Pine-Sol Original Multi-Surface Cleaner

The scoop

Keep an eye on the cleaning supplies shelf, because this Pine-Sol two-pack has been marked down and won’t likely stick around at this price for long.

This is the Original Pine-Sol Multi-Surface Cleaner, sold as a two-pack with 60 ounces per bottle. The label promises it cleans 4X better than a leading multipurpose cleaner on kitchen grease when diluted as directed, and notes it kills 99.9% of germs. Each bottle is labeled 2X Concentrated, and the packaging states the two bottles combined can make up to 120 gallons of cleaning solution.

At roughly 8 cents per fluid ounce based on the price card’s math, this is a solid deal for a name-brand cleaner, especially since a little goes a long way when it’s concentrated and diluted per the directions. Stocking up on household cleaning staples like this rarely feels like a bad move since it doesn’t expire quickly.

Clearance pricing on household staples like this often pops up due to packaging refreshes, overstock, or a shift in seasonal promotional cycles rather than any issue with the product itself. Since Costco’s clearance items are just mixed in on regular shelves with only the price tag giving them away, grab it now if you spot it since inventory on marked-down items tends to be limited and non-restocked.

Bottom Line: If you go through cleaning supplies regularly, this concentrated Pine-Sol two-pack looks like an easy stock-up. Have you tried the 2X Concentrated formula versus the original strength?
