GROSS

Pinesol has been my go to cleaner ever since i moved into my own place over 10 years ago. This NEW "original scent" made me sick to my stomach! I will not be using it again. If it isn't broke don't fix it. I would have hoped they would learn something from others (like Coca-cola) that changed their product when it was enjoyed by so many already. BIG MISTAKE guys

The new smell is OVERPOWERING!!!

I could probably handle the perfume like quality of the new smell if it was not so overpowering. I mopped my floor before bed one evening and I was completely overwhelmed by the smell. I went to bed with a horrible headache that night. I cannot use the recommended amount due to the smell. I don't think the product works if you only use a few drops, but that is all the smell I can handle without getting a horrible headache. Please dial back the "long lasting" part of the smell or I will have no choice, but to find a new product to clean my home with.

VERY DISAPPOINTED-Wish I could give the new scent a ZERO!

I was shocked today when I opened a new bottle of Pine Sol, poured it in my toilet, and smelled the "new" scent. It is HORRIBLE. Nothing like the old. I will NOT purchase it again. I have been a loyal customer for many years, as was my mother. I can not understand how anybody would approve of this change. The fake pine doesn't cut it in my house. I want the clean scent that it used to have. I read another comment about it having to comply with CA standards. Well, I live in WI and don't think I should have to deal with these issues. I already have to deal with reformulated gas here, don't make me deal with reformulated Pine Sol. A satisfied customer tells 1. A dissatisfied customer tells 100. Word of mouth is very powerful.

longer lasting scent is YUCKY!

I love cleaning with pine-sol because of the clean pine smell. I also have always appreciated that the scent does not linger, but dissipates naturally. The new "longer-lasting scent" original pine-sol is awful and smells nothing like the original. I will not use this product, ever, and have dumped the bottle I bought. Please give us back the original formula, or at least offer us the choice of one or the other!

"Original" Pine-Sol is now mis-labeled

We ran out of our supply of Pin-Sol and restocked at our local supermarket only to find the original scent had been changed. We should have been forewarned on the label. There are few perfumes that I can tolerate...especially artificial scents. They actually nauseate me, and this one lingers and lingers. The original pine scent of Pine-Sol is about the only one I actually enjoy smelling. This new scent is just wrong. We had to give the bottle to a local thrift store in hopes that it might still be useful to someone. I'm sure it still cleans as well as the origianal. I suspect the change was made to increase profit. Well... not from us anymore. I hope someone at Pine-Sol is collecting sales data on the "Original" product. It is used slowly, so a drop in sales may not be immediately evident, but until the label says "Original Pine Scent", we aren't buying.

So disappointed this has been changed

I am 54 years old and my mother always used Pine-Sol. It was such a clean smell. When I married, over 32 years ago, I too used Pine-Sol and nothing else. I felt my home was clean and I could smell it. Anyone who came by would comment on how clean the house smelled. The other day I needed more Pine-Sol and when I got it home and started cleaning I could not figure out why I smelled something unpleasant. So I emptied my water, and started over. Imagine my surprise when I figured out it was my beloved Pine-Sol that was unpleasant. I was ready to return it to the store when I noticed the label saying "last longer". Once again something that is supposed to be improved has been ruined. I am so upset by the change. I absolutely hate the smell and am looking for a new cleaner. Please consider bringing back the tried and true, great smelling, Pine-Sol.

The only original Pine-sol, not the new longer lasting scent, was a true long lasting pine scent that had deep cleaning features.

I can remember my mother cleaning with Pine-sol and the smell of clean filled the entire house and would last for quite sometimes. Pine-sol became one of our family traditions that have been passed from generation to generation- three generations now. Now that you've changed from the original to the new longer lasting scent I can't pass that tradition on because it's not the original. The new scent is not a bad scent just not the scent that reminds me of home and family traditions. I realize that everything must change and everything has a season. I'm saddened to see the season of the original Pine-sol come to an end. Do you think Pine-sol, the original can make a comeback for those who grew up with it? Or be offered in addition to the new longer lasting scent for those who like the new scent?

reply from Pine-Sol

To all of you who have asked us to bring back the original Pine-Sol scent, we want you to know we are listening. The reason we switched from the original scent was because of reduced supplies of pine oil. But our teams are working to find out if it’s possible to bring back the scent you love, at least in limited distribution. We will have more information soon. Thanks for speaking up.

Not the same - but still great

yes, the new original is not the same as the old version. But, I actually really like the way it smells. I like the old version too. But the new one smells clean to me and I really like it. Plus, it does still disinfect if used properly. I love all the Pine-sol versions! They all smell great! Lemon is the only one I don't purchase. I have all the current scents in my Arsenal right now, except lemon and mandarin.

Oregon grandmother gives up after decades.

OMG, I just bought a whole gallon of Original Pinesol. I have bought this product for decades, and have always loved the really clean pine smell. But this "New Improved" version STINKS!! It no long smells of pine at all, but of a resinous offensive balsam fir. I used it once and am dumping the whole rest of the gallon because I can't stand the smell. I have already bought another brand of pine cleaner. You have lost my business by trying to improve on success.

Bring back the original scent!

I miss the original scent!! The new, improved scent is NOT an improvement! It is overwhelming and sickeningly sweet. I loved the smell of the original pine-sol, it brought me back to my childhood. I use pine-sol to clean my whole house, and it is a great cleaner that I feel safe using around my toddler and pets, but what made it stand out for me was the original scent. I may have to consider switching cleaners...
