Mr. Clean All-Purpose Cleaner delivers 2X concentrated cleaning power that cuts through 100% of dirt, grease, and grime across multiple surfaces. This isn’t homeowner-grade stuff pretending to be professional — the pH 10.3 alkaline formula packs legitimate degreasing strength that contractors need for post-construction cleanup and maintenance crews rely on for commercial facilities.
The concentrated formula matters. Mix 1/4 cup per gallon of water for standard cleaning. That’s roughly 2 fluid ounces per gallon — one 45-ounce bottle yields over 22 gallons of working solution. For shops stocking cleaning supplies, the space savings add up. Store less, clean more.
Technical Specifications and Professional Details
Professional contractors rate this cleaner highly for its effectiveness across floors, countertops, tiles, toilets, bathtubs, and even outdoor areas like garbage cans and doors. The versatility eliminates the need for multiple specialized cleaners on most job sites.

The formula meets OSHA Hazard Communication Standard compliance, U.S. TSCA Inventory listing, and Canada CEPA compliance. Category 2B Eye Irritant classification means standard PPE protocols apply — nothing unusual for commercial cleaners.
Surface Compatibility and Application Methods
Safe surfaces include linoleum, tile, finished hardwood, ceramic, porcelain, stainless steel, plastic, glass, and enamel. Keep it away from carpets, copper, aluminum, and unfinished/waxed/oiled wood. That covers most commercial and residential surfaces contractors encounter.
For standard cleaning, the diluted solution requires no rinse. Tough jobs get full-strength application directly onto the surface, then wipe and rinse immediately. Finished wood surfaces should only see the diluted solution — never full strength on hardwood floors or wood trim.
Food contact surfaces require a potable water rinse — standard protocol for any cleaner in commercial kitchens or food prep areas. On stainless steel, apply directly then wipe dry immediately to avoid streaks.
The Bottom Line
Users consistently praise its effectiveness and trust the brand for delivering quality results. The concentrated formula offers good value through extended use. Some users report residue if not properly diluted — follow the mixing ratios.
For Montana contractors dealing with post-construction cleanup, maintenance contracts, or stocking shop supplies, this cleaner handles the basics without drama. The alkaline pH tackles jobsite grime, the multi-surface compatibility reduces inventory complexity, and the concentrated formula maximizes storage efficiency. Not revolutionary. Just reliable.
