From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“pH 12.1 with sodium metasilicate present — the chemistry-forcing rule applies (pH ≥ 12.0) even though SDS §2 mixture classification is 'Not classified.' Pump-spray application in an enclosed cabin creates a direct eye-contact pathway consistent with this forcing rule.”

“pH 12.1 with sodium metasilicate present at RTU concentration forces skin protection per the pH ≥ 12.0 chemistry rule. SDS §2 carries no H314 due to concentration-dependent classification, but the alkaline chemistry basis is present.”

From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“SDS §2 carries no H335. The situational tier reflects pump-spray application in the semi-enclosed vehicle cabin, which creates a generic inhalation pathway when adequate air exchange is absent. SDS §8 states no respiratory protection is required under normal use.”

CarCareTruth's Analysis
Last reviewed May 26, 2026
TL;DR Reliable RTU interior cleaner that handles grime, oils, and everyday spills on fabric and hard surfaces with a brush and cloth — no extractor needed. Eyes and skin protection apply during pump-spray use given the alkaline pH.
What it is and how it performs
RTU pump spray for seats, carpets, door cards, dashboards, and headliners. Spray on, agitate with a brush or sponge, then wipe or blot — no extractor needed. Reviewers across 9,000+ verified purchases cite fast action on grime and oils, a light fresh scent that dissipates quickly, and no color shift or stiffening on OEM cloth. Community data confirms results on Alcantara and aftermarket fabric seats. Set-in protein stains may need extra agitation; this is an alkaline surfactant formula rather than enzyme-based.
Who should buy this — and who should skip it
Good fit for owners tackling general interior soiling — grime, food residue, surface oils — on OEM cloth, carpet, and plastics without professional equipment. Brush-and-blot technique is well-documented and forgiving for first-timers. Owners dealing with dried pet stains or heavy protein soiling may get better results from an enzyme-based cleaner.
Safety and environmental impact
SDS §2 classifies the mixture as not hazardous at RTU concentration — no GHS signal word. The alkaline pH (12.1 per SDS §9) with sodium metasilicate is the basis for the eyes and skin required tiers; this chemistry-forcing rule applies independent of mixture-level GHS classification. SDS §8 specifies no respiratory protection under normal use; the situational lungs tier reflects enclosed-cabin spray-mist exposure. No PFAS, no aquatic toxicity codes, water-based with no confirmed VOC solvents. Classified leave-on for environment scoring.

Excellent cleaner, works incredibly well on leather and fabric upholstery.
Excellent product. I bought this in a gallon size bottle a while back from a local professional auto detailer. It was impossible for me to find it here in the US for a while. I was happy to be able to find it on Amazon. This was shipped to California from the U.K. and arrived in a reasonable amount of time, maybe about a week. Product is awesome, I haven't used anything better for cleaning leather, carpets, fabric seats. It works well in a spray on/wipe off application, but the real secret is to use an agitator (a small hand held brush) to work it. The dirt and grime just melt off. It also has a pleasant and very light smell.
