Simple Green Industrial Cleaner & Degreaser

Mix it 10:1 in a spray bottle for general interior and door-jamb work, 4:1 for engine bays and stuck grease, and 30:1 for headliners and light dust film — one gallon yields enough working solution to handle a full detailing season for most home detailers. Spray, let it dwell 15–30 seconds on soiled surfaces, agitate with a brush or microfiber, and wipe or rinse off. Community broadly confirms effective single-pass cleaning on common interior soils at 10:1; heavier grease takes the 4:1 ratio and a second pass. The dilution economy is the defining advantage here — the per-use cost undercuts most dedicated detailing APCs significantly.

Home detailers looking for a do-everything concentrate at a budget price point will find this fits nearly the full APC use catalog — interior surfaces, exterior detail spots, engine bays, wheels, and pre-wash. The EPA Safer Choice formula is a genuine differentiator for buyers who want confirmed ingredient safety rather than marketing claims. Buyers who need maximum alkaline grease-cutting power on heavily soiled engine bays or used commercial vehicles may find a dedicated professional detailing concentrate (Meguiar's D101, Mothers Professional) more aggressive at equal dilution; they will trade away the safety profile for cleaning muscle.

The SDS classifies this product as not hazardous under the 2012 OSHA Hazard Communication Standard — no GHS signal word, no H-codes, and no pictograms required. At concentrate strength the pH measures 8.5–9.5 (mildly alkaline), dropping below 8.5 at the recommended 10:1 working dilution, where no GHS health classifications apply. VOC content is 0 g/L per SCAQMD Method 304-91, and the formula carries EPA Safer Choice certification confirming every ingredient meets EPA human health and environmental safety criteria. The product is drain-destined (interior wipe-off via laundry; exterior rinse to storm drain), and the biodegradable, surfactant-based formula breaks down readily in the environment. Scores reflect working-solution chemistry at the 10:1 general-cleaning ratio, not concentrate strength.
