  • Deodorizer: Its characteristic fresh, woody aroma effectively masks and neutralizes unpleasant odors from organic matter, smoke, and chemicals, leaving a clean scent in the environment.
  • Surfactant Enhancer: Pine oil acts as a solvent for grease and oily residues, helping surfactants in cleaning formulations to break down tough stains and soils more efficiently, improving overall cleaning performance.
