Irl janny here. I've been using Windex instead of the appropriate cleaner on two countertops, and while they look good at a distance, up close they look a lot cloudier/blotchier than they should. What would be required to make them look good as new? Buffing, sanding, refinishing, replacing? I'm a very anxious person and want to know how much damage I'm responsible for.
>>34417170Oh, and I forgot to say, it looks to be a plastic/solid surface material.
>>34417170You can't ask for more surface cleaner?
>>34417241I was being lazy and used the wrong product when I shouldn't have, not knowing it could do damage. It was a very bad mistake. I'm using what I'm supposed to, but I want to know how much it would cost to undo the damage.
>>34417258Chatgpt says it depends on the material. If it's laminate or acrylic, a polish should work.
>>34417170Window cleaner is essentially vinegar, a very mild acid designed to counter the mineral content of most water. Surface cleaners are essentially detergents, ordinary dirt-removers. Windex is thus likely to not do the dirt-removal job. Perhaps all the surface needs is a good dirt-removal cleaning.
