Small changes in product size & weight lead to lower carbon emissions.
We created Compact by Design to identify products that, while they may not always look very different, have a more efficient design. With the removal of excess air and water, products require less packaging and become more efficient to ship. At scale, these small differences in product size and weight lead to significant carbon emission reductions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will one gallon actually replace the multiple specialty cleaners my team currently stocks?
Yes. Simple Green Industrial Cleaner and Degreaser is designed as a true multi-surface workhorse, replacing separate products for glass, floors, machinery, counters, fabric, and concrete, which simplifies inventory, training, and reordering.
How much downtime does this save compared to abrasive scrubbing?
Significantly. The industrial-strength, non-abrasive formula cuts grease on contact, eliminating the time and labor spent on aggressive scrubbing, repeated applications, and surface repairs from damage.
Can the bulk 1-gallon packaging keep up with high-volume daily cleaning?
Yes. The 1-gallon jug is sized for commercial use, and multi-pack options lower per-unit cost for crews that go through several gallons a week.
Is this compatible with the Simple Green Pro HD dispensing system?
Yes. Simple Green Industrial Cleaner and Degreaser is fully compatible with Simple Green Pro HD heavy-duty dispensers, allowing crews to pre-dilute accurately and speed up end-of-shift cleaning.
Does the lemon scent help mask odors in working facilities?
Yes. The light lemon fragrance leaves workspaces smelling fresh, helping janitorial crews, mechanics, and food service staff maintain a more pleasant environment without chemical odors.
Is this a good degreaser for a busy auto repair shop running multiple bays?
Yes. The concentrated formula handles engine degreasing, parts washing, bay floor oil, and tool cleanup, and the bulk 1-gallon size means crews are not constantly replacing smaller bottles during peak hours.
Will this help my janitorial team clean a large commercial facility faster?
Yes. One product across floors, restrooms, counters, and equipment eliminates the time spent switching chemicals, changing buckets, and restocking multiple SKUs, which compounds into major labor savings across a shift.
Is this a cost-effective choice for high-volume food processing plant cleaning?
Yes. Concentrated performance means a small amount cuts heavy grease and food residue, so each gallon lasts longer, and the multi-pack pricing reduces per-use cost for high-turnover environments.
Can I use this for both routine daily cleaning and heavy periodic deep cleans?
Yes. Dilute for daily maintenance on counters, floors, and equipment, then use it at full strength for periodic deep cleans on heavy grease, carbon buildup, and stubborn stains.
Does the bulk packaging help reduce my team's restocking trips?
Yes. 1-gallon jugs and multi-pack cases mean supply closets stay stocked longer, reducing procurement overhead and last-minute supplier runs that interrupt workflow.
Is this more productive than using separate degreaser, glass cleaner, and floor cleaner?
Yes. Consolidating to a single pH neutral formula that handles all three roles reduces product changeover, training time, storage footprint, and inventory complexity for crews and facility managers.
How does the per-gallon cost compare to buying three or four specialty cleaners?
The per-use cost is typically lower when one gallon replaces multiple specialty products, especially at the multi-pack pricing tier designed for commercial buyers.
Does this compare to Simple Green Pro HD in performance?
It is fully compatible and uses the same core chemistry. Many facilities use the standard gallon for general cleaning and Pro HD for dispensing-system integration, with no performance compromise between the two.
What if my current degreaser works fine and switching feels like a productivity risk?
The risk is low because the pH neutral, multi-surface formula can run in parallel with your existing product for a trial period. Most crews adopt it fully once they see one jug replacing multiple SKUs.
Will crews need retraining to use this safely and effectively?
Minimal retraining is needed. Standard dilution guidelines, dwell time, and rinse protocols apply. The water-based, non-toxic formula actually simplifies safety briefings compared to caustic or solvent products.
How do I dilute Simple Green Industrial Cleaner and Degreaser for different cleaning jobs?
For heavy grease and oil, use full strength or a 1:1 dilution with water. For general surface cleaning, dilute 1:10 to 1:30 depending on soil level. For light daily cleaning of floors, counters, and glass, dilute 1:30 to 1:50. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the best way to apply the degreaser for tough jobs?
Apply directly to the soiled surface, allow 1 to 2 minutes of dwell time for the formula to emulsify grease, then agitate with a brush or cloth and rinse with clean water. For vertical surfaces, apply from the bottom up to avoid streaking.
Can I use this in a pressure washer or automatic floor scrubber?
Yes. The formula is compatible with pressure washers and most automatic scrubbing equipment at the manufacturer's recommended dilution. It is also fully compatible with Simple Green Pro HD dispensing systems for accurate, large-scale dilution.
Is this compatible with Simple Green Pro HD refills and dispensers?
Yes. Simple Green Industrial Cleaner and Degreaser 1-gallon jugs are designed to integrate with the Simple Green Pro HD heavy-duty dispensing system for accurate dilution and high-volume facility use.
Will this product damage or discolor painted, sealed, or finished surfaces?
No. The pH neutral, non-abrasive formula is safe on glass, sealed stone, painted metal, sealed countertops, automotive finishes, and most fabrics when used as directed. Always spot-test delicate or unknown surfaces before full application.
What is included in the box when I order a single 1-gallon jug?
Each order includes one 128 fl oz (1 gallon) Simple Green Industrial Cleaner and Degreaser jug in lemon scent. Multi-pack options ship in cases of multiple gallon jugs. No additional accessories, sprayers, or dispensing equipment are included unless specified in the listing.
Is this product safe for routine workplace and home use?
Yes. The water-based, non-toxic, non-caustic, and non-flammable formula is designed for daily use in homes, offices, manufacturing facilities, auto shops, and commercial kitchens. Standard cleaning PPE such as gloves is recommended for prolonged contact, and food-contact surfaces should be rinsed with potable water after use.
Does this product have any special storage or shelf-life requirements?
Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The formula has a long shelf life when stored properly, and the jug is designed for stable, long-term storage in cleaning closets and supply rooms.
What is the difference between a degreaser and an all-purpose cleaner?
A degreaser is specifically formulated to break down oils, grease, fats, and petroleum-based soils that standard all-purpose cleaners struggle with. Simple Green Industrial Cleaner and Degreaser combines true degreasing power with multi-surface safety, making it a hybrid that outperforms most all-purpose cleaners on heavy soil while still being safe on glass, counters, and fabric.
