- Kitchen counters, stovetops, and sinks — Great for cutting grease and removing food residue.
- Appliances — Wipe down microwaves, fridges, and coffee makers.
- Bathroom surfaces — Tackles soap scum, hard water stains, and mirrors (no streaks!).
- Windows and glass — Leaves a sparkling, streak-free finish.
- Floors — Dilute further for mopping.
Spray on the surface, let it sit for a minute (especially for tough spots), then wipe with a microfiber cloth or sponge. For heavy grime, allow longer dwell time.
Important note — Avoid using on natural stone (like granite or marble), unsealed wood, or waxed surfaces, as the acidity can etch or damage them over time.
