Home Renovations / By

Furniture and other surfaces in the home require routine cleaning and maintenance to keep them looking their best. However, one common issue is deciding which product to use, especially between the two popular ones around – Endust and Pledge. That brings us to the question – Which is better between Endust and Pledge?

Both Endust and Pledge do a great job at cleaning and restoring shine to drab-looking surfaces. However, my verdict on this subject is that Pledge is better because it has a wide range of product offerings. Also, Pledge PH Balance Multisurface Cleaner is more versatile at cleaning various surfaces than Endust Multi-Surface Dusting And Cleaning Spray. 

In the rest of this article, we will venture into a detailed comparison of Pledge and Endust using criteria like their performance, and product offerings. We will also talk about how to use these products and safety tips to follow.

Endust vs. Pledge – Performance Comparison

For the purpose of this performance comparison, we examine how the multipurpose cleaners from both brands compare with one another. Specifically, we will see how Endust Multisurface Dusting And Cleaning Spray stack up against Pledge PH Balance Multisurface Cleaner. To achieve this, we will evaluate their performance on various surfaces like wood, glass, and leather.

Endust Multi-Surface Dusting And Cleaning Spray vs. Pledge PH Balance Multisurface Cleaner – Performance On Wood

Pledge and Endust produce similar results when used on wood surfaces like countertops, tables, chairs, cabinets, and more. They leave the surfaces smooth and shining. However, they are strictly for use on finished and sealed wood surfaces only.

Using them on unsealed wood surfaces risks causing severe damage because they contain chemicals that can penetrate into the wood.

Endust Multi-Surface Dusting And Cleaning Spray vs. Pledge PH Balance Multisurface Cleaner – Performance On Glass

When it comes to cleaning glass surfaces, Pledge does a better job than Endust. The Endust multipurpose cleaner leaves an annoying streak on glass surfaces. On the other hand, Pledge multisurface cleaner will smoothen minor scratches on glass surfaces and make them clean, streak-free, and polished.

And thankfully silicone is not harmful to glass hence, you don’t have to worry about damaging your glass surfaces. You can use Pledge on your glass windows, doors, mirrors, and even eyeglasses. However, it should not be used for drinking glasses.

Endust Multi-Surface Dusting And Cleaning Spray vs. Pledge PH Balance Multisurface Cleaner – Performance On Leather

Both Pledge and Endust multisurface products can be used on sealed leather surfaces like shoes, belts, and furniture. They clean and polish leather surfaces to a smooth finish.

Endust Plant-based Multi-Surface Dusting And Cleaning Spray

The Multi-surface spray we discussed above is made of harsh chemicals which are harmful to the environment.
