Phenol used to be a popular disinfectant over a hundred years ago, but I'm surprised it would be sold as a cleaner in modern times. Anyway it's not a liquid at room temperature.... must have been a solution of some sort.

phenyl means substitution of some other chemical by benzene ring. phenyl is not a chemical. Saying a bottle contains phenyl is like saying I have a black.

Would you mind sharing some more details?

X___What is the brand name of this cleaner?
X___What is it marketed for? (Scrubbing toilets, cleaning driveways, stripping paint...etc)
