2. Prevent Your Pet From Peeing Inside The House

Sometimes the reason why pets urinate on certain surfaces is that you clean them with ammonia-based cleaning products. Urine also contains ammonia, so they do it to claim back their territory, thinking that something else took it. To overcome this problem, avoid ammonia-based products. Use Pine-Sol instead. Here’s how you can make a pet pee deterrent solution:
  • Mix ¼ cup of Pine-Sol with a gallon of water (just like you would do to make a Pine-Sol all-purpose cleaner).
  • Use it to clean the surfaces that your pet urinated over.

Even if you don’t use Pine-Sol as your main cleaning product, you can spread its wonderful aroma all over your house. Like an air freshener. After all, it has a pleasant scent that everybody seems to love. Here’s how you can make a Pine-Sol air freshener:
  • Grab a small, old pot that you don’t use anymore and mix equal parts of water and Pine-Sol (only a tiny amount of each).
  • Simmer the solution.
  • Carry the saucepan around your house to spread the scent.

4. Pine-Sol pregnancy test

According to popular belief, Pine-Sol changes color in the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and therefore, can be used as a homemade pregnancy test. This hCG hormone is produced by the placenta after implantation. Here’s how you can use Pine-Sol to know if you are pregnant:
  • Mix ½ cup of your urine with ½ cup of Pine-Sol and stir.
  • If the color changes after a couple of minutes, you might be pregnant.
It is worth mentioning that there is no scientific evidence to support this popular belief. You should buy an over-the-counter pregnancy test or ask your doctor to test your blood.
