MONDAY, Sept. 21, 2020 (HealthDay News) — Pine-Sol’s original cleaner has been added to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s list of products that can kill the new coronavirus on frequently used surfaces.
Tests by a third-party laboratory that showed the disinfectant can kill the virus within 10 minutes of being used on hard, nonporous surfaces, according to a Clorox Company news release, CNN reported.
To disinfect against the new coronavirus, customers should apply full-strength Pine-Sol with a clean sponge or cloth on a surface, wait 10 minutes, then rinse, the company said. For heavily soiled surfaces, preclean to remove excess dirt.
Users should follow product instructions and pay attention to how long it should be applied to the surface being cleaned, the EPA said.
