ECO-SHOWER™
Heavy-Duty Cleaner & Degreaser

1500

Introduction

Powerful degreaser in the tradition of Techspray’s Blue Shower® cleaners. Innovative
formula uses naturally-based ingredients like citrus and soy oils to soak in and quickly cut
through oil and grease.

Use full strength for heavy grease or dilute with water for general cleaning (see below for
dilution instructions). Ideal for cleaning tools, parts, shop equipment, motors, and
industrial working surfaces. Leaves high-gloss finish, so ideal for stainless steel.

Convenient pre-saturated wipes available in a pop-up dispenser. Wipe material is low
linting with patented dual-texture that has scrubbing surface on one side, wiping surface
on the other.

One quart (with a trigger sprayer) and one gallon containers are ideal for surface and tool cleaning.
Packaging is selected to be easily recyclable. Quart labels made of recycled paper, and cartons
made of 40% recycled material. Trigger pump on quart eliminates the need for propellants, which
can have a global warming impact.

Eco-ShowerTM Cleaner is fully compliant with CARB (California Air Resource Board) requirements.
Also compliant with European REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization & Restriction of

Chemicals) and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) initiatives. It does not
contain RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) restricted substances, SVHC (Substances of
Very High Concern) list substances, or halides.

grease.

first to allow cleaning agent to break down residues.

• Continue to wipe in a circular motion until the grease or oil is fully removed.

• For thick greases, reapplication may be needed.

• On walking surfaces, mop thoroughly after cleaning.

• Material is easily rinsed by wiping with water dampened cloth.

• Dispose of soiled wipe as appropriate depending on the type of material removed.
