Water-based Can be used for cleaning and polishing stainless steel, chrome, aluminum, plastics, solid surface counter tops, and other hard surfaces. It is a water-based oil emulsion that does not have the oiliness and flammability of solvent-based stainless steel cleaners. Solvents have been removed and replaced with water to lower the VOCs and make it more environmentally friendly. It uses highly refined oil like those used in baby oils, so it ideally suited for use in food preparation areas that need a product that cleans and leaves a protective shine. USDA A7, NSF registered.
