What Is A Degreaser?

Everyone knows how tough grease can be to remove around the house and on clothes.  It is just as much of a headache in commercial facilities. In order to remove this pesky stuff, commercial cleaners use what is called a “degreaser” product.  The objective for a degreaser is to remove the soil quickly, avoiding as much wiping and scrubbing as possible.

A degreaser is a cleaner designed to remove grease and oils; but one size does not fit all.  Grease can be found everywhere from factories to restaurants and understanding the difference is crucial.  A commercial cleaner will understands which product to use based on the facility.  They would know that a different kind of product may be needed to clean grease from the range hood in a restaurant than the grease off of a factory floor. 

Workplace hazards attributed to grease can come in the form of fires hazards, slip and fall hazards, corrosion and overheating, so keeping a clean work area is extremely important.  Many companies pride themselves on the number of days of production without a workplace accident.  Ensuring that there are no grease hazards can help increase that number. According to the Ontario Ministry of Labour, grease or oil spills on floors is one of the leading causes of slip and fall accidents in the workplace.

There are many types of degreasers and good commercial cleaners will be able to match the right product to the right job.  At Wright Cleaning Services Inc, our cleaners are trained to always make the right choice for your facility. Many degreasers contain chemicals that must be handled with the proper care and disposed of in a safe manner.  This is essential for the safety of the company’s employees and for the environment.  The wearing of proper PPE is mandatory to avoid burns to the skin and correct handling of the cleaner is imperative to make sure that the product is used safely around areas where sparks or hot surfaces might create a fire hazard.

Employees go to work each day expecting that their companies will take care of them and keep them working in the safest and healthiest environment possible.  It is a trust that once broken, can be difficult or impossible to earn back.  By hiring a professional cleaning company who is armed with the knowledge and training to do the job properly, business owners can rest easy, knowing that their employees are not being exposed to unnecessary hazards.
