Are there surfaces you Do Not recommend for this cleaning process?
The non-toxic cleaner we use works well on almost every ceiling and wall surface. We do not recommend its application on surfaces such as polished stainless steel, mirrored, or chromed surfaces. When used on highly polished surfaces, the cleaner has a tendency to streak.
