Product Description

Agar Dirt-Off – Ultimate Heavy-Duty Degreaser Cleaner

Obliterate the toughest industrial grease, embedded carbon, and heavily baked-on oils with Agar Dirt-Off Heavy-Duty Degreaser. Formulated for uncompromising performance, this premium, high-alkaline commercial degreaser cleaner is the ultimate solution for demanding environments where standard detergents completely fail. It chemically attacks and breaks down the most resilient molecular bonds of synthetic oils and animal fats, transforming stubborn, sticky messes into a soft, easily removable liquid. This drastically reduces the manual scrubbing required, delivering outstanding results on a massive variety of indoor and outdoor surfaces.

Versatility and efficiency are at the core of the Dirt-Off formula. Not only is it an incredibly potent manual spot cleaner, but its controlled-foaming profile makes it highly suitable for use inside heavy-duty auto-scrubbers, heated steam cleaners, and commercial pressure washers. Infused with a pleasant fragrance to mask harsh industrial odours, this highly concentrated industrial surface degreaser remains perfectly safe on most washable hard surfaces, including stainless steel, glass, and porcelain. Whether you are washing down greasy train carriages, restoring grimy BBQ hotplates, or deep-cleaning a commercial engine bay, Agar Dirt-Off is the definitive powerhouse for industrial maintenance.

Who Is This Heavy-Duty Degreaser Ideal For?

Agar Dirt-Off delivers rapid, chemical-based grease removal. It is highly recommended for:

Industrial & Automotive Workshops: Stripping thick synthetic engine oil, hydraulic fluids, and black carbon buildup from concrete floors, metal tools, and vehicle engine bays.
Commercial Kitchens & Hospitality: Aggressively cutting through polymerized cooking oils and animal fats on stainless steel exhaust hoods, deep fryers, and heavy-duty BBQ grills.
Contract Cleaners & Pressure Washers: Utilizing the chemical in downstream injectors to rapidly break down heavy environmental soot and tire marks from outdoor driveways and brick walls.
Public Transport Maintenance: Efficiently washing down train carriages, bus exteriors, and vinyl upholstery that suffer from severe daily grime and pollution.

Key Features and Performance Benefits:

High-Strength Alkaline Formula: Aggressively attacks and liquefies thick grease, heavy oils, carbon soot, and industrial grime, drastically reducing the need for manual scrubbing.
Machine & Equipment Safe: Formulated to work flawlessly when passed through commercial pressure washers, auto-scrubbers, and hot water steam cleaning machines.
Highly Concentrated Economy: Delivers immense cost savings; the potent formula can be heavily diluted with water for routine maintenance, meaning one 5L drum lasts for months.
Broad Surface Compatibility: Extremely effective yet safe to use on most washable surfaces, including stainless steel, sturdy painted finishes, glass, aluminium, and vinyl.
Pleasantly Fragranced: Unlike toxic-smelling industrial solvents, Dirt-Off leaves behind a clean, pleasant scent, significantly improving operator comfort in enclosed workshops.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an alkaline degreaser?

An alkaline degreaser has a high pH level. It works via a chemical process called saponification, which reacts directly with heavy oils, fats, and grease, turning them into a soap-like substance that can be easily dissolved and rinsed away with water.

Can I put this degreaser inside my pressure washer?

Yes, absolutely. Dirt-Off is highly compatible with pressure washers. You can pour it into your machine's chemical tank or use it with a downstream foam injector to apply a heavy degreasing layer to driveways or machinery before blasting it off.

Is it safe to use on painted car panels?

Dirt-Off is a high-strength industrial degreaser. While safe for 'painted finishes in good condition' (like tractors or trailers), it is generally too aggressive to use as a daily wash on luxury car clear-coats. For cars, use it specifically for the engine bay or undercarriage.

Will this clean my burnt BBQ grill?

Yes, it is exceptionally effective at breaking down the thick, baked-on carbon and animal fats found on commercial and domestic BBQ hotplates and grills. Ensure you rinse the grill thoroughly with fresh water before cooking.

Do I need to dilute the 5L drum?

Yes, this is a highly concentrated formula. For extreme, caked-on engine grease, you can use it neat or dilute it 1:1. For general heavy-duty floor mopping or pressure washing, you can dilute it up to 1:50 or 1:100 with water.

Does it have a toxic chemical smell?

No. Despite its heavy industrial strength, Agar has formulated Dirt-Off with a pleasant fragrance. This makes it much safer and more comfortable for operators to use in poorly ventilated commercial kitchens or enclosed mechanic workshops.

Can I use it to mop the floors in my mechanic shop?

Yes. It is the perfect chemical for cutting through hydraulic oil, transmission fluid, and engine grease that has leaked onto sealed or unsealed concrete workshop floors.

Is it safe to use in a ride-on auto-scrubber?

Yes. The formula is designed to have a controlled foam profile. This means it won't produce massive amounts of suds that could overflow the recovery tank and damage the vacuum motor in your expensive auto-scrubber.

Will this remove hard water stains or rust?

No. Alkaline cleaners (like Dirt-Off) target organic soils like grease and oil. To remove hard mineral deposits like calcium scale or rust, you need an acidic cleaner.

Is it safe for aluminium?

While many harsh alkaline degreasers will severely burn or turn aluminium white, Dirt-Off is formulated to be safer on sensitive metals like aluminium and stainless steel when used at the correct dilution ratios and not left to dry on the surface.

Should I use hot or cold water to mix it?

While it works excellently in cold water, mixing Dirt-Off with hot water significantly increases its chemical reaction speed, helping it melt away heavy animal fats and cooking oils much faster.

Do you offer wholesale pricing for automotive workshops?

Yes, Freshway Supplies provides competitive bulk carton pricing and trade accounts for mechanic workshops, commercial kitchens, and industrial cleaners. Contact us to set up your trade account.
