add – This latest washing machine add is filthy and disgusting. Why the hell would you convey such a filthy sick disgusting add like this. Nobody uses their washing machine to wash dog crap and this add looks like some dumb idiot scraping dog turd from the family machine. Remove it and clean up your act.
It stiiiiiiinks – Can't stand the smell it leaves in my house. Who in their right mind on the product development team would put something that reeks that bad to market? Might as well just wipe the house down with asparagus pee. My wife tried this as an alternative to Ajax but that was short lived! Show details
Ruined – Why would you change this product. I have used it for 15 years but won't be buying it again until you change it back to the old smell. It's smells terrible. Show details

Pine O Cleen – Please bring back your original disinfectant. The infused oils leaves stains on most surfaces and is slippery on the floor. The toilet has stains from the disinfectant that need scrubbing to get off. Not Happy Jan!!
Oily Film On Floor Slip Hazard For Me – New Pine O Clean is dangerous for me as I have a disability. It’s leaving an oily film on my floor, I can see marks from the soles of shoes on the tiles and my shoes slip on the floor when I walk. Due to my type of disability I have no sensation in my left foot and leg and I am in danger of falling, this makes it more dangerous for me. I’ve been… Read more
using pine o clean since 1975 when I married, my mother also used it and it smelt like you could trust it too. Why change it when it worked wonderfully all these years? The company will lose so many loyal customers now. I along with many more won’t be buying it again. The old adage applies here (IF IT’S NOT BROKEN DON’T TRY TO FIX IT).
Terrible – Why, just why would you change it. When I smelled it as I was cleaning, I had to look at the label scent to check if I bought the right one.I HATE IT!!!!!! This was the best brand but I will use another brand which I know smells like the original. Please change it back Show details

Totally ruined the original smell – I have been using this for over 50 years, like my grandmother before me. It smells DREADFUL with the new formula. Why change something that we have all loved. Not a fan at all. Will need to find another brand, you have lost this consumer.
Tne Smell Of Pine O clean – I have been using Pine O Clean for 45 years and I have loved it, the fresh and cledan smell. Now it smells disgusting. Please bring back the original or I will be looking for another brand.
Pine o clean disinfectant ruined – How can a company change a product that was great. Whoever thought it was a good idea to add essential oils to this product needs to go back to school. The pine smell has now gone and you are left with an oily texture with a horrible smell. Show details
Dumbing down of a favourite product – The smell has gone Smell memories don’t lie Why would you ? Pine Pineocleen no longer exists Which is why I am searching for a new brand until I see new bottles that say ORIGINAL FORMULA RETURNS

Pine O Cleen Disinfectant – Have used the Pine disinfectant for 30 years & always loved the fresh, clean smell. The new bottles with the essential oils smell disgusting & the smell doesn’t last like the old formula. Will have to change brands unless they go back to the old formula. Show details
Pine O Cleen – I recently opened a new bottle of pine o cleen, I don’t know what you have done to this product but it is not a smell I want in my home. I have been buying this product for over 40 years and it was always used by my mother as well. So unless this product is fixed will not be purchasing it again. Show details
No longer smells like PINE – It used to have a strong pine smell that felt clean. Now it has a weak smell nothing like pine! False advertising 101! The bottle doesn’t list ingredients. Change it back or lose business. Show details

Bring back the old pineocleen without the 'essential oils'. I poured it down the drain! – I have tried sourcing the old pine o cleen from several places but have failed to find it. What were you thinking with the new smell? It gave me an instant headache and I have thrown out several bottles.

New smell is revolting – I bought one bottle of Pine smelling Pine O Clean which is use by date Feb 2023 which is just what I wanted to wipe down everything coming into my home, great; then I decided to buy another bottle....one for the laundry, one for the kitchen. The new bottle just opened smells horrible, like bad fly spray. It is also expiry dated Feb 2023 but in… Read more
small writing says Made in Portugal and is in a slightly different bottle. Don’t know what Portuguese Pine smells like, but this is really horrible. I bought a premium product for a premium price and am terribly disappointed. Not good enough Reckitt Benckiser.
This is not perfect NOW! The smell of pine o clean is dreadful! – what has happened to Pine O Clean Antibacterial Disinfectant! The "new" smell is so aweful I have tipped the contents down the drain! Can't stand it and it seems to be oily! I am on the hunt for a new pineoclean smelling disinfectant. Show details
New Pine O Clean smell – The change in this product is dreadful. I have used Pine O Clean for many years, it is a product that you rely on, however now find the smell so awful I will not be able to use it. Original recipe please. Show details
New Pino o Clean with Essential Oils – New Pine-O-Clean Now with added essential oils. I got the pine flavoured one like I have for 20 plus years. This stuff STINKS (actually smells like the furniture polish Mr Sheen so not a fresh clean scent. Won't be buying it until original is returned. Very annoyed and not game to try the other ones. Show details
Not user friendly – The 1.25 litre disinfectant bottle is very difficult to use as the plastic is way too thin for the weight of the bottle. You can not grip it properly and it nearly drops out of your hands every time you try to pour from the flimsy container. Very bad design and it user friendly at all. Show details
Not anti viral disinfectant – After searching the net a lot, reading one incorrect note on this liquid, I chased the supplier twice. As expected, it could not say if Pineocleen kills viruses. I note that the bottle only refers to e.coli and staphylococcus, which are bacteria; NOT VIRUSES. I can only ascertain that bleach (properly handled), methylated spirits (alcohol)… Read more
and Glen 20 spray kill viruses, as well as hand sanitizers with at least 70% alcohol.
Take care everyone, anti bacterial DOES NOT MEAN ANTI VIRAL.
