Industrial cleaning agents
Degreasers are cleaning agents designed to dissolve and remove grease, oil, and similar residues from surfaces.
They range from industrial solvents used on machinery and engine parts to kitchen products for cutting through cooking oils: The mechanic sprayed degreaser on the transmission.
Some are harsh chemicals requiring protective equipment; others are mild enough for household use.
