Mastering Oil Eater: Best Practices for Automotive and Industrial Applications

In the world of industrial cleaning, Oil Eater has been leading the charge since it emerged. This powerful cleaning solution plays a crucial role in various sectors, such as automotive maintenance, manufacturing plants, and commercial kitchens.

Dilution Recommendations

Oil Eater is a high-performance, environmentally friendly degreaser designed to break down and emulsify grease, oil, and grime. Its versatility makes it indispensable across diverse industries, providing an effective solution for cleaning engines, equipment, and surfaces. They can help clean almost anything from ink to food stains (ketchup, mustard, salad dressing, sauces, baby formula, coffee, etc.), blood, urine, pet stains, tree sap, bird droppings, soot, cigarette and cigar smoke, grease, and carbon–the list goes on and on.

It's sold in many forms and concentrations: 55-gallon drums, aerosols, spray bottles, 5-gallon pails, foam guns, and more. If you opt for Oil Eater in its most concentrated form, generally adhere to a 3:1 dilution ratio–1 ounce of Oil Eater to 3 ounces of water; however, using it undiluted can be great for spot-cleaning stubborn stains and grime. The following tables display the recommended dilution ratios for specific industry uses. 

Best Practices to Follow

Industrial environments present unique challenges that require robust cleaning solutions. Before using Oil Eater on any surface, be sure to do the following: 

1. Conduct a small spot test on your surface before fully diving in to ensure the product does not cause undo damage 
2. Ensure your working surface is cool (Oil Eater can be heated up to 200 degrees F, but you will want your working surface to be cool for optimal results)
3. Remember that the less porous the surface, the more diluted the Oil Eater should be (such as uncoated concrete or no-wax floors)
4. If your surface is slippery after rinsing, add more water to your solution

While Oil Eater is non-toxic and biodegradable, any soiled rags or other cleaning tools should be placed in separate bags from other trash materials and be disposed of in an approved waste facility. Leaving soiled items lying about can increase the risk of potential fires becoming out of control.
