It always pays to use the ASPCA's Poison Control experts if a poison question comes up. They charge per case. there is also a British site which has helped with cleanser info before but I do not know if Pinesol is in the UK, or under that product name.

This is also a useful site:

Angell Memorial has begun putting up helpful articles now, too:

On Pinesol:

includes in the section on cages:

I have not verified that.
