Questions and Answers for Simple Green 128 oz. Pro HD Heavy-Duty Cleaner

A:  Yes

A:  Yes it can. Not at all toxic or damaging to plants.

A:  Simple Green Pro HD is typically used to clean machinery and automotive parts. For composite decking, you can try using our Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner, which is also available at The Home Depot. Our cleaner should be diluted at a 1:20 ratio, which is 6 oz (3/4 cup) of Simple Green to a gallon of water. This mixture should be sprayed onto a section, scrub any surfaces where there is heavy dirt or grime, and rinse thoroughly with water before the mixture dries.

A:  Our Simple Green Pro HD Heavy-Duty Cleaner can be used to clean surfaces where children and pets inhabit. However, you will want to be sure to dilute our cleaner to an appropriate dilution, such as 1:3 for heavy-duty cleaning, and to rinse thoroughly with water any surfaces that were cleaned, and let dry before allowing children, pets, or any foot traffic back on those surfaces.

A:  Simple Green Pro HD could potentially cause hydrogen embrittlement, especially if used beyond its recommended specs. Pro HD has a decomposition/breakdown temperature of 109 F/42 C so if our cleaner is used to clean metal surfaces beyond this temperature after only a few minutes, it could cause hydrogen embrittlement.

A:  Wouldn't Extreme Simple Green Precision and Aircraft Cleaner be a possible alternative?

A:  For any machinery or automotive parts cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner using Simple Green Pro HD, the minimum dilution should be at least 1:13, which is about 7.1%. This is so there is sufficient corrosion inhibitor from our cleaner to help protect metal surfaces. Also, the temperature of the mixture should be no greater than 109 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 42 Celsius). Pro HD's decomposition/breakdown temperature is 109 F, so heating it above that will cause the cleaner to break down and lose cleaning efficacy.

A:  Simple Green Pro HD Heavy-Duty Cleaner can be used in heated ultrasonic cleaners. The maximum temperature should not exceed 109 degrees Fahrenheit (about 42 Celsius). This is the breakdown temperature and if it is exceeded, the cleaner will start to break down and could become corrosive to certain low grades of aluminum. Also, you will want the minimum dilution to be at least 1:13, which is about 7.1%, or stronger so there is sufficient corrosion inhibitor in the solution to help protect metal surfaces during cleaning.

A:  Pro HD can be used, though it is considered a heavy-duty cleaner that is used to typically clean and degrease machinery and automotive parts. You could also try our Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner, which is also sold at The Home Depot.

A:  Pro HD is a strong cleaner and degreaser typically used to clean and degrease machinery and automotive parts. You may want to use our Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner instead, which is also sold at The Home Depot. Please note that if any soap gets into the pool, it will have to be cleaned out. You will also want to check the pH levels of your pool water.

A:  Our cleaners would not be suitable to strip latex paint from a concrete floor. You would need a paint stripper which is typically an acidic product such as vinegar.

A:  Simple Green Pro HD is typically used to clean and degrease machinery and automotive parts. it can be used at a very light dilution to clean floors and other surfaces. If you are going to clean blue water barrels, you will want to use a light dilution of 1:30 to clean the barrels and triple rinse with water thoroughly.
