Expert Analysis

This concentrate leverages dual-action chemistry by pairing d-limonene's solvent properties for dissolving oils and greases with sodium hydroxide's alkaline strength for breaking down stubborn soils. The waterless formulation maintains ingredient stability in concentrate form while allowing flexible dilution ratios from 1:28 to 1:45 depending on cleaning intensity needed.

Key Differentiators

  • Waterless concentrate format reduces shipping costs and storage space while maintaining full cleaning effectiveness when diluted
  • Dual-chemistry approach combining citrus terpene solvency with strong alkaline action (pH 12-13) for versatile soil removal

Potential Concerns

  • Very high pH (12-13) requires careful handling and may damage sensitive surfaces like aluminum or painted components
  • Strong alkaline chemistry with 'Danger' signal word necessitates proper PPE and ventilation during use
