Pink Solution Scrub contains a natural pumice abrasive. While abrasives are excellent for cleaning most hard surfaces they can scratch softer surfaces, clear coat and fine finishes, car finishes, stainless steel appliances, acrylics and fiberglass. Abrasives should never be used on silver.
Pink Solution Bar contains Borax, a laundry booster and should not be used on abraded skin or by children under 3 years of age.
If you are unsure of the color fastness of any fabric to be treated with a scrub, it is advisable to spot check in an non-visible area before treating the stain.
