Troubleshooting
Residue left on surfaces after cleaning.
Ensure the surface was thoroughly rinsed with clean water after washing. The dilution ratio might also be too strong for the task; try a weaker solution.
Cleaner is not effectively removing grease.
Verify the correct dilution ratio is being used. For tougher grease, a stronger concentration or a second application may be needed. Ensure the cleaner is fresh and has been stored properly.
Skin irritation after use.
Always wear gloves when using Zep Sugar Soap, especially the concentrated form. If irritation occurs, wash the affected area immediately with soap and water. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
