Pinol and Pinalen?

Jody
8 years ago

I am guessing Pinol is probably pretty similar to Pinesol, but has anyone ever used the Pinalen? Is it supposed to be for clothes?

I have seen both at my local mexican grocery store. The Pinol is pretty easy to figure out, especially since it has a mop on the label that is all in spanish, but there are no visual clues on the Pinalen label.

If I keep this up long enough, I might actually learn some spanish.

Anyway, if anyone can tell me about the products: if they work, do you like them....

    Jody I think Pinalen is an all purpose cleaner, floors, sinks, ect, and can be added to laundry to remove odors and freshen, but not a laundry detergent per say where Pinol is a laundry detergent, the Pinol comes in powder and liquid. As for the mop on the Pinol, I don't know, I know its a laundry detergent, mine doesn't have a pic of a mop, but maybe there's a Pinol for floors also. As for scent I don't know about the Pinalen, but my Pinol, I have 2different scents and neither smell like pinesol to me, but they do have a great herbal scent.

      Jody, I did a little checking there is a Pinol laundry detergent and a Pinol all purpose cleaner.

      The pinalen is for sure a multi purpose cleaner and has directions that it can be added to laundry to freshen.Hope this helps.

      Ok thanks. They are pretty inexpensive cleaners so I thought I might give them a try. For 89 cents a bottle I can at least mop the floors with them.

      Some might say that Pinalen is better than Pinseol because it actually contains pine oil. Pinesol removed pine oil from its formula a few years ago
