MEK HAZARDOUS INDUSTRIAL EXPOSURE EFFECTS

I just had wood flooring put down throughout my house, and there were smudgy fingerprints left on the flooring from the glue used during installation.

Excellent product

I use this everyday it performs very well and Lowe's is the only place locally I can get it! I love Lowes it always has what I need for my jobs

It was too expensive, the quantity was too large, and it didn't remove the paint that it was bought to remove.
