The Best Ways to Degrease

De-greasers are solvents made to break down and release oil from clothing, skin and other objects. Biodegradable and safe degrease products are a great way to degrease as well as the citrus-based products. Citrus oils are extracted from the rinds of oranges. These oils release into the atmosphere if they were not gathered and used by humans. Their use on kitchen appliances and utensils should be verified by reading the product's label and directions.

“Cleaners Bermondsey” provide more informartion about the oils use and the best ways to degrease:

Human or Animal

The skin on a human and the skin and coat on an animal contain oils that need to be maintained. Caustic degreasers can remove those oils. Mild detergents such as dish soap or baby shampoos work well. Dissolve the detergents in a 50-50 solution with water before actually using them. Trying anything stronger can irritate the skin and make it red and itchy. To clean the grease off an animal, use a diluted detergent or citrus degreaser and keep the product on the exposed fur. Remember!DO NOT rub deeply into the base of the fur or skin!

Keep It Green

Simple Green solutions are appropriate for degreasing just about anything, according to “Earls Court cleaners”. Products or recopies that include ammonia are not good for the skin, mucous membranes and can irritate the eyes. Instead use vinegar mixed with lemon juice and baking soda. Baking soda is a great scrubbing tool and a deodorizer. The lemon juice cuts the grease. The vinegar has solvent qualities and disinfectant abilities. Always read carefully the product labels and strictly follow the directions on them before use. Chemical reactions such as mixing vinegar with bleach, ammonia or other chemicals may cause noxious fumes.

Counter Tops, Pots and Pans

The kitchen hide a certain risk when it comes to degreasing with caustic products, due to residue or forgotten or poorly rinsed items. It is better to work with biodegradable or mild detergent products. If you worry about the products ingredients, search the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health chemical database for further confirmation about irritants and toxic substances.
