The Method Wood for Good Daily Clean is designed as a maintenance solution for keeping sealed wood surfaces free of dust and surface grime. The formula is pH-neutral, which means it is gentle enough for daily use on polyurethane-finished floors, cabinets, and tables without dulling the factory seal. The 28-ounce bottle features an ergonomic trigger that produces a fine mist, preventing the wood from becoming over-saturated—a common concern with traditional liquid cleaners that can cause grain swelling.
Practical tests indicate that the solution dries quickly and does not leave a sticky residue, which is often a trade-off with products containing heavy waxes. However, because this is a daily maintenance cleaner, it is built for surface cleaning rather than repairing scratches or restoring the finish on antique, unsealed furniture. The almond scent is distinctive and remains present for a short time after application, making it a popular choice for refreshing kitchen cabinets.
Usage Guidelines for Best Results
- Spray the solution onto a microfiber cloth rather than directly on the surface to avoid overspray on nearby floors.
- Use a circular motion for buffing to enhance the natural shine of the wood.
- Check that your wood is "sealed" by placing a small drop of water on it; if the water beads, this cleaner is appropriate to use.
For homes with a variety of surfaces beyond wood, such as granite or stainless steel, the Pledge pH-Balanced Multisurface Spray offers a broader range of compatibility in a single bottle.
