Degreaser

About

Degreaser strips baked-on chain grime, engine grease and road grit before you relube. Putoline Chain and Engine Degreaser lifts oily buildup off drive chains and casings, while concentrate options dilute down for workshop-scale cleaning. Spray, let it dwell, agitate with a brush, then rinse and dry fully before you re-oil the chain for proper protection. Pick the right degreaser for the job Ready-to-use sprays suit fast chain cleaning between rides, while concentrates earn their place in a busy workshop. The choice comes down to dilution, volume and how aggressive the buildup is. Type Best for Dilution Format Ready-to-use spray Drive chain and engine casings 0% (use neat) Putoline Chain and Engine Degreaser Concentrate Workshop and bulk cleaning Up to 1:20 ratio, 20L drum KK Degreaser Concentrate How to use it correctly Apply degreaser to a cool engine, never above roughly 40C, to stop it flashing off before it works. Let it dwell 3 to 5 minutes so the solvent penetrates 100% of the grime layer, then agitate with a brush. O-ring and X-ring chains need a chain-safe formula because harsh solvents attack the rubber seals that hold 70% to 90% of the factory lubricant inside each link. Finish the job Always rinse with low-pressure water, not a 1500 PSI jet that forces water past chain seals. Dry the chain fully, then relube within 10 minutes while the rollers are still warm. A clean, well-lubed chain can add 5,000 to 15,000 km of service life and recover up to 3% of drivetrain efficiency lost to friction. Keep a 20L concentrate on hand if you service multiple bikes weekly.
