It's been used in Europe for several years, and there are several testimonials on the Web. Also used to clean giant telescope mirrors -- there isn't any other way. Cumbersome, effective, yes. Harmful, no. The manufacturer is legally fearful that somebody will drink the stuff and sue. In the US, that could happen. David W. Almy Annapolis, Maryland
