Heavy Duty Degreasers

More effective than water-based degreasers, these solvent-based degreasers cut through the toughest grease and oils.

Degreasers with a citrus scent contain citrus oil to dissolve adhesives, tars, and waxes. They are nonflammable and free of harmful vapors. Rinse parts and wipe them clean after degreasing.

Degreasers with soybean oil are an economical alternative to degreasers with citrus oil. They leave a coating that helps prevent rust and are also nonflammable.

Degreasers for Removing Carbon Black and Crude Oil

Often used on equipment in the mining, oil, and gas industries, these citrus-based solvents remove carbon black, crude oil, tar, asphalt, and grease. With no flammable or harsh chemicals, they can be rinsed away. They are also NSF registered C1 for use in non-food-processing areas within food-processing facilities. Unlike other solvent-based degreasers, they mix with water so you can dilute them, or you can use them full strength.

Multipurpose Cleaners for Steam Cleaners and Pressure Washers

Pail

These low-foaming cleaners won't damage your steam cleaner or pressure washer. Use them on hard, nonporous surfaces.

Multipurpose cleaners cut through dirt or grease and oil. They rinse clean without leaving a residue.

Multipurpose and disinfectant cleaners remove dirt and kill up to 99.9% of bacteria and viruses. Their no-rinse formula reduces cleaning time. NSF and EPA registered, they’re safe for disinfecting surfaces that will come in contact with food.

Cleaners that cannot be sold outside of the United States are restricted due to product registration requirements.

Floor Sweeping Compounds

Box

Drum

Sprinkle these compounds over floors before sweeping to absorb dirt and dust.

Petroleum-based compounds contain wood fiber and oil. They absorb dirt and dust more effectively than water- and wax-based compounds. Compounds in the 100-lb. box and 300-lb. drum contain sand, which is mildly abrasive to help clean. Compounds in the 150-lb. drum are nonabrasive and leave a shine on finished floors.

Water-based compounds contain wood fiber with water and sand. They are mildly abrasive to help clean. Often used in food-processing environments, they don’t leave a residue.

Wax-based compounds contain wood fiber and wax. They absorb dirt and dust more effectively than water-based compounds. They are also nonabrasive and leave the brightest shine on finished floors.

Compounds that cannot be sold to the regions listed are restricted by local chemical regulations.

Graffiti Removers

Remove graffiti, paint, and varnish from most surfaces.

Wipes remove graffiti in one step. They're abrasive yet nonscratching. However, they may remove or damage gloss coatings.

Removers that cannot be sold to Canada are restricted by local chemical regulations.

Note: Removers in the aerosol can may remove paint and varnish from the original surface. Removers in the spray bottle may remove latex paint from the original surface.

Outdoor Oil Spill Cleaners

Remove oil and fuel spills from asphalt, soil, and other outdoor areas. Unlike sorbents, which absorb spills from the surface, these cleaners bind with oil to form a mixture that can be diluted or rinsed away. They limit the risk that spills will catch fire or release harmful vapors. These noncorrosive cleaners can also be used to clean oil and fuel tanks.
