Can I use Zep All-Purpose Cleaner and Degreaser on Wood?

CAUTION

Wood is not listed among the manufacturer-approved surfaces, and the cleaner’s chemistry is unspecified. Unsealed, waxed, or delicate wood finishes could be affected.

Why

The product is a ready-to-use degreaser approved for several hard, finished surfaces, but there is insufficient evidence to establish compatibility with wood.

What to do

Avoid routine use on wood. If necessary, test on an inconspicuous area first, use sparingly with minimal dwell time, wipe promptly, and do not leave the surface wet.

pH

Not stated in the available manufacturer evidence.

Relevant chemistry

Ready-to-use cleaner for grease, grime, and dirt; chemistry class not stated.

How to interpret this result

For Wood, unrestricted compatibility with Zep All-Purpose Cleaner and Degreaser is not established. The unresolved evidence or plausible damage mechanism described above is why SafeSurface recommends caution rather than treating the product as generally safe.

Evidence scope: product family. The manufacturer evidence applies at family level, so variant-specific label directions should still take priority.
