PINE-SHOWER™
Degreaser & Surface Cleaner

Introduction

Leveraging the cleaning power of pine, Pine-Shower quickly removes grease and other
soils, and leaves a non-oily finish.

Does not contain butyl cellosolve, which is common in many degreasers and surface
cleaners, and has potential negative health effects. Under California guidelines (CARB),
Pine-Shower has zero VOC, and has a less than 3% VOC under EPA guidelines.

Pine-Shower is economical and considered ready-to-use, but can be diluted for light
surface and equipment cleaning. Pine

(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

About TECHSPRAY RENEWTM

TECHSPRAY RENEWTM is a brand that represents High Performance Eco-CleaningTM.

Directions

• Spray and saturate the soiled area. Let soak for 30-60 seconds depending on thickness of the
grease.

• Using a lint-free wipe (we recommend Techspray 2364-50 or 2365-300 wipes), wipe lightly at
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.
