Detox seemed very similar to Pinesol when I used it. Hopefully someone who has used it more will have more info for you.

The night I had on Dettol ended up with me signing a two year contract with a Mariachi band .

"The active ingredient in "Dettol" that confers its antiseptic property is chloroxylenol (C8H9ClO), an aromatic chemical compound. Chloroxylenol comprises 4.8% of "Dettol's" total admixture, with the rest made up by pine oil, isopropanol, castor oil, soap and water. Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia."
According to a Safety Data Sheet on "Dettol" produced by Reckitt Benckiser in UK, Dettol is -
chloroxylenol is 2.5 to 10%, pine oil is 2.5 to 10% and isopropanol is 10 to 20%. The balance is water and an unidentified surfactant (soap).
I don't know if "Pinesol" is sold in the UK or Europe. It's active ingredients are 3 to 7 per cent C10 to C14 alcohols (exact per cent and type of alcohol is a trade secret) and about 5 per cent glycolic acid with the remainder water (probably). It is refined from pine oil and has an astringent pine aroma.
Both products are refined using pine oil and might have some similar odor, although I've never used "Dettol" myself so I can't say this for sure. Clearly Gerald is right that they are similar in chemical make-up.
How's your liver Mark?
Two years with a mariachi band is the toxic equivalent to 15 minutes performing with Lawrence Welk's orchestra. "And a-one and a-two and a..." Shudder.
Are you using "Dettol" to strip paint from figures? Spray oven cleaner works pretty well, although it also stinks. Active ingredients sodium hydroxide and alcohols. Corrosive to skin - wear gloves and keep splashes out of your eyes! No jive - getting even a drop or two of either product in your eye would not be hilarious. Rinse your eyes immediately with running water and see your doctor.
I usually put the figure in a plastic sandwich bag, spray the oven cleaner into the bag and then seal it. When done, rinse the bag and figure together with running water and discard the bag. Oh...remove the figure first.
All the best,
Dan
