Expert Analysis

Uses tetrapotassium pyrophosphate as the primary cleaning agent, which acts as both a surfactant and chelating agent to break down soils and bind minerals. The citrus-based formulation provides natural degreasing properties while maintaining compatibility with delicate surfaces and protective coatings. The concentrate format allows dilution ratios from neat application for heavy soiling down to 10:1 for light cleaning tasks.

Key Differentiators

  • Tetrapotassium pyrophosphate provides dual surfactant and chelating action in a single ingredient
  • Variable dilution ratios from neat to 10:1 accommodate different soil levels
  • Coating-safe formulation compatible with delicate surfaces

Potential Concerns

  • Unknown pH level makes it difficult to assess surface compatibility
  • Low ingredient transparency with only 2 disclosed components
  • Tetrapotassium pyrophosphate concentration and specific function undefined
