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 Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and inhalation risk, Skin and eye contact irritation, Slipperiness and fall hazard and VOC off-gassing from cured coating on the WD-40 and not on the Pledge.
  • The Pledge is mineral oil, argan oil blend where the WD-40 is silicone spray coating, formulation undisclosed, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Pledge is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the WD-40 grade, at 35% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.

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 →
