Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components, Mineral oil respiratory risk (inhalation), Surface buildup and degradation over time and Flammability on the Pledge and not on the WD-40.
  • We flag Inhalation risk (petroleum distillate vapor and propellant), Skin and eye irritation from direct contact, Flammability (furniture fire risk if misapplied) and Propellant exposure (potential respiratory irritant) on the WD-40 and not on the Pledge.
  • The Pledge is mineral oil, argan oil blend where the WD-40 is mineral oil, lithium soap thickener, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.

Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
