Rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry.
Perform a patch test before using this cleaner on a large area. Apply a small amount to an inconspicuous spot to ensure it does not dull finishes or scratch surfaces.
Store the cleaner in a cool, dry place. Use within a few weeks for best results. Shake or stir before each use if separation occurs.
