Surface cleaners include a variety of all-purpose and heavy-duty cleaning products, degreasers, and polishes. Some cleaners also polish, while other clean and disinfect or clean and degrease. Yet other surface cleaners can be used to successfully remove salts, scale, mineral deposits, and metal-oxides.

Some cleaning products are also environmentally friendly and are made with natural, biodegradable, non-toxic, and/or non-flammable ingredients.

Choose the right surface cleaner for a specific purpose. For example, floor cleaning products must be able to remove dirt and residues without creating slippery surfaces that create a fall risk.
