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 .
Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.

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 .
