This stuff is my go to antiseptic soap. I have tried a few others, but none have been a effective. It also has some antifungal properties. It can be used for almost anything, from disinfecting floors and other hard surfaces, to disinfecting wounds and skin if diluted properly. In my experience, it must be diluted very well and rinsed off quickly, or it can feel like it is burning the skin (although I have very sensitive skin, so others may not need to be as careful). Some people may find the smell strong (it has a very strong pine smell) but I don't find that it lingers too long and it can be easily washed away with other soaps or Cleansers.
