Ingredients from the label


Directions from Packaging

TYPES OF FLOORS: Safe to use on tile, vinyl, hardwood, marble, linoleum, ceramic, and no wax floors. Not recommended for unsealed/worn wood or unsealed ceramic surfaces. Test in an inconspicuous area first and always follow manufacturer's instructions. DIRECTIONS: (Do not shake bottle) Before applying MOP & GLO®, sweep or vacuum the floor. 1. Squeeze out a small amount of MOP & GLO® directly onto floor. 2. Immediately use a damp mop, sponge or rag to spread product evenly over a 3'x4' area of the floor. 3. Rinse mop to remove dirt, move to the next area of the floor and repeat the process. Your floor will dry normally to a beautiful, long-lasting shine in 10-20 minutes. After floor is dry, apply additional coats if a higher gloss is desired. HELPFUL HINT If your floor shows signs of build-up or discoloration regularly remove the older layers of polish with the following process: mix 1/4 cup LYSOL® All-Purpose Cleaner (NON BLEACH CONTAINING) and add 1 cup ammonia in 1/2 gallon of warm water and spread over floor. (Do not mix bleach based products with ammonia, test in an inconspicuous area first.) If your sealed hardwood floor shows signs of build up remove the older layers of polish with a commercial floor stripper product suitable for your flooring, being sure to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and testing in an inconspicuous area first.

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.
