This used to be a wonderful way to clean shells. You could leave them in
Pine-Sol indefinitely and clean them at leisure. But I have heard several
people say in recent years that this method now is dangerous because the
Pine-Sol formula has changed and it will now damage shells. I haven't
tried to authenticate this rumor - maybe someone with better connections
could.
