Part of the Cleaning Kit: Lifestyle Edition

This heavy-duty cleaner is an extra-tough degreaser which works to remove grime and grease with ease. Designed for challenging soils in kitchens, garages and utility areas, this liquid cleaner combines robust surfactant systems with builders and solvents for high soil loading and rapid rinse-off.
 
The formulation combines chelation, surfactant technology and solvent cleaning to help remove oily residues, lift soils and maintain cleaning efficiency in hard water environments. In addition to effective cleaning performance, the inclusion of Litsea Cubeba essential oil introduces a bright citrus fragrance, adding a pleasant sensorial element to the formulation.
 

Appearance and directions for use

Key Featured Ingredients 

MGDA 3NA 40% (Jackchem) 

A biodegradable chelating agent that complexes calcium and magnesium ions, helping maintain cleaning efficiency in hard water and preventing mineral deposits on surfaces.
 
Methylglycine N,N-diacetic acid, trisodium salt (MGDA) 

Berol ENV226 Plus (Nouryon) 

An environmentally improved non-ionic surfactant blend providing wetting, emulsifying and dispersing properties for effective grease and soil removal in alkaline or acidic cleaners. 

Non-Ionic and Cationic Blend 

Rhodiasolv Infinity E (Syensqo) 

A unique concentrate that replaces traditional solvents (such as D-limonene) for the formulation of non-labelled and environmentally friendly cleaners. Rhodiasolv Infinity E has excellent degreasing properties and is suitable for water-based formulations. 

Solvent 

Ethylan X4 (Nouryon) 

Ethylan X4 is engineered for performance where cleaning efficiency and foam control matter most. With its narrow range and multi-branched 4.5 EO structure, it delivers rapid wetting and strong grease-cutting action while maintaining a naturally low and unstable foam profile, enabling the elimination of hydrotropes in the formulation. 
 
Alcohol Ethoxylate (C10 + 4.5EO) 

Ethylan 1008 (Nouryon) 

A versatile non-ionic surfactant based on a synthetic alcohol, employed as a fragrance solubiliser/emulsifier. It is an excellent emulsifier of fragrance in aqueous formulations. 

Alcohol Ethoxylate (C10 + 8EO)
 

Litsea Cubeba Essential Oil (O&3) 

A citrus essential oil that provides a bright, uplifting fragrance combined with antimicrobial properties making it suitable for use in multi-surface cleaners and degreasers. It offers a fresh take versus traditional citrus options such as orange and lemon.
