Avoid for: limescale, bacteria buildup
Chemistry: solvent_blend
Primary risk: finish damage risk
Kitchen oils, fingerprints, and organic films on hard surfaces.
Used for: adhesive residue · sticky residue · wax buildup · cooked-on residue

Common mistakes
- Using vinegar or low-pH DIY mixes on marble, granite, or other acid-sensitive stone without a label-backed plan.
- Reaching for dish soap or neutral cleaners when the soil is mineral scale—surfactants often move the problem, not remove it.
- Spraying disinfectant on dirty surfaces: organic film can shield microbes; clean first unless the label says otherwise.
- Mixing bleach with ammonia, acids, or unknown products—toxic gas risk and unpredictable chemistry.

6.6
Reflects chemistry fit, safety limits, and declared surface–problem tags—not popularity or reviews alone.
Where it fits best
- • Kitchen oils, fingerprints, and organic films on hard surfaces.
Not a universal cleaner
- • Unknown materials, damaged finishes, or situations requiring professional restoration.
Major caution: Requires careful handling, testing, and rinse discipline (especially around acid-sensitive finishes).
