Can Rescue® Disinfectants be used on hardwood floors?
Yes, Rescue® can be used effectively on treated hardwood and laminate. We would not recommend using Rescue on porous surfaces (such as untreated hardwood).
Rescue is designed for use on hard, non-porous surfaces such as treated hardwood, exam tables, stainless steel, and most plastics. If your hardwood floors are untreated (and therefore porous), we would not recommend using Rescue as we can’t predict how the surface will react with the chemistry, or if you will be achieving disinfection.
If you do decide to use Rescue on your untreated hardwood floors, we would first recommend conducting a spot test to observe if Rescue will have any damaging effects on the integrity of the material, before proceeding.
