7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using Nature's Orange D-Limonene, consider the following:

• Odor Persistence: For strong odors, ensure direct application or a higher concentration is used, followed by proper ventilation. Repeat application if necessary.
• Skin Irritation: If skin irritation occurs despite wearing gloves, discontinue use and consult a medical professional. Ensure gloves are intact and appropriate for chemical handling.
