A highly concentrated citrus-based alkaline cleaner that functions as both a pre-wash and all-purpose cleaner, dilutable up to 1:100 for versatile decontamination tasks. Garage Therapy /ZERO: Citrus contains chelating agents that bind dissolved minerals, helping it clean effectively in hard water conditions. The formulation is also verified biodegradable based on SDS ecological data.

Expert Analysis
The formulation combines d-limonene citrus solvents with disodium metasilicate alkaline builders and biodegradable sugar-based surfactants to create a dual-action cleaning system. The citrus components dissolve organic soils and traffic film while the alkaline chemistry tackles inorganic contamination, with the high dilution ratio allowing users to adjust aggressiveness based on contamination levels.
Key Differentiators
- •Exceptional dilution range up to 1:100 provides significant cost efficiency and application flexibility
- •Dual citrus-alkaline chemistry offers both solvent and alkaline cleaning mechanisms in one product
- •Antifungal properties with mold spore elimination capability extend beyond typical APC functions
Potential Concerns
- ⚠High pH of 12.5 requires careful dilution adherence to prevent damage to sensitive surfaces or protective coatings
- ⚠'Danger' signal word indicates significant safety risks requiring proper PPE and handling precautions
- ⚠Claims of being 'non-caustic' contradict the high alkaline pH and hazardous classification
