Cleaners and degreasers are essential for removing dirt, grime, and oily residues from various surfaces such as parts, electronics and automotive environments. Some cleaners and degreasers may have hazard pictograms on the packaging. Visit our UK REACH page for more information and expertise. Cleaners are for more specialised cleaning with specific formulations for sensitive parts, whereas degreasers are for removing oily residue from components, with some not leaving any residue.

When selecting cleaners and degreasers, you should consider effectiveness and compatibility. If you need a cleaner for a specific task, you should ensure the cleaner is suitable for the application, for example, cleaning electricals. You can find information on compatibility in the material datasheet (MSDS). For general cleaning, it may also be worth considering surface cleaners. Another consideration should be safety and environmental impact of the cleaner. Ensure you are always wearing the correct protective clothing, and dispose of the cleaners and degreasers as described on the packaging. You should also consider the application method of the cleaners and degreasers to make it easy to use. Aerosols tend to be the easiest to apply, but a trigger bottle may provide benefit with heavier cleaning situations. Residue and rinsing requirements are another consideration when selecting cleaners and degreasers and will determine whether the cleaner needs to be removed from the work surface. Finally, you must ensure that the cleaners and degreasers you choose are compliant with the relevant regulations such as COSHH and UK REACH.

FAQs

Are contact cleaners safe to use on electronics?

Contact cleaner is safe to use on electronics as long as you use it correctly. Some electronics will have low insulation properties and will need to be turned off during cleaning until the solution has dried. Also ensure that the cleaner you choose is compatible with any plastic housing and rubber seals to prevent damage and be aware of any flammable properties so you can use and store the cleaner correctly.

Are degreasers flammable?

Oil-based degreasers are usually toxic and flammable.
