Is Xtra Pine worth a dime?

I love to clean with pine cleaner and I'm always searching for different brands to try. Any scoop about this product would be appreciated.

Pine Cleaner

I use industrial-grade "Commercial Solutions PineSol" available at janitorial supplies. Supermarket PineSol has a pine oil content of 6% or 8% I think; the commercial grade has 15%. It makes all the difference in the world. The "cheapie" pine cleaners have as little as 4% pine oil. Read the labels. The higher the pine oil content, the better the cleaner.

I love the stuff, and love its clean smell. Almost as much as I love the smell of Spik-n-Span powdered floor cleaner that my Mom used to use. Do they still make that stuff? It smelled GREAT. I haven't seen it in stores in a long time.

Spic and Span Powder

is available at ACE Hardware and Publix Supermarket here in Florida.
I love it for the floors and the scent is just wonderful!

Oh, sorry for the spelling

of "Spic and Span." As I said, I haven't seen it in years. There are neither Ace Hardware nor Publix Supermarkets but surely one of the big hardware stores -- OSH, HomeDepot etc., would carry it.

You never saw Pine Sol in our house...

My mother says "It smells like public toilets!". My sister says to her "That's because you work in nursing!".
