What can I use Universal Cleaner on?Updated 10 days ago

Koh Universal Cleaner is a no-rinse multipurpose cleaner that works on 20+ household surfaces. In the kitchen: benchtops, splashbacks, ovens, stovetops including induction cooktops, rangehoods, sinks, cabinet faces and the inside of the fridge. In the bathroom: tiles, grout, showers, bathtubs, sinks, tapware, vanity tops, mirrors and toilet exteriors. On glass and mirrors: windows, shower screens, glass tabletops and polished surfaces, finished with a Koh glass cloth. On floors: sealed timber, laminate, tile, vinyl and sealed stone. For oiled or waxed timber, fill your Spray Mop with plain water instead. On laminates and synthetic surfaces: laminate benchtops, melamine cabinetry, acrylic and sealed composite. On chrome fittings with a light spray and a wipe-and-dry technique. On carpets, rugs, upholstery and leather for spot-cleaning, after a spot test. It is used undiluted from the atomiser or the spray mop.

Koh Universal Cleaner is an alkaline formulation, and that sets its limits. It is not suitable for soft metals such as zinc, copper and brass, which can discolour or tarnish. Not for raw or untreated aluminium, which can oxidise or pit. Not for aftermarket window tints and films, which can peel or cloud. Not for glass carrying a protective coating such as Enduroshield, which alkaline cleaners can break down. Wool and untreated protein fibres need a different cleaner. As a general rule, avoid surfaces susceptible to higher alkaline solutions. Extended contact is what causes blemishing, so wipe the product off rather than leaving it to sit. When you are unsure, spot test in an inconspicuous area and check for discolouration or blemishing or any change to the surface.

To spot test Koh Universal Cleaner on an unknown surface, pick a hidden spot such as the back of a cabinet, the underside of a chair, the hem of upholstery or a corner that will not show. Apply a small amount of undiluted Universal Cleaner to a Koh cloth and wipe gently. Wait a few minutes, then check for discolouration or blemishing or any change to the surface before you clean the full area. If nothing has changed, go ahead. If anything has, stop and use a different cleaner. Universal Cleaner is used undiluted, so the spot test reflects the actual strength you will be cleaning with.
