Are there any surfaces I should spot-test first?

Spot-test on a small hidden area before first use on: wood and bamboo chopping boards (the alkaline formula can dry out untreated or oiled wood with repeated use, so wipe and re-oil as needed); natural stone benchtops like marble, limestone, or unsealed travertine (delicate or porous stone can react to alkaline cleaners); coated or treated stone surfaces with sealants like Enduroshield (the formula may interact with the coating); non-stick coated cookware (avoid where possible). For everyday surfaces (laminate benchtops, plastic chopping boards, glass splashbacks, ceramic, sealed stone, stainless steel), Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner is fine without spot-testing.
