These colorful ads simply note that it helps to keep these items clean, but the pictures seem to suggest that it's almost like the furnishings are able to keep themselves neat and tidy.

The ads are simple and fun, showing off just how versatile the Pine-Sol cleaner can be when it is used in the home—if only your bathtub and floors could really scrub themselves clean as these images show.
