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 custom diluting this concentrate actually save my facility time versus ready-to-use sprays?
Yes. One gallon of Simple Green concentrate yields multiple gallons of ready-to-use cleaner depending on dilution ratio, so your crew spends less time ordering, unpacking, and staging replacement bottles. Dilution stations and sprayer bottles let staff mix exactly what they need and refill on the spot.
Does this cleaner help my team move faster on heavy floor cleaning shifts?
Yes. It is compatible with floor scrubbers, pressure washers, and foamers, which mechanize the heaviest cleaning work. Crews cover more square footage per shift, and the concentrated formula means fewer changeouts of solution tanks, keeping productivity high during long cleaning cycles.
Can one product really replace multiple cleaners on my janitorial cart to speed up routines?
Yes. Simple Green is effective on floors, equipment, vehicles, carpet, tile, and machinery, so janitorial staff can carry a single diluted bottle or bucket instead of five or six specialty chemicals. This simplifies restocking, reduces training time, and keeps carts organized for faster room turns.
Will this help my mechanics clean engines and parts faster between jobs?
Yes. The concentrated formula cuts grease and oil quickly on engines, transmissions, and parts, and is compatible with parts washers and dip tanks. Mechanics spend less time scrubbing and more time turning wrenches, improving bay throughput on busy service days.
Does the concentrated format reduce how often my team has to reorder supplies?
Yes. Because one gallon of concentrate makes multiple gallons of usable cleaner, each purchased jug lasts significantly longer than a ready-to-use product. Purchasing, receiving, and stocking frequency drops, freeing up your procurement and facility teams for higher-value work.
Is this a good choice for a high-volume fleet washing operation that needs fast turnaround?
Yes. Simple Green is compatible with pressure washers and foamers, cuts road grime, grease, and oils quickly, and dilutes economically for high-volume use. Fleet managers get fast, consistent cleaning results while keeping cost-per-truck low across large vehicle counts.
Can this cleaner handle cutting fluids and machining oils on a production line schedule?
Yes. It is specifically formulated to remove cutting fluids, machining oils, and shop soils from manufacturing equipment and floors. Production teams can clean between changeovers quickly, supporting uptime goals and reducing the bottleneck that heavy cleaning creates on tight schedules.
Will using one multi-surface cleaner improve training time for new janitorial hires?
Yes. New staff only need to learn dilution ratios and surfaces for one product rather than a wall of specialty chemicals. That shortens onboarding, reduces mistakes, and gets new hires productive on the floor faster, which matters in facilities with high turnover.
How does Simple Green compare to buying separate floor, engine, and carpet cleaners?
Simple Green replaces those specialty products for most general cleaning, degreasing, and spot treatment tasks. You reduce SKU count on the shelf, simplify ordering, and cut the labor spent switching between chemicals, all while delivering equivalent cleaning performance across surfaces.
How does this compare to other concentrated industrial degreasers on cost per use?
Simple Green's dilution ratios deliver a lower cost per use than most ready-to-use competitors and many competing concentrates. Custom diluting to the task means you never over-apply product, and bulk gallon formats (pack of 1, 2, or 4) drive the per-use cost even lower for high-volume operations.
Is this degreaser compatible with the floor scrubbers and extractors we already use?
Yes. It is engineered to be compatible with floor scrubbers, carpet extractors, steam extractors, pressure washers, foamers, and dip tanks, so you can integrate it into existing workflows without buying new equipment. This protects your equipment investment and keeps cleaning operations running on schedule.
Will diluting this myself slow my crew down compared to grab-and-use sprays?
No. A simple dilution station or pre-mixed labeled sprayers take only seconds to fill and last an entire shift. Most facilities find that the small upfront time investment pays back many times over through reduced restocking, lower chemical spend, and fewer product changeovers.
I am worried this will not perform like my current degreaser. What if it slows us down?
Simple Green is industrial-strength and proven across automotive, manufacturing, and food processing applications. Most operations see equal or faster cleaning times once dilution is dialed in for each task, and crews typically appreciate working with a safer, lower-odor product.
How do I dilute Simple Green Industrial Cleaner and Degreaser for different cleaning tasks?
Dilution depends on the task. For heavy degreasing on engines, machinery, and built-up grime, use the concentrate or a 1:1 mix with water. For general cleaning on floors, walls, and equipment, dilute 1:10 to 1:30. For light cleaning on upholstery, glass, and finished surfaces, dilute 1:50 or weaker. Always start with a milder mix and increase strength if needed, and test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the best way to apply this degreaser for maximum effectiveness?
Apply the diluted solution to the surface, allow 1-3 minutes of dwell time for the formula to break down grease and oils, then agitate with a brush, sponge, or pad as needed. For floors, use a floor scrubber or mop. For vehicles and outdoor surfaces, use a pressure washer. For carpet and upholstery, use a carpet extractor or steam extractor. Rinse with clean water when the job is complete.
Can I use this in a parts washer, dip tank, or ultrasonic cleaner?
Yes. Simple Green is compatible with parts washers, dip tanks, and ultrasonic cleaning systems. Use the concentrate or a strong dilution depending on the level of grease and oil, and replace the solution regularly to maintain cleaning performance. It is safer for workers than solvent-based parts washer fluids and reduces hazardous waste disposal costs.
Is this cleaner compatible with floor scrubbers, carpet extractors, and steam cleaners?
Yes. The formula is engineered to be compatible with floor scrubbers, pressure washers, carpet extractors, steam extractors, foamers, and dip tanks. Follow your equipment manufacturer's recommendations for solution ratios, and rinse the system with clean water after use to prevent residue buildup in hoses and tanks.
Can I use this on metal, painted surfaces, plastic, rubber, and seals without damage?
Yes, when used as directed. The non-corrosive, non-abrasive formula is safe on steel, aluminum, stainless steel, painted metal, powder-coated finishes, most plastics, rubber, and seals. Avoid prolonged contact on aluminum at high concentration, and always test on an inconspicuous area if you are unsure about a specific material.
What is included when I order a 1 gallon jug of Simple Green Industrial Cleaner and Degreaser?
Each order includes one 128 fl oz (1 gallon) jug of Simple Green Industrial Cleaner and Degreaser concentrate with a secure screw-top cap. The product is ready to dilute. You will need to supply your own spray bottles, buckets, dilution equipment, brushes, and applicators based on the cleaning tasks you plan to perform.
Is this cleaner safe if it accidentally contacts skin or gets in eyes?
Simple Green is non-toxic and non-corrosive, but it is a cleaning concentrate. If skin contact occurs, rinse with water. If it gets in eyes, flush with clean water for several minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. The EPA Safer Choice certification reflects safer chemistry, not no caution, so wearing gloves and eye protection for heavy-duty or repeated use is always recommended.
Does this product have a strong chemical smell, and is ventilation required?
The formula has a mild, clean scent that is far less intense than solvent-based degreasers, bleach, or ammonia cleaners. Adequate ventilation is still recommended in enclosed spaces for worker comfort, but the low odor makes it suitable for use in occupied buildings, food prep areas, and customer-facing environments where harsh fumes would be a problem.
What is the difference between Simple Green Industrial Cleaner and household all-purpose cleaners?
Household all-purpose cleaners are formulated for light daily messes and are typically sold ready-to-use in spray bottles. Simple Green Industrial Cleaner and Degreaser is a concentrated, industrial-strength formula designed to cut heavy grease, oils, food residue, and industrial soils. It is custom-diluted for each task, EPA Safer Choice certified, and sold in 1 gallon jugs for high-volume professional and DIY use.
