Pledge Multi Surface Cleaner Review - Left A Film On My Wood

Ethel shared her review of Pledge Multi Surface Cleaner.

Ethel says:

Recently I tried this product for the first time.


I have used Pledge in my home religiously for over a decade and have been pleased with most of their products. I was excited to try this out because the idea of being able to use the same spray for polishing and cleaning my wood furniture, and also to clean glass and electronics at the same time, seemed like a great thing.

This product however left me a little unimpressed. It does an OK job cleaning glass and non-wood hard surfaces, but tends to leave a film on the cabinets and other wood. I tried it on my wood cabinets, desk, dining set and curio, and entertainment center, and all got a filmy look to them.

I thought maybe it needed to be buffed out like some polishes do. However this did not take the filmy look away. I had to completely scrub down my entire kitchen to get it off the cabinets and start over with a different cleaner (my regular old Pledge Lemon scent).

I did write the company and received a free coupon to replace it, which was very nice of them, but I will never buy the Pledge Multi Surface Cleaner again that's for sure.

Taylor says:

Thanks Ethel for your review of this product.

I have received a couple of reviews of the Pledge Multi Surface wipes, and no one mentioned this problem. I wonder if there is a difference between the spray and wipes, or if others have experienced this same problem with hazy film?

I would love to hear from more people who have used this product to hear how it works for you, either good or bad. You can share your wood furniture cleaner and polish reviews here, or your general purpose cleaner reviews here. You can also read other reviews which have already been submitted.

I Wish I Hadn't Tried Pledge Multi Surface Cleaner

I received this short review of Pledge Multi Surface Cleaner from Nancy.

Nancy says:

This product has ruined my cabinets. It has left streaks that nothing, so far, has been able to remove.

In addition, I used it on my TV screen and it has left a blotchy film that I'm afraid to try and remove with anything else in case I cause further damage.

Taylor says:

Nancy, I'm so sorry to hear your problems with this product.

It is interesting that you shared this complaint, because another reader (above) had a similar issue with it on their wood. Strangely though, I've gotten glowing reviews of the Multi Surface wipes, at least so far, on both wood and glass.

I am curious to hear from more people who have tried the spray version of this product, versus the wipes, to see if there really is that much of a difference.

You can share your cabinet cleaners review here for this, or any other product, telling me which one works well for you, or that disappointed you.
