Top 5 Advantages of Oil Eater Cleaner and Degreaser


From standard household cleaners to specialized industrial solutions, the market is flooded with cleaning and degreasing solutions — but they’re not all created equal. 

Oil Eater Cleaner and Degreaser stands out as the best heavy duty degreaser available, offering powerful cleaning performance without the downsides of harsh solvents. Below we’ll share what puts it at the top of our list and why it should be your go-to solution for tough cleaning jobs, specifically in heavy-duty industrial and automotive applications.

The Importance of a High-quality Cleaner and Degreaser

Heavy-duty equipment and industrial surfaces are constantly exposed to grease, oil, dirt, and grime. By introducing a safe cleaning and degreasing regimen, you can:

  • Enhance equipment efficiency and limit costly downtime. 
  • Extend equipment lifespan, reduce maintenance costs, and improve overall durability.
  • Improve workplace safety by eliminating slippery oil and grease that can cause slip-and-fall accidents.
  • Ensure regulatory compliance to industry-specific cleanliness standards.

What Makes Oil Eater the Best Cleaner and Degreaser On the Market

Overall, choosing the best heavy-duty degreaser ensures that surfaces remain clean, safe, and operational for as long as possible. We recommend Oil Eater to our customers because of these five key attributes.

1. The Most Powerful Clean

Oil Eater is formulated to break down even the toughest grease, oil, and grime. Unlike many generic cleaners, its advanced formulation penetrates deep into contaminants. This makes it effective even in some of the most demanding applications (e.g. automotive, trucking, manufacturing, industrial).

2. User-friendly & Easy to Apply

One of the standout benefits of Oil Eater is its ease of application. It can be applied with a variety of tools, including: 

  • Handheld spray bottles
  • Pressure washers
  • Steam cleaners
  • Parts washers

This flexibility makes it an ideal solution for repair shops, industrial facilities—even commercial kitchens!

3. Non-toxic & Solvent-free

Unlike many degreasers that contain harmful solvents and chemicals, Oil Eater is biodegradable and free of harsh solvents. This makes it safer for workers, safer for most all surfaces, and safer for the environment as a whole.

4. Versatility

Oil Eater is designed to be used across multiple industries, making it a valuable investment for any business. To name just a few, it can clean:

  • Auto parts and engines
  • Manufacturing equipment
  • Shop floors
  • Warehouse spaces
  • Concrete surfaces
  • Food processing equipment

5. Cost-effective & Concentrated Formula

Oil Eater Cleaner and Degreaser comes highly concentrated, so you can dilute it based on your specific needs. The high concentration extends the product’s usability and offers a serious cost saving compared to pre-mixed solutions.

How to Use It (Recommended Application)

Using Oil Eater effectively requires following a few simple steps to ensure optimal cleaning performance.

Dilution Suggestions

As mentioned above, Oil Eater Cleaner and Degreaser is highly concentrated. Here are some recommended dilution ratios based on your application: 

  • Light cleaning: 10:1 (10 parts water, 1 part Oil Eater)
  • General cleaning: 5:1
  • Heavy-duty degreasing: 1:1 or undiluted for extreme grease buildup

How to Apply Oil Eater Cleaner and Degreaser

  1. Apply the diluted (or undiluted) Oil Eater solution to the surface using a sprayer, brush, or pressure washer.
  2. Let the solution sit for a few minutes to break down grease and grime.
  3. Scrub the surface with a brush or sponge if needed.

Rinsing & Drying

Once you’ve cleaned the surface, rinse it thoroughly with water then allow it to air dry or wipe it down with a clean cloth.

Safety Precautions

One of Oil Eater’s main benefits is that it is non-toxic and solvent-free. However, some extra safety precautions can still be beneficial when handling highly concentrated solutions or working in an industrial setting.

It’s recommended that you: 

  • Wear protective gloves and eyewear
  • Ensure proper ventilation when using in enclosed areas
  • Follow proper disposal guidelines for waste water and residues
