Pine-Sol is a registered trademark of Clorox for household cleaning product lines, used to clean heavy fats and soil stains. Pine-Sol is based on pine oil when it was made in 1929 and during the rise of national popularity in the 1950s. However, by 2016, Pine-Sol products sold in stores no longer contain pine oil as a result of rising commodity costs.

Histori
Pine-Sol detergent was invented by Harry A. Cole of Jackson, Mississippi in 1929.
In 1948, businessman Robert Earnest "Dumas" Milner acquired Magnolia Chemical, Jackson, Mississippi supplier of Pine-Sol. Milner placed Howard S. Cohoon in charge of a company with six employees: three salesmen and three who produced the product. In the next five years Cohoon turned the company into a multimillion dollar operation that sold 20 million bottles across the US and 11 other countries. Cohoon modernized the operation from bottling and manual labeling to full automation. According to Cohoon, at that time pine oil was produced from old yellow pine stumps previously thought to be worthless. After Pine-Sol became national, Milner Company started a national radio advertising campaign starting with Robert Q. Lewis's show in 1952. In 1955 the Milner company had purchased Perma-Starch, Illiopolis, Illinois and in 1959 Milner had grown into a TV Advertising Package a daytime worth of $ 1.5 million and a $ 100,000 radio purchase shared between Pine-Sol and Perma-Starch.
In January 1956, the Federal Trade Commission ordered the Milner Company to stop and stop advertising campaigns related to false claims about the effectiveness of Pine-Sol compared to other pine-containing products. Milner Company previously agreed to stop and stop several other false claims about the nature of the bacteria and Pine-Sol bactericide in March 1951. In February 1963, Dumas Milner Company, including Pine-Sol facility in Jackson, MS and Perma-Starch plant in Illiopolis, IL , taken over by Wayne, New Cyanamid, based in New York for a $ 17 million stake. Howard S. Cohoon remains in charge of the division.
The Pine-Sol brand was acquired by Clorox from American Cyanamid's Shulton Group in 1990. The 2005 version of pine-based pine oil purge 8% to 10% is acidic (pH 3-4) and can be used to remove bacteria from the household surface. However, some products now contain bases (pH 10-11).
There is also a dispute between trademark owners Pine-Sol and Lysol trademark holders for potential consumer confusion related to the fact that both ended up "sol" and used for cleaning. These issues spawned negotiations, agreements, and lawsuits between several companies involved for many years from the 1960s through the late 1990s.

Formulation
Although the original Pine-Sol formulation is pine-based oil, not all cleaners sold under the Pine-Sol brand contain pine oil. In 2008, the material safety data sheet for the "Pine-Sol Brand Cleaner 1" cleaning formulations contained 8-12% pine oil, 3-7% alkyl alcohol ethoxylate, 1-5% sodium petroleum sulfonate and 1-5% isopropyl alcohol. In 2006, The Clorox Company's product line included "Clorox Commercial Pine-Sol" Brand Cleaners, with the same ingredients and concentrations as "Original Pine-Sol Brand 1." Since January 2013, Clorox has also created a product called Genuine Pine-Sol Multi-Surface Cleaner that includes glycolic acid while lacking pine oil.
In January 2014, Clorox announced that Pine-Sol products no longer contain pine oil, due to their limited supply and increased costs. In response to consumer demand for the original formula, Clorox provides products containing 8.75% Pine oil to online shoppers, but says that it will not be sold in stores.
According to Milner's 1950s executive Howard S. Cohoon, producer of Pine-sol, pine oil is only formed on large stumps of scrap wood left on the ground for "at least 20 years." It's not found in live pine trees. When asked about the risk of running out, Cohoon predicted in 1954 that there was "enough to last for 35 years." He is not worried about the flaws because he claims pine oil can be produced synthetically.
