Pinalen From Home Depot

BlueRidge · Approved Exterior Cleaner

I'll check again. I tried to order but it didn't work. I've been getting it from Family Dollar but they can't keep up! The manager told me last week I can now order online and have it sent to their store with no shipping. I ordered four cases.

Hey Brett,..I just ordered 10 more this morning? Not sure why it doesn't work for you. But,..as long as you're getting it,..is all that matters!!

Home Depot here keeps getting wiped out. Word is getting around.

Anyone interested, the Pinalen Art mentioned years ago is available again on HomeDepot.com with free Shipping when you order 10 at a time. They shut me down last year but have since allowed the shipping again.

Jeff its got something to do with the PA lakes and streams. It was outlawed there, maybe the relaxed the restrictions on it

Yea Art I'm not sure. Last Spring I was able to order and have it shipped,...and then they said "Not available for shipping",...so I gave up,..then this Winter I jumped onto the Home Depot website again and free shipping was again available. So I ordered several "10" bottle orders,..to equal 60 total bottles,..and just last week I ordered another 10 bottles,...Taking advantage while I can!!

I had trouble getting Pinalen as well. I tried Lysol from Costco. Great scent and works extremely good. So easy to get at Costco!

Thanks Brett! I actually was just looking at Lowes website. Their "local" stores to me have lots of it according to the site? I am working in Lewistown today,..that store supposedly has 167 bottles. Gonna load up while I'm there today.

They changed the label on the Max. It looks different in color and I think it has more soap in it. That could be why its not in stock. Should be on its way

Lewistown store doesn't even carry the lavender at all Ha, Ha,.......Let alone having 167 bottles on hand. They only had the Pine.

Art,.I have used this new version since last Summer,...it seems the same to me as the original. I was worried about the labeling as well,.but I see no difference myself?

Both Costco's near me carry this. I can't find it on the site. While searching I found it's supposed to be at HD. Great scent!

Lysol Lemon Breeze

Thanks Brett! That's more than I care to spend on basic soap,..but I may try it. I have a bucket soap I use for dipping my brushes for windows. I can get it for around $50.00 for a (5) gallon bucket to the door. It is very thick and can be mixed down to make two buckets. It's a dish soap from Amazon and it soaps extremely well,...but there isn't any scent other than "soap"...(I got use to the Pinalen Lavender, Ha,Ha) So for now I mixed one bottle of the Pinalen I have left into the other soap. Gives it some scent and I get more bang for my buck with it.

Tried posting a link to the Ultra Shine Platinum but didn't work?

$13.00 for almost 2 gallons (210 oz). 5 gallons would be around $32.00. I don't think that's expensive. Our five gallon soap tank lasts for many days, maybe 2 - 3 dollars per average house wash. I'd have to mark a tank and see how much we actually use but that most likely won't happen.

Pinalen is $7.00 for 128 oz.

The expensive stuff now is SH! It was around $700.00 pre Covid for 330 gallons. We got a new price increase... $1030.00. I'm glad we have the space for bulk.

Jeff Wible · Approved Exterior Cleaner

Ok,..What you posted though was $12.58 for 144 oz.....That's what I was going by. Yea,..Pinalen did go up as well,..I was getting 172 OZ. for around $7.00 and now it's $9 something...Yea,.Hypo has went up quite a bit...

I'm actually liking the Platinum Dish Soap stuff,..cut in half,..soaps up like mad,..yet rinses very clean from the windows.

As of now makes it $25.00 per (5) gallon..

Amazon is so weird with their pricing. The first bucket of the Platinum stuff I bought was $58.00,..the second I bought,.just last week,..was $50.00,..and I see today it is $58.00 again. I've often noticed the same thing with other purchases. Just an observation.

I used the Ultra Shine Platinum from Amazon all last season.....It is very thick and about the same as Dawn Ultra as far as I can tell....I make two buckets from one and it makes a visually appealing soap and rinses very clean....I will be using it again this season....No scent,.but I got used to that,.Ha, Ha,..

I use the Dish Soap from the Dollar store for roofs, But I'm not seeing it on the shelves anymore. I may have to switch, Thanks Jeff I will check it out

Jeff Wible · Approved Exterior Cleaner

Yea Art,..Try and see how you like it....Like I said cutting it to make (2) buckets makes it around $30 per (5) gallons....This stuff is really think so making cutting it 50/50 with water makes it more like a normal soap and there is no sacrifice in effectiveness,....I use it for houses and roofs....
