Cleaners whose makers name ink

2 cleaners, in alphabetical order by maker. The maker's stated use, not a safety recommendation.

General information, not medical advice. HSE: Skin dryness and cracking are early signs of dermatitis and shouldn't be ignored – you should check with your GP or if available, your occupational health service if you notice these signs. (source)
