Question 1

Has anyone tried this on hardwood floors? Is it safe for hardwood?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's great on hardwood. I have used it for years. Take a 2 quart jug, add just enough Citra-Solv to cover the bottom of the jug, add water to fill, the liquid should look milky. Pour some of this into your mop water. (I'm guessing 1-2 ounces.) Cleans and leaves a healthy shine and makes the house smell great. I like to add essential oils to the mop water, several drops each of eucalyptus, peppermint, spearmint, lavender, etc. Also, fill a spray bottle from the jug you mixed up, you can fill about 1/4 of the spray bottle and fill the rest with water- use to clean bathroom fixtures, kitchen counter tops, etc, diluted enough it makes great window cleaner also. I've noticed that cleaning rags used with this, if forgotten, do not mildew like other rags would. Good stuff!

Question 2

Is this product safe for oven cleaning? I have some burnt-on char on my oven floor from when a pie spilled over and I'm hoping this will do the trick.

Accepted Answer

There is no way to know. That char is very hard to get rid of and this is a mild product, however if you have scraped off as much as possible I would the oven's self-cleaning cycle, thats the only reliable method I have ever found. if you can do that then I would try soaking with this product and see what happens. The Citra-Solv website lists ovens (inside and out) as being on the list thats OK, but I suspect that they means that its ok for general cleaning (not that it will remove stuck-on carbon deposits). Good luck!

Question 3

Do i have to rinse,  if used on vinyl kitchen flooring?  Thank you for your time!

Accepted Answer

Hello Emily.  I use Citra Solve on my hard wood floors and my vinyl flooring.  I use on my counter tops. Bathrooms.  I don't rinse the floors.  You don't need to.  Citra Solv leaves a wonderful smelling house.  A clean smell.

Question 4

Can it be used for kitchen drain degreaser?

Accepted Answer

This product is excellent for dissolving grease and I have no doubt it would improve your drain's function. This company also makes a product specifically for drains. The drain cleaning product has the same chemical as the degreaser, but  it also has a variety of enzymes to help dissolve the gunk in the drain. Amazon carries the  drain cleaner too. You might have a look at the ingredients for the two products and see if one would be better than the other, for you.
