Matching the Chemical to the Job
Match the cleaner to the surface, the soil and the application method. Water-based detergents suit general cleaning, while solvent degreasers cut heavy oil and grease faster. Aerosols suit spot cleaning, and bulk containers suit regular, high-volume use. For metal finishing, Pferd metal cleaners are available for stainless and mild steel. For more on selecting cleaning agents, see our Quick Guide to Cleaning Agents.
Using Cleaning Chemicals Safely
Read the label and the manufacturer's SDS before use, wear the PPE specified, and use good ventilation, especially with solvent products. Never mix different cleaning chemicals, as some combinations, such as bleach and ammonia, release toxic gas. Follow the label dilution rates and test on a small hidden area first if you are unsure about compatibility.

People Also Ask — Cleaning Chemicals
Q: What is the risk of mixing different cleaning chemicals together?
Cleaning chemicals should never be mixed. Some combinations, such as bleach and ammonia, release toxic gas. Follow the label's dilution instructions rather than combining products to get a stronger result.
Q: How do I choose between a detergent and a degreaser?
A detergent is a water-based cleaner for general cleaning. A degreaser is built to cut heavier oil and grease and may be solvent-based. If the job is heavy oil on machinery or parts, start with degreasers. For general benches, floors and equipment, start with detergents and cleaners.
Q: Which cleaner should I use on electrical equipment?
Use a product made for electrical work, such as a contact cleaner or the CRC Lectra Clean range, with the equipment isolated and de-energised. Let the solvent evaporate fully before reconnecting power.
Q: What pack sizes do cleaning chemicals come in?
Sizes range from 400g aerosols and 500ml bottles through 5L, 15L and 20L containers, up to 200L and 1000L on selected lines.
Q: Where do I find the SDS for a cleaning chemical?
Each product comes with a manufacturer SDS and label covering dilution, PPE, handling and disposal. Contact our team if you need help finding it.
