Floor Cleaners & Degreasers

About this category

Floor cleaners and degreasers are cleaning formulations that combine general floor cleaning with removal of light to moderate grease that accumulates on floors in commercial facilities, light industrial sites and institutional kitchens. Models differ in chemistry between alkaline and neutral formulations per the product's design, and in form between dilutable concentrates and ready-to-use products. Models differ in packaging, fragrance and suggested application tools. A distinction must be maintained between this category and industrial heavy-duty degreasers used in more demanding applications (such as automotive shops and factories handling heavy greases and industrial oils); heavy-duty industrial degreasers have their own category, distinguished by soil type, application, compatible surfaces and documented safety requirements. The product should not be assumed compatible with every floor surface; some surfaces (such as marble and natural stone) may be damaged by alkaline or acidic products, and compatible surfaces are defined on the product label. These products do not perform disinfection unless the product carries registered claims to that effect. Disinfectants, glass cleaners, restroom cleaners and industrial heavy-duty degreasers are excluded from this category. Industrial buyers select products based on floor type, soil level, documented compatibility and product form.
