You stink.
Standing there all manly-like in your white t-shirt with your muscled-arms crossed.
You smell like fruit, when you should smell like a lumberjack. —I should never have left Sol Pine

Pine Sol rules and it’s frick’n cheap on sale like a buck sometimes 🙂
which fruit did he smell like? was it watermelon? i love watermelon.
Mr. Clean and Pine Sol BOTH smell awful. I’ve moved on to better smelling things.
and your real problem is what,o.p.? were you frightened by the man from glad as a child, or just generally a douche?
The fruit scents were nice and fresh smelling at first, but they’re just too strong and overpowering after awhile. Pine is strong anyway, so you expect it, and if you don’t mind your house smelling like a christmas tree farted then it’s all good because it works better than the other stuff.
But, there must be something out there that works good and doesn’t knock you over with it’s strong odour.
I personally like the orange mr clean. Some of the crazy scents (like lavender) just get to you after awhile. Orange just smells clean.
I’m waiting for a cleaner that ‘s called Consuela, or Latina Maid. That shit would be awesome.
I’m all about baking soda… Simple, cheap, environmentally friendly, so on and so forth.
ok,
1. who wants their floors to smell like a stanky ol’ lumberjack???
2. lavender is among one of the best smells personally….
3. fever is in the know… baking soda is the shit. it’s not just for bread.
especially if you have a cat
Does baking soda cut through grease? And, doesn’t it leave behind a powdery residue?
Can’t stand lavender…smells too much like bug spray.
you can also use baking soda to clean your teeth V V… i hate those ads that think your house shouldn’t smell like a house but a feckin boudoir. i like the smell of dog and last nights dinner
OMG I can’t even tell you how much I hate the smell of Pine Sol!…but I’ll try. I’ve only ever smelt it in shitty hotels, this shitty/sketchy apartment in London, UK, and gross bathrooms all over the world. Citrus scents are the best, they shouldn’t be allowed to make any other kinds. Just thinking about Pine Sol makes me feel sick!
Baking Soda will absorb grease, not cut it. It’s a safe abrasive, so if you put it on your counter or stove, it’ll clean it without much issue.
It does leave a bit of a residue, but nothing that a damp sponge can’t handle. It also makes a great drain cleaner… toss some baking soda in your drain, plug off the overflow, pour some vinegar in the drain, and the exothermic reaction takes care of any grease, hair, toothpaste and such. If you’ve got a clog, soften it up with a plunge or two before you use it.
Meanwhile, if you want to keep your bedroom smelling nice (especially if you’re a guy who loves red meat) I found this little gem of a product…

oh feck doc that was a riot…i noticed they guy turned his butt away from her. fart away and lift covers and flap
Can’t stang pine sol. And for that reason, I can’t stand gin. To me, they’re one and the same. ugh.
I laugh when people keep scented candles and matches in their bathroom…
nothing like the smell of rose poop to make it all better.
GOP— it takes out all of the fun in a dutch oven…
doc, I was expecting some add for a steak scented air freshener…
mmmmm
but that… that’s taking things a bit far.
