designed to clean your hard surfaces
that will withstand high heat. Do not
use on unsealed wood or unglazed
ceramics. On surfaces that have been
treated with wax or some no wax
floors, the sheen may be removed by
the heat and steam action. It is always
recommended to test an isolated area
of the surface to be cleaned before
proceeding. We also recommend that
you check the use and care instructions
from the surface manufacturer.
