Can I use Zep Heavy-Duty Citrus Degreaser and Cleaner on Stainless steel?

SAFE WITH CONDITIONS

d-Limonene solvent cleaner; prolonged contact or residue could affect sensitive finishes despite stainless-steel approval.

Why

Zep explicitly lists stainless steel among approved surfaces, and the product is intended to remove grease and kitchen soil. No contradictory evidence is provided.

What to do

Use as directed, avoid prolonged dwell, and wipe/rinse thoroughly. Spot-test first on coated, polished, or specialty stainless finishes.

pH

Not stated in the provided manufacturer evidence.

Relevant chemistry

The evidence identifies d-limonene for the cleaner family; no numeric pH or broader chemistry classification is provided.

How to interpret this result

For Stainless steel, this is a conditional result rather than unrestricted approval. Use Zep Heavy-Duty Citrus Degreaser and Cleaner only within the conditions above, especially any limits on finish, sealing, contact time, rinsing or spot-testing.

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