How does Universal Cleaner work?Updated 15 hours ago
TL;DR: Universal Cleaner is ready to use straight from the box. Do not mix it with water or any other product. Spray directly onto the surface, wipe, and you are done.
Do I need to dilute it or mix it with water?
No. Do not dilute.
Universal Cleaner is a ready-to-use product. Using it neat, straight from the box, is exactly how it is designed to be used. Adding water dilutes the formula and reduces cleaning performance.
What it is made from
Potassium hydroxide
A strong alkali that breaks down oils and grime on contact.
Reverse osmosis water
Ultra-pure solvent that prevents mineral residue and streaking.
How it works
Breaks down grime on contact
The alkaline solution binds to dirt, grease, and residue, lifts it, and suspends it so it wipes away cleanly. Works on cooking grease, fingerprints, soap scum, and general household grime.
No-rinse formula
Universal Cleaner lifts grime without leaving heavy residue behind, so most surfaces do not need rinsing after use. Spray, wipe, done. For food prep areas, follow up with a clean damp cloth if preferred.
How to use it
Steps 1 and 2
Dispense into an Atomiser Spray Bottle or the Spray Mop bottle.
Spray directly onto the surface.
Steps 3 and 4
Let it sit for 10 to 30 seconds, or longer for heavy grime.
Wipe with a Universal Cloth.
