Evidence standard
Primary public-health, poison-control, material-care, and manufacturer guidance takes priority over marketing language or repeated DIY claims. A source link shows where a limit came from; it does not mean that source tested or endorses a Cleaning Recipes formula.
- Routine cleaning is kept distinct from sanitizing or disinfecting.
- Unknown surfaces and finishes default to checking the manufacturer label.
- “Natural” is not used as a synonym for safe, non-toxic, antimicrobial, child-safe, or pet-safe.
- Costs, ratings, reviews, popularity, and testing are not claimed without first-party evidence.
Publishing workflow
- Define the cleaning task and the exact surface or finish.
- Check primary safety guidance and material exclusions.
- Write visible steps, tools, cautions, and limitations in the page—not only in metadata.
- Keep structured data aligned with those visible steps.
- Remove or narrow a page when the evidence is not strong enough.
Current review status
The July 2026 release removes known unsupported claims and adds source notes. That engineering and source-check pass is not a substitute for review by a chemist, toxicologist, veterinarian, appliance technician, stone-care professional, or other qualified specialist.
A page should not be interpreted as approved merely because it remains published. Product labels, appliance manuals, local public-health guidance, and professional advice take precedence.
Corrections and freshness
Source-check dates describe when linked guidance was last visited; they are not fabricated “reviewed” dates. Material changes are version-controlled. A public correction form and named editorial owner are not yet available, so the site does not claim a response-time promise.
If a warning is missing or a finish is not named, stop and use the manufacturer’s directions. Absence of a warning is never evidence of compatibility.
