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

CAUTION

Wood is not listed by the manufacturer, and this solvent-containing heavy-duty degreaser may affect wood finishes or penetrate unfinished wood.

Why

The product is intended for hard, non-porous surfaces and contains d-limonene, but compatibility with wood and its finish is unresolved.

What to do

Avoid routine use on wood. If necessary, spot-test an inconspicuous area first, use sparingly, keep contact brief, and wipe/rinse residue promptly.

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 Wood, unrestricted compatibility with Zep Heavy-Duty Citrus Degreaser and Cleaner 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.
