pine sol

Evergreen-scented disinfectant

Pine-Sol is a brand of household cleaning product, typically a yellow liquid with a strong pine scent used for floors and surfaces.

The name combines pine (from its original pine oil formula) with sol (solution).

Like Kleenex or Band-Aid, it sometimes appears generically for any pine-scented cleaner: The whole house smelled like Pine-Sol.
