Yes, you can use the 30ml Super Concentrate in dilution of one 30 ml Super Concentrate sachet + 190 ml clean water as a mild chain degreaser (1 x 30 ml sachet + 190 ml water). The normal Concentrate can be used undiluted for this purpose. Soak the chain in the solution for at least 30 minutes, rinse with clean water and repeat if necessary.
Depending on how stubborn the dirt/grease that you want to remove is, the Super Concentrate can be diluted to a strengh of 1 x 30 ml sachet +190 ml water. Stronger dilutions are not recommended. Standard concentrate can be used to a dilution of 1:5 for stubborn dirt or undiluted for mild degreasing. Always test dilution on a small area of the material to ensure safety of use.
Our Biodegradable Bike Cleaner Super Concentrate can be used as a bike wash solution by diluting 1 x 30 ml sachet with 720 ml clean water. The most convenient way to dilute your super concentrate is to pour the contents of a 30 ml Super Concentrate Sachet into a 750 ml spray bottle and fill it with 720 ml water. Shake to make sure the concentrate is dissolved completely before using it as a bike cleaner to spray directly onto your bike. For mild degreasing, use one 1 x 30 ml sachet with 190 ml clean water. Always test your solution on a small area of the material before continuing.
The Biodegradable Bike Cleaner Super Concentrate is our Bike Cleaner in most concentrated form. It is also more economically priced for those that prefer to mix their own bike cleaner in the concentration they prefer. The standard Concentrate is ideal for bike wash bays where mixing of small sachets is too time consuming. It is not as concentrated as the 30 ml sachets. The Ready-to-use Foam Spray is conveniently pre-diluted and can be sprayed directly onto your bicycle for general cleaning.
