How do we know how well cleaners work? Are cleaners disinfecting properly? I am curious to see how well household cleaners work to kill germs. I decided to conduct my own experiments to see how much bacteria Pine-Sol Cleaner kills. Does it kill 99.9% of bacteria? In this video I clean and disinfect 4 areas of my homes to test PineSol. I test my kitchen sink, bathroom sink, bathroom trash and the toilet bowl.
I wonder how often people are following the instructions on the label. Does it matter how long you let the disinfectant stay on the area before wiping off? How long does Pinesol have to remain on a surface to kill germs? Come join me and clean with me.

Pinesol is awesome for kitchen bacteria for sure!

[@FieldOfFocus]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Yoshilovesluigi256]

Another good one to review would be Pine Glo.

[@lydiaking6341]

If pine sol has to be undiluted to disinfect, I guess it makes sense that you can't Disinfect the inside of the toilet

[@FieldOfFocus]

Great point! I could try to empty the toilet water... but I find that to be a pain and realistically wouldn't want to do that every time I clean my toilet. Thanks for watching!!

[@kaylamoore1695]

That’s why I always find their instructions confusing, use full strength to disinfect except mix it with toilet water to clean the toilet? I add 1/2 cup to the water as instructed but then use a spray bottle with undiluted pine sol and spray the inside of the bowl and rim, brush and let sit for 10 mins. I also put my toilet brush in undiluted pine sol after cleaning the toilet :)

[@FieldOfFocus]

Right.. it doesn't make much sense. It needs to be full strength to really disinfect.

[@vsoraya]

And also she didn't apply with sponge like other places.

[@FieldOfFocus]

@@vsoraya well cleaning a toilet bowl with a sponge isn’t what I normally do…

[@Raine247]

Keep up the videos. Testing with the petri dish is good stuff. One recommendation, and it may not be practical for all surfaces, would be to limit the size of your swabbing area and to demarcate sections with painters tape. A good common household product to try in the toilet bowl would be Clorox bleach. Good shit, 👍

[@FieldOfFocus]

Hi Colin, Thank you so much for the encouragement! I like your idea of taping off areas (when I can) to be swabbed! I will implement that in my next videos. I do have three videos already scheduled to post with petri dishes: testing my washing machine basket clean cycle, disinfecting with vinegar, and disinfecting with Clean Boss. Those will have the old style of swabbing. Clorox bleach in the toilet bowl is a great idea! I might take a few weeks and test out a handful of toilet cleaners to put in one video. Thank you so much for the feedback! Take Care!

[@FieldOfFocus]

Hey Colin, The video with Clorox Bleach in the toilet bowl is live! ENJOY!!!!! Thank you for that suggestion!

[@GABRIEL555USA]

Thanks, excellent information

[@FieldOfFocus]

You are welcome! Thank you so much for watching!

[@princessmel824]

I just love these videos ! Lol 😂 I look forward to them !

[@FieldOfFocus]

Thank you so much for watching!! I am glad you enjoy them!

[@witfildaclervoix1182]

This was great! I use Pinesol to clean my sink, counters, tub, shower liner and toilet seat. I mop with it also. I dilute it though. It's still strong even when diluted, I'm shocked my husband hasn't found me passed out in the bathroom yet. 😂 I use Soft scrub for the toilet bowl though, I need that bleach action. This was very insightful.

[@FieldOfFocus]

Pinesol is super strong even diluted! Some cleaners are just sooooo strong smelling but clean so well. When I recorded the Clean Boss video, I was so nauseous from the smell, but it really disinfects so well! Another viewer suggested I test out Soft Scrub Gel, so that is on my list of things to test. I am in the middle of editing testing of different toilet bowl cleaners! Stay tuned!!!!

[@allenpadua8298]

solid video, been wondering about the floor cleaning strength esp w my pup running around. the results here are promising!

[@FieldOfFocus]

Thank you! When we took care of a puppy, I switched from Pinesol to a Steam mop to clean my floors. I have plans to test out the efficacy of the Steam mop soon!

[@scubaboog8496]

Can you do this same Petri dish test using Dr. Bronners Sal Suds?

[@FieldOfFocus]

Hi there! yes, I have Sal Suds on my viewer suggestion list! I do have a video about Dr Bronner's Soap in the mean time that you might enjoy. Testing Dr Bronner's Castille Soap: How Well Does it Disinfect My House???? kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5W4omSvgdlpkKs

[@melissamundle456]

Spray Nine is an amazing cleaner!! It's my go to.

[@FieldOfFocus]

I don’t know that cleaner and I will be googling it!! Thank you for the suggestion and comment! Thank you for watching!!

[@my.way.gaming561]

I am sorry but this woman is just way too cute and is so nice to listen to her accent ❤️❤️ very informative

[@FieldOfFocus]

You are so very kind!!! Thank you for watching and commenting! 🥰

[@shirlzjp]

Ouuu I loved this video!!

[@FieldOfFocus]

Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@DahHar117]

Could the poor showing in the toilet have to do with not having cleaned the tank?

[@FieldOfFocus]

I am not sure if the tank could impact the results. I have done many toilet tests and some cleaners just do better than others. But good thought! Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@MorticiaAddams23]

Can i recommend a video on how well Comet works? Both the old school powder and the Soft Cleaner in the white bottle? Thanks

[@FieldOfFocus]

Hi there! I will add more Comet to my viewer suggestion list.. so far I have just tested Comet Powder in the Toilet Bowl.. here is the link: COMET: Does it Disinfect My Toilet? VIEWER REQUEST! Testing w/ Sterile Swabs & Petri dishes!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hajdh5mJrpucmqc

[@nancyr45]

Hi a new subscriber love your effort and videos . Can you please tell us what is the best Disinfectant cleaner for the bathrooms ?

[@FieldOfFocus]

It is really hard for me to choose just one!! It really depends on the type of product you are looking for, more natural based, spray, wipes.. etc..

[@Pattythomas5]

I think you need to keep your technique in mind. The Pine-Sol in your toilet was diluted - not full strength. It rinsed with water coming from under the rim from an area that was not ideally cleaned...you used a toilet brush that was previously used so it was not ideal conditions. I think you could possibly experience the same result if you use the same technique in your b/r again with a different cleaner. A great review though...thanks so much.

[@FieldOfFocus]

Thank you for comments! So for the toilet cleaning, I followed the manufacturers guidelines and the brush sits in bleach in between each use. These experiments are not in laboratory conditions, I do my best to show how cleaners work in a real world home example. Thank you for watching and giving your thoughts!

[@Pattythomas5]

Yep - totally agree. Just so you know...I'm a new follower because of this video...truly a great review!

[@FieldOfFocus]

@@Pattythomas5 Thank you so much for the kind words! I hope you enjoy the rest of my videos!!

[@chazzyschannel]

This is awesome! Can you try the PinAlen pine oil cleaner? Its cheaper than pinesol I'm wondering if it actually disinfects

[@FieldOfFocus]

Hi there! I will add it to my viewer request list, I have about 150 requests and doing my best to get through them all! Thank you for watching and commenting!!!

[@chazzyschannel]

@@FieldOfFocus thank you soooooo much! I actually picked up a bottle of "Breath O Pine" the other night and boy is it strong! Stronger smelling than both pine Sol and pinealen, I saw that it contains isopropol alcohol and real pine oil. I might be switching to this. If you have time to add it to that long list haha! Thank you so much, love that you do this for us!! 💗

[@spicyswts]

im curious how you disinfect and wash your laundry, looking forward to it and will have to follow for more!

[@FieldOfFocus]

I have a playlist for laundry testing, check it out here: kzbin.info/aero/PL6P5xAP9Rj6Jp_mEprHAtUIvXu2KtDM7r Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@patriciahughes5120]

One thing to think about is the toilet brush was the difference that may have had an impact on this. In all other surfaces you used the sponge. Thoughts?

[@FieldOfFocus]

Sure. I bleach my toilet brush before each toilet bowl test I conduct. I just released a video today about that! 😃

[@tabithanicholl9581]

Can you test Odoban?

[@FieldOfFocus]

Hello! I will add Odoban to my viewer suggestion list! Thank you for watching and commenting!!

[@raquelbrown90]

I love pinesol…

[@FieldOfFocus]

I think I might re-test Pinesol.. it used to be one of my favorites!!

[@annestep6741]

thanks, I love the smell of PineSol and wouldn't think it would disinfect that toilet anyway. I just use it for floors etc for cleaning. I enjoy your videos a lot. I think you need something specific for Ecoli for a toilet and even the bathroom sink where hands are washed after using the bathroom. Bleach

[@FieldOfFocus]

I agree.. bathrooms and kitchens each need products that target the bacteria that grows there! Thanks for watching!

[@maryannpapandrea3086]

Enjoyed your video. Question-why do people worry about disinfecting the inside of the toilet when as soon as somebody goes to the bathroom it’s infected again. Lol!

[@FieldOfFocus]

When you flush the toilet, there is a spray (that we can't see) of particles that fly into the air and land on bathroom surfaces. So I think most people are wanting to decrease the amount of bacteria that gets sprayed around from a flush. I am more interested in seeing if products that claim to kill 99.9% of bacteria really can do just that. The toilet bowl gives a really good sampling of bacteria and is a great spot to test these product claims. Thanks for watching!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@corindashockley991]

Can you do Pine Glo?

[@FieldOfFocus]

I will add that to my viewer suggestion list! Thanks for watching!

[@araileyatoledo3376]

Do Hexol!! Or fabulouso!!

[@FieldOfFocus]

Hello! I did test Fabuloso "Testing Fabuloso To See If It Disinfects My Home! - Viewer Request!" I don't know Hexol but I will google it! Thanks for watching and thanks for the suggestions!!

[@araileyatoledo3376]

Going to watch right now! Thank you

[@lizgomez5236]

The tineco

[@FieldOfFocus]

I really want to test Tineco products out! Just waiting until I make some more money before justifying purchasing them!!! They look so nice!!! Thanks for watching!

[@kexandramae3326]

You know before I buy products I look into your videos first if their claims arw true haha

[@FieldOfFocus]

oh that is so nice to hear! Thank you for your support!

[@peggyokeeffe635]

Why aren't you wearing gloves ?!

[@FieldOfFocus]

Hi there! So I often don't wear gloves when I am cleaning, I feel that they are cumbersome. And for the handling of petri dishes, my hands are not touching the agar or the inside of the dish in any way. I use sterile swabs to get the sample and only the swab touches the plate. I feel that I if wore gloves each and every time I swabbed it would be a big big waste of money and just not good for the environment. I do wash my hands or use alcohol sanitizer before each swab (I just don't show that to save time). If I started having control spots that were growing bacteria, then I would reevaluate. Thanks for watching and commenting!
