    What will remove rust and battery acid from garage floor
    ByMay 22, 2025
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    It is likely that battery acid would etch the concrete, this is damage that cannot be undone. However, if there is any residual acid, Industrial Purple would neutralize and remove it. The rust penetrates the pores of the concrete, so the staining is usually deep into the concrete rather than on the surface. An acid can be used to remove rust, but it will also have an etching effect on the concrete. Calcium Lime and Rust Remover can be used as long as the etching is acceptable. It will remove surface rust and may be effective if the rust stain is very fresh/new. Before using any of these products, we recommend testing in a small, inconspicuous area first.

        @Zep rep can you confirm if it is safe to use on BBQ?
        ByMay 3, 2024
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Hi Steve, we wouldn't recommend using this product on your BBQ. This product is for use on heavy machinery, engines, parts, garages, construction equipment, fiberglass, unfinished concrete, masonry and asphalt. We would recommend using Zep Fast 505 Degreaser and Cleaner (ZU50532) as it is for use on metal and grills. Please see back label for proper usage instructions.

            Can I use purple degreaser in my auto scrubber and what’s the mix saying ratio?
            ByJan 23, 2024
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Hi, Bill! Thank you for your question. Zep Concentrated Industrial Purple Degreaser can be applied with a mop, brush, low pressure sprayer, or automatic scrubbing machine. For best results, mix 5 ounces of Zep Concentrated Industrial Purple Degreaser with one gallon of "hot" or "warm" water. Use a cotton mop of long handle shop brush to apply solution and let it sit and work for 5-8 minutes. Use auto scrubber to scrub floor scrub floor. Keep floor wet, DO NOT allow floor to dry. Use a mop or wet vac to pick up solution and rinse well with clean water. I hope this helps!

                Can I use this product to clean a/c coils?
                ByAug 24, 2023
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                Alkaline sensitive surfaces should be avoided. In addition, multiple rinsing may be required to ensure that all detergent is removed from the coils. Zep Foaming Coil is an alternative option. When used as directed Zep Foaming Coil Cleaner, quickly penetrates soils on coil surfaces, so they loosen and flush away with condensation. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us at 1-888-805-4357.

                  Love Zep’s products!!
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this to refill my spray bottle when it’s low and also I used it in my washer added to my laundry detergent to wash my work clothes. I work in a restaurant so I will get grease on the front of my shirts and pants. It helps get the grease and smell out of my clothes. It cleans whatever you need it to clean in shops or at home working on cars.

                      Good value
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a big jug of zep degreaser for my husband because he is always working on something that needs fixing. Mainly our cars....he frequently gets grease and oil all over and it's hard to clean properly and fully get the oil off surfaces etc. He says he really likes Zep and you get a lot for a good price. He's used it to clean up a bunch of bolts on his car.

                          Brand recognition in a concentrate
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gallon concentrate must be diluted to work on light or heavy soils depending on the problem. Instructions included on bottle. Light concentration cleaned up buildup on hand tools. Can be applied with spray, mop, or rag onto surface and then wipe and rinse. Did not have any heavy grease concentrations to try this on. Did OK job on concrete even after letting concentration sit for 10 minutes. Ok for general purpose cleaning jobs.

                                Worked extremely well
                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Zep industrial degreaser worked so well on the really greased up tools in my shed that we used for our cars and oiling up bolts and nuts. It also cleaned the grease up off of the floor in my shed and that's something that I didn't think would ever come off. It's a powerful degreaser that cleans with a gentle foam and I feel lucky to have such a awesome cleaner to remove machinery Grease and other grime. Whenever I put it on my work surface it wiped up the grease like Dawn cleans the countertop. It's an amazing degreaser. It can be used for heavy machinery, tools, your workshop area even on unfinished concrete. If you don't have this I definitely recommend it.
