What surfaces should I avoid using Bathroom & Shower Cleaner on?Updated 13 days ago
TL;DR: Bathroom & Shower Cleaner is designed for bathrooms. Safe on sealed tiles, grout, glass, chrome, taps, basins, bathtubs, acrylic and fibreglass shower trays, and most bathroom fixtures. It is not food-grade, so use Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner or Universal Cleaner for kitchen benchtops and food prep surfaces. Spot test natural stone. Avoid unfinished timber and aftermarket glass coatings.
What surfaces can I use Bathroom & Shower Cleaner on?
✓ Safe on most sealed bathroom surfaces
Shower screens, glazed tiles, grout, bathtubs, basins, taps, shower trays, fibreglass, acrylic, stainless steel, chrome, painted surfaces. Spot test first if in doubt.
What surfaces should I avoid?
⚠ Use something else for these
Food prep surfaces (not food-grade). Unfinished or untreated timber. Natural stone without spot testing first. Aftermarket glass coatings or tint films. Any surface flagged by the manufacturer as incompatible with water-based foam cleaners.
What should I use for kitchen surfaces instead?
Everyday kitchen spray-and-wipe. Benchtops, splashbacks, stainless sinks, stovetops. Damp rinse after on food prep surfaces.
✓ Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner
Formulated for heavy baked-on grease. Rangehoods, ovens, stovetops, and grease-heavy splashbacks. Rinse after use.
How do I spot test a surface?
✓ Three-step spot test
Pick a hidden area. Spray, wipe, wait a few minutes. Check for colour change, dullness, etching, or softening. No reaction means you're clear to proceed.
