Hello AC friends. Looking for a good/great de greaser or cleaner? I've used Simple Green, Brake Cleaner, Parts Cleaner Solvent and want your suggested "Go To" cleaner or degreaser. Thank you. |

If you have a Sams Club in area they have some commercial cleaners by the gallon - one good one is a heavy duty de-grease and grill cleaner - they also have grease and floor cleaner for lighter work . A floor stripper and wax remover is also good for light work or wax removal . Gunk CS concentrate mixed with diesel also works but the emulsion may be something else to deal with after use when washed with water . ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.

One thing that I have used to degrease nasty engines and nasty tractors is oven cleaner, I wouldn't advise getting it on good paint. Super clean is the other if you have a pressure washer, it works pretty well. Tad |

| If you're degreaseing a concrete flour put kerosene on it and let it soak for a while, then broom it with a stiff broom. After everything is emulsified real well throw kitty litter on and let it set until dry and sweep it up. Cleans a floor better and with less work than anything else that I ever used.There are no stains left. |

| I use Blue Wolf for machinery. I spray it on the entire machine and let it set for 5 min. and pressure wash off. Wal Mart has it in one gallon size. Not expensive. |

Wrong time of the year for them kerosene, diesel or gas floor cleaners as fumes and heat source create a explosive mixture just waiting for the right condition to be set off . ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.
