Directions from Packaging

DIRECTIONS (Do not shake. Rock gently before use.): Remove loose dirt from floor by dust mopping, sweeping or vacuuming. 1. Squirt 4-in-1 in an "s" pattern directly onto 4'x4' area of floor. 2. Immediately spread with clean, damp mop in long, even strokes following grain of wood. 3. Move to next are and repeat. Rinse mop if it becomes soiled during application. Floor will dry to a brilliant shine in less than 15 minutes, although individual drying times may vary. For very dirty floors, we recommend using an oil-free cleaner such as Orange Glo Everyday Cleaner prior to applying Orange Glo 4-in-1; ensure floor is completely dry before proceeding. For best results, use Orange Glo Cleaning Pad for easier application and more effective cleaning than ordinary mops or wipes. Orange Glo Cleaning Pad is available online at www.greatcleaners.com Test first in an inconspicuous area and allow to dry 15 minutes before first use. Wait at least 12 hours for Orange Glo 4-in-1 to dry before using any cleaner. Do not walk on floor if surface is still wet or tacky. Orange Glo 4-in-1 is not for use on laminate or unsealed, unfinished, waxed or oiled wood floors, or on severely worn floors. Do not apply any polyurethane coatings directly to floor that has been treated with Orange Glo 4-in-1; thoroughly remove with a stripping product prior to using a refinisher. Orange Glo 4-in-1 should be removed when there is build up: mix 1 cup ammonia in 1/2 gallon warm water. Rinse with clean water and mop dry.

If contact lenses present, remove lens and continue rinsing. See physician if irritation persists. If swallowed, drink a glass full of water and get medical attention. Contains solvents, plasticizers and wax emulsions. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Understanding scores

EWG provides information on cleaning product ingredients from the published scientific literature, to supplement incomplete data available from companies and the government. The ratings indicate the relative level of concern posed by exposure to the ingredients in this product - not the product itself - compared to other product formulations. The ratings reflect potential health hazards but do not account for the level of exposure or individual susceptibility, factors which determine actual health risks, if any.

HOW WE DETERMINE SCORES

Hazard score

The Healthy Cleaning ingredient hazard score, from A to F, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED® mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.
