Pine-Sol cleaner approved for killing coronavirus
The EPA has approved Pine-Sol original cleaner as a product that can kill coronavirus on frequently used surfaces. An EPA spokeswoman told CNN in a Sunday email that the product had met the criteria for use against the virus. The Clorox company said a third-party laboratory tested Pine-Sol and found it can kill the virus within 10 minutes of being used on nonporous, hard surfaces. Clorox also has 36 other products on the EPAโs list of disinfectants for use against COVID-19, including Clorox bleach, disinfecting bathroom cleaner and disinfecting wipes. Because of overwhelming demand, the company expects it will continue seeing a shortage of wipes and other products into 2021.
