Care and Usage

First Use

1. Preparing the can

Remove the protective cap and shake the can vigorously for 5 to 10 seconds before each use. This step homogenizes the formula and ensures optimal foam quality for effective cleaning.

2. Compatibility Test

Test the product on a small, inconspicuous area of ​​the surface to be cleaned, especially on delicate or antique surfaces. Wait 30 seconds to check for any adverse reaction before proceeding with the full cleaning.

3. Correct application technique

Hold the can upright, about 25 centimeters from the surface. Spray a moderate amount of foam in smooth, even motions to cover the area completely. Avoid over-application, which could leave residue.

Regular Can Maintenance

To maximize the lifespan of your ZEP40 cleaner:

After each use:

  • Wipe the spray nozzle with a clean cloth to prevent clogs.
  • Replace the protective cap to prevent accidental leaks.
  • Store the can upright in a dry place.

Valve management:

  • If the valve gets stuck, remove it and rinse it under warm water for a few seconds.
  • Test the spray in a sink after cleaning the valve.

Level check:

  • Shake the can periodically to estimate the remaining level.
  • Order a new can when the weight seems light to avoid stock shortages.

Precautions for Use

For your safety and that of your environment:

Avoid prolonged inhalation- Use in well-ventilated areas. Open windows and doors during intensive use. An ammonia odor indicates insufficient ventilation.

Do not use on untreated porous surfaces- This product is not designed for raw wood, fabrics, leather, or absorbent surfaces. Risk of permanent stains or material damage.

Our Answers to Your Questions about ZEP40 Cleaner

Does ZEP40 leave streaks on glass?

No, ZEP40 cleaner is specifically formulated for streak-free, residue-free drying. Its ammonia-based formula evaporates quickly and evenly, leaving your glass surfaces perfectly clear and shiny.

For optimal results, wipe with a clean microfiber cloth using circular motions, then finish with vertical or horizontal strokes. The key to a flawless result lies in using a lint-free cloth and wiping completely before the product fully dries.

What is the difference between ZEP40 and ordinary residential glass cleaners?

ZEP40 is a professional-grade cleaner with a higher concentration of cleaning agents compared to standard household products.

Main differences:

  • More concentrated ammonia formula for effective removal of tough grease and grime
  • Clinging foam that stays in place on vertical surfaces, unlike runny liquids
  • NSF C1 certification for use in commercial food environments
  • Consistent performance even on grease, nicotine, and industrial residues
  • Professional can design with reinforced valve built to withstand thousands of sprays
  • Faster drying time, reducing labor and increasing productivity

Residential cleaners are suitable for light maintenance, while ZEP40 excels in demanding environments where consistent professional-level results are required.

Is ZEP40 safe for stainless steel?

Yes, ZEP40 is perfectly safe and recommended for stainless steel. It effectively cleans appliances, sinks, countertops, and professional stainless-steel equipment without leaving streaks or damaging the surface. The formula contains no abrasive agents or corrosive acids that could scratch or dull stainless steel.

Thousands of commercial and residential kitchens use ZEP40 daily on their stainless surfaces. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area when using it for the first time on older or specially treated stainless steel. Wipe in the direction of the steel grain for best aesthetic results.

What is included with the ZEP40 can?

Your purchase includes a full 18-ounce aerosol can of ZEP40 cleaner ready to use. The product comes with its protective cap and all safety instructions printed on the label. No cleaning accessories such as cloths or squeegees are included with the can.

We recommend using lint-free microfiber cloths for the best streak-free results. See our Product Set section to discover complementary recommended accessories sold separately to optimize your cleaning experience.

How should I store ZEP40 during the Quebec winter?

ZEP40 must be stored at temperatures between 5°C and 30°C, which requires precautions during Quebec’s harsh winter.

Winter storage recommendations:

  • Never leave it in vehicles, garages, or unheated sheds
  • Store indoors in a temperature-controlled area
  • Avoid storing near exterior doors or poorly insulated windows
  • If accidentally exposed to freezing temperatures, bring it back gradually to room temperature over 24 hours
  • Check for any can deformation before use after cold exposure

Sub-zero temperatures can affect internal pressure, reduce spray efficiency, and potentially damage the valve. For professional outdoor use in winter, carry only the quantity needed and keep the rest warm.

Can I use ZEP40 on all surfaces in my home?

ZEP40 is versatile but not universal. It performs best on hard, non-porous surfaces but is not recommended for some materials.

Compatible surfaces:

  • Glass, mirrors, all types of glazed surfaces
  • Stainless steel, chrome, anodized aluminum
  • Porcelain, enameled ceramic
  • Laminates, lacquered furniture
  • Hard plastics, Plexiglas, acrylic
  • Glazed tile, sinks

Incompatible surfaces to avoid:

  • Untreated or delicate varnished wood
  • Fabrics, carpets, textiles
  • Natural or synthetic leather
  • Marble, granite, or porous natural stone
  • Matte or porous painted surfaces

Always test compatibility on a small hidden area before first use on a new or delicate surface. When in doubt, refer to the recommendations of the surface manufacturer.
