What can't you use Universal Cleaner on?Updated 9 days ago

TL;DR: Universal Cleaner is safe for most household surfaces, but we recommend avoiding raw soft metals (like aluminium, copper and brass) and being cautious on window tint films.


Surfaces remember to avoid

  • Raw aluminium
  • Copper
  • Brass
  • Zinc
  • Other raw soft metals

These metals can be more reactive and may discolour or mark when cleaned with alkaline-based products.


Be careful with window tint films

Some aftermarket window tints or protective window films can have compatibility issues with cleaning solutions. If you're unsure, always test first in a small hidden corner.


Spot test first (always)

Because there are so many different finishes and manufacturing coatings used in homewares and building materials, it’s hard to list every possible surface.

If you ever have doubts, we recommend doing a spot test before full application.
