Big Lemon, to be specific. Oranges and lines do not share that reputation

It's citrus, acids break down stuff, lemon juice cuts through grease like vinegar.

The old housewives who used to squeeze lemons into water to make homemade cleaning solution before corporations started mass producing it.

This. Which is why people will still clean kitchens and stuff with vinegar (or vinegar mixed in water). But that can be kind of acerbic smell-wise and bothers some people, so lemon's a nice replacement.

Presumably the fact that the other major cleaning solution smell is "pine" is related, because pine needles are acidic. So someone somewhere probably figured out if you mix pine needles in water it makes a stronger cleaning fluid as well.

To be fair, oranges kind of do. There's a lot of cleaning products these days that smell like orange. Along with orange-scented air fresheners.

If they are going to make it smell like lemons I would rather it smell like fresh lemons than rotting lemons.

Debating the cleanliness of adding lemons to cleaning products is a folly, because there is nothing organic in most cleaning products, as that would defeat the purpose.

Marketing probably figured that "fresh lemon scent!" sounded better than "fake lemon scent!"

Also pine has natural disinfectant properties. A little while back, a whole bunch of Pine-sol products had to be recalled due to bacterial contamination, but the stuff that was actually made of pine wasn't included in that because bacteria can't grow in it.

Lemons smell nice, but compared to that, the taste is a lie.
