One of the ingredients is sodium hypocholorite, an ester salt. The directions say that it can "darken" metal with a rusty coloration and cause "spots" on cloth. The only precautions on the label is don't let kids or pets drink it and flush eyes out thoroughly with water if it splashes into your eyes. I have used it for many years and a little goes a long way. Just a spritz or two on the affected areas of the action will solve most of the mold/mildew accumulation. I have used it on upholstery as well as metal surfaces without any ill effects....your milage may differ however...test a small section first. The label containing, presumably, the manufacturer info is missing from my bottle but the next time I go to the store I will look and let you know. Jim Bryant (FL)
