Multi-Purpose Cleaner with Orange Cleaning Power

surfactant-basedalkaline-basedready-to-useall-purposeconsumer-gradewarning-label

A ready-to-use alkaline all-purpose cleaner formulated with multiple surfactant types for interior and exterior automotive cleaning tasks.

Key Chemistry

pH Level

8.4

Active Mechanism

surfactant cleaning

Surfactants

3 (anionic, amphoteric, nonionic)

Expert Analysis

Uses a balanced blend of anionic, amphoteric, and nonionic surfactants to handle diverse soil types from light dust to heavier organic contamination. The alkaline pH of 8.4 provides enhanced degreasing capability while remaining mild enough for multi-surface use. Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate serves as the primary cleaning surfactant, offering good foaming and soil suspension properties.

Key Differentiators

  • Triple surfactant system combines different cleaning mechanisms for versatile soil removal
  • Moderate alkaline pH balances cleaning power with surface compatibility across interior and exterior applications

Potential Concerns

  • Multiple fragrance allergens requiring patch testing for sensitive users
  • Contains isothiazolinone preservatives which may cause skin sensitization
  • Prop 65 listing due to trace contaminants
