Steps

Learn how to clean a toilet and how Pine-Sol cleans toilets. Cleaning toilets and disinfecting toilet bowls is easier with these tips.

  1. Step 1 Pour Pine-Sol® directly onto a sponge, rag or scrubbing brush.
  2. Step 2 Wipe down the toilet tank exterior, lid, toilet seat and cover, and outside of the bowl, reapplying more cleaner as needed.
  3. Step 3 Rinse each surface with water.
  4. Step 4 Splash Pine-Sol® into the toilet bowl and hit every crevice with your trusty toilet brush. Let it sit for a few minutes and flush.

    TIP: Only have a few minutes to clean? Add a little of your favorite scented Pine-Sol® to the toilet bowl in the morning to keep your bathroom smelling fresh throughout the day.

With a concentrated formula that is 2X as strong* to last 2X as long*, you can use less for the same great clean.
