If you are holding/hoarding onto several bottles of this wonderful stuff, please transfer into a glass container.
The plastic bottle will bore a hole and slowly leak!

Malcolm, it's still being made by Clorox Co. - I just bought some at Meijer a couple weeks ago.
Have had the plastic bottle develop leaks a couple different times in the past few years.

Funny you should mention this. I threw out a leaking bottle of Lestoil a few days ago! Should we be worried it eats through plastic, LOL?

Naw,
that's why it cleans so well! Somebody TELL me it's not discontinued. Lestoil's been a staple around here since I was in short pants.

"There's less toil, with Lestoil."
Hoarding Lestoil
The words to the Lestoil jingle goes:
Lestoil, Lestoil, the liquid detergent as modern as today. There's Less toil with Lestoil, so clean the Lestoil way. Use it for your laundry and your painted walls, floors and woodwork anything at all. Wash away dirt & grease and oil it's so easy when you use Lestoil. Just something of trivia that remains in my mind. I use lestoil for everything that needs cleaning. It's the best cleaner invented. My dad delivered home heating oil for his whole life. When he got oil on his uniforms that soaked through to his longjohns and beyond my mom pretreated his clothes with lestoil as well as added 1/2 a cup of it with either Duz white soap, Blue Dot Duz detergent, Oxydol or All (from the 50's to the 2000's as soap & detergent evolved) to the wash water and amazingly oil was gone clothes were clean no odors of the lestoil were left on the clothes. There were 5 kids growing up in our house and lestoil was a staple cleaning item for everything except when someone got sick then out came the CN disinfectant. Because you can't spell clean without CN.

Havent bought a bottle of that in a few years. Seems to be hit and miss seeing it on the shelves sometimes.
They had another singy jingle that went " It's so easy when you use lestoil"

Lestoil panic
Lestoil is an absolute necessity, I get nervous it is being discontinued because it is getting hard to find.

I Am Sorry, Y'all!
But next to pine oil cleaners, the other scent I cannot abide is Lestoil! *LOL*
This coming from a person who is working their way through a cache of vintage Lysol disenfectant (in the brown bottle)! *LOL* Even there if one hadn't bought a job lot and really need to work though a stash of cleaning/laundry products that would make a general store owner proud, would have gone out and purchased something else.
Vintage Fels Naptha soap cleans grease, oils etc in both the laundry and around the home without that foul aroma of Lestoil.
Just my two NY cents!
*LOL*

I used to use Lestoil on really bad grease stains, like motor oil. I would never use it in my ultra-low water use Frigidaire because it produces a lot of suds---and I'd never get the scent out, given how little water is in the tub for rinses.
I recall a neighbor with a BOL early '60's Maytag (with the agitator used in Maytag wringers) who used Pine Sol in addition to detergent in every load. Their house and clothes reeked of the stuff. The washer drained into a sump pump, so the whole basement smelled of Pine Sol all the time, too.

Laundress, is that not because you worked or trained for nursing? Both my mother and sister hate Pine Sol and Lestoil because they "smell like public toilets". When I took nursing classes I was beginning to think the same thing. My sister says "that's because you work in nursing". It seems that when you have anything to do with nursing, the world just seems different than before.
Pine Sol
It's like a "pine explosion". My Hoover FloorMate warns against using pine sol or pine oil based cleaners in the machines because it can damage the rubber seals. Now I wouldn't bet my life on it but it's something to be wary on. So I don't.

Cheap Public Toilets
Yes, that pretty much sums it up right there! Cheap motel, public and otherwise restroom/public accomodations. *LOL*
Is if from nursing? Have no idea as the "hospital scent" does not bother me at all. To this day can walk into the place and not miss a beat, even when nursing staff is cleaning up a patient from a rather explosive BM. Still never knew any hospital that used pine based cleaners.
