What is it?
This page covers products labelled cream cleanser or an equivalent cream-cleaning use. Formulation, pH, abrasive ingredients and compatible surfaces can differ completely by brand.
How to identify it
Read the original product name, ingredients or warnings, surface directions and method. White cream appearance or the HK nickname 潔而亮 cannot identify the formula.
- Original label states cream cleanser or cream cleaning use
- Label lists compatible surfaces and method
- Formula and abrasiveness are product-specific
Common confusion
Cream cleanser is a product form or category, not automatically a disinfectant. A kitchen degreaser is labelled for grease removal; they are not interchangeable.
Common Hong Kong household uses
Clean only hard surfaces permitted by the label. Rinsing, contact time and tool choice follow that label.
Preparation or handling
Provide ventilation and protection required by the label, test discreetly and use one cleaning product at a time.
Storage
Keep closed in the labelled original container, away from children, food and food packaging.
Helper tip
Do not assume every cream cleanser contains the same abrasive, bleach, acid or alkali. Only the exact label or SDS can confirm these.
What Ma’am or Sir may say
先睇標籤,確認個表面用得先落乳霜清潔劑。The employer wants the exact label checked before the cleanser is put on the surface.
