Description

Schaeffer’s Citrol® Citrus Cleaner & Industrial Degreaser is a safe, biodegradable degreaser with astonishing cleaning power. It outperforms solvent, solvent emulsion and alkaline cleaners for removal of heavy greases, carbonized oils, gear lubes, grease buildups, oily deposits, tar and bituminous deposits.

Citrol® is equally effective in soak tanks, pressure spray, foam on and manual cleaning methods, or in high pressure cleaning applications outdoors. It is also one of the few solvents tough enough to remove stubborn printer’s ink.

Reduces Environmental Reporting Requirements

Citrol® is a powerful degreaser that falls outside the EPA and OSHA hazardous waste regulations when mixed with water. Schaeffer developed the products because the EPA and OSHA are moving towards requiring gallon for gallon “use-and-disposal” records of all petroleum products.

This means if you were to buy 55 gallons of kerosene or Stoddard Solvent, you would have to account for the disposal of all 55 gallons. Citrol® is the biodegradable, citrus-based solution.

Cuts through Gear Lube

Nothing is heavier than open gear lube. It’s thick, it’s tacky, and it sticks to anything it touches, even worse than tar. Schaeffer’s Citrol® powers through these heavy greases!
