When it comes to professional cleaning, using a reliable degreaser is key. Grease and oil can be tough to remove, but they need to be completely removed before you can start painting, coating, or gluing. If a surface isn’t properly degreased, any new layer of paint, coating, or glue may not stick well, leading to issues like peeling paint or weak bonds. This is especially true for machinery—keeping them clean not only ensures they work efficiently but also extends their lifespan, saving you money in the long run.

While traditional degreasers are widely used, they come with significant risks. Common options like acetone, thinner, ammonia, and turpentine are not only flammable but also full of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These substances, derived from petroleum, are harmful to both the environment and human health. VOCs can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, throat, and lungs, and they contribute to environmental issues like climate change. Because of their hazardous nature, handling and storing these chemicals require strict safety measures.

Aggressive degreasers like acetone, turpentine, and ammonia are still used regularly in industrial settings, despite being recognized as dangerous and even carcinogenic by authorities such as the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment (SZW).

Creating a healthy and safe work environment is crucial for both employees and the planet. Fortunately, there are eco-friendly alternatives available that are both effective and safe to use.
