What is an "all-purpose cleaner"?
An all-purpose cleaner is a cleaning product designed to clean a variety of surfaces around the home or office. It is usually in liquid form and can be used on countertops, floors, windows, and many other areas. All-purpose cleaners are formulated to remove dirt, grease, stains, and germs from surfaces without damaging them. These cleaners are often diluted with water and applied using a cloth, sponge, or spray bottle. They are popular for their convenience, as they can be used for general cleaning tasks without the need for different products for each surface.
