The Daily Battle Against Shop Floor Grime

Daily grease, oil, and dirt accumulation can stain your shop floor and pose slips, trips, and fall hazards for your employees. It can also create a negative impression on employees and discourage customers from doing business with you when they see an unhygienic and dirty workplace. 


A clean, organized shop can instill confidence and boost employee morale while presenting a positive appearance and reasonable client expectations. A high-quality multi-purpose cleaner for auto shops can clean almost everything, including:



  • Floors
  • Workbenches
  • Tools
  • Equipment, such as hydraulic lifts, jacks, and compressors
  • Reusable shop rags (when you add it to the washing machine)
  • Cars — inside and out
  • Safety glasses
  • Stainless steel
  • Enamel
  • Cement
  • Fibre-glass
  • Porcelain
  • Marble
  • Fabric
  • Mirrors
  • Windows
  • Countertops
  • Break rooms
  • Washrooms
  • Waiting areas
  • Wood furniture
  • And more

Why Multi-Purpose Cleaners Are a Game-Changer for Auto Shops

Econo-Clean is a non-toxic formula, making it eco-friendly and safe to use around pets and people, giving you peace of mind. This multi-purpose cleaner concentrate is effective on many surfaces and fabrics, eliminating the need for other industrial cleaning products. It quickly cuts through grease and dirt, making cleaning your shop easier and more efficient — saving you time and money.

Our Multi-Purpose Cleaner Econo-Clean: Not Just Another Cleaning Product

Econo-Clean uses sodium-based lifting agents to deep-clean dirt, grease, and grime — anything that isn’t permanently bonded. The formula is non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-flammable, and non-abrasive if diluted as instructed, making it effective and safe for any application. It leaves behind a light, fresh scent that won’t overpower your senses but enough to know that surfaces are clean. Econo-Clean delves deep into surfaces to address hidden allergens, prevent mould growth, and enhance indoor air quality.


Our
multi-purpose cleaner is highly concentrated, with dilution ratios conveniently on its containers. Dilute the concentrate with water based on your exact usage and save money instead of buying dozens of pre-diluted cleaners. The three most common dilution ratios are 10:1, 30:1, and 120:1.


Here’s what some of our customers have to say about Econo-Clean multi-purpose cleaner:


I have been using Econo-Clean for at least 20 years. Econo-Clean is versatile yet perfect for any cleaning job at home or in the workshop. It’s perfect for tough jobs like removing the oil spots off the garage floor but is gentle enough for shoes, clothing, and windows. We’re on septic, so I love the eco-friendly biodegradable feature. It has a neutral, unpretentious smell and gets the job done.”


“I’ve
used Econo-Clean for over ten years in my retail and automotive businesses. I am extremely pleased with the amazing results Econo-Clean delivers on anything and everything. Using just one highly concentrated product that tackles everything from basic housekeeping to restoration and complete bumper-to-bumper auto detailing has saved us endless time and money.” 

“We have used Econo-Clean for almost three years in our automotive shop. Works great for cleaning glass, floors, cars, and our break room!” - Linda M.


“Great products and great customer service! At our dealership, Chapman Motors in Killarney, MB, we use Econo-Chem cleaning products daily and would recommend anyone who hasn't tried them yet to do so.”
- Brayden P.

How to Use Our Multi-Purpose Cleaner for Maximum Effect

Auto repair shops are susceptible to fluid spills, oil, grease, and rust stains. The longer you leave a stain or spill, the harder it is to remove and the more damage it can cause. The following steps can help you remove a stubborn stain on your repair shop floor:



  • Sweep up any loose dirt
  • Dilute a mixture of Econo-Clean multi-purpose floor cleaner 10:1 — 10 parts water to 1 part concentrate
  • Spray the concrete degreaser cleaner on the stain and allow it to sit for 15 - 20 minutes
  • Scrub with a stiff brush
  • Rinse and wipe dry


Most businesses and homes have dozens of dangerous cleaning products locked away for safety.
Econo-Clean is one of the safest commercial floor cleaners you’ll ever use. It doesn’t contain any bleaching agents, acids, phosphates, or solvents.

The Environmental and Health Benefits

Econo-Clean is very eco-friendly and is 100% biodegradable and water disposable. This means it contains no harmful substances for the environment, so there are no disposal costs to factor in and no need to feel guilty washing it down the drain.
