Be aware, some cleaners have ingredients with some concerns such as CITRUS LIMON (LEMON) PEEL OIL. Citrus Limon Peel Oil is a highly used, loved, and natural cleaning compound. Because of its acute aquatic toxicity, skin irritation/allergies/damage may occur; you must use this product cautiously. This does not make the cleaner unsafe to use, you must use it as directed and with caution to what surface you are applying it to.
For any cleaner to be effective and safe you must read its instructions and any caution statements before use.
