I still am confused why it is called soda.

Bicarbonate of sodium is called 'baking soda'. Soft drinks are called 'soda' because the acid/baking soda reaction was used before they figured out CO2 injection. This floor cleaner is also made with baking soda, therefore, confusion.

Why the fuck doesn't it say "floor cleaner"?

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

It does, its just in tiny letters that got jpg'd out of existence. On the bottom right, it says "Citrus and Fruits multi-purpose cleaner".

It is legally labelled, our labelling laws just suck.

I can't even read it 😂

because why should they limit it to just floor usage?

Whatever, man. Surface cleaner. That's not the point, is it?
