Product history Clean Chain degreaser is a powerful and revolutionary degreaser. It can be used neat as a gel on the chain, or diluted for use in a chain bath or machine. Clean Chain can even be diluted to make 1 litre of Green Clean bike cleaner. Other companies make degreasers 'with natural orange extract'. Unfortunately, they also contain petrochemicals, and are harmful to you and the environment, (The tin will say this if you read the small print). Clean Chain contains citrus extracts as active ingredients, not a token green gesture, a special detergent made from coconut oil and other powerful yet natural ingredients.
As a concentrated bike cleaner Re using bottles is the way forward. Less energy is used then in bottle production, and less plastic sent to land fill. ........... Clean Chain degreaser is a concentrate of Green Clean bike cleaner. Simply pour Clean Chain into an empty Green Clean 1 litre bottle. Then add 900ml of water (preferably clean rain water from a water butt) to give 1 litre of Green Clean. Recyclable The Clean Chain label is made from the same type of plastic as the bottle. This means it can be recycled. Other companies put foil in the label, or use a different plastic, which can contaminate the recycling stream. The cap is not usually recyclable, as it is made from Polypropylene (plastic type 5). Rather than just putting 'please recycle' on anything plastic, we list the plastic types and are honest about parts more difficult to recycle. (Around 5 councils in the UK recycle polypropylene). Snap Cap technology The 'Snap Cap' is an innovative design. It only needs half a turn to remove, and stays on nicely, even when in your bag when touring. Just 5 years ago, Innocent Drinks lead the way in including 25% recycled plastic in their bottles (now most are 100% recycled plastic). Product reviews Clean Chain degreaser has won awards for performance and innovation, including Cycling Plus Magazine's Best Buy Award. Click below to check them out. There are 4 different ways of using Clean Chain degreaser:
1. As a degreasing anti-lube 2. In a chain cleaning machine However, where disk break pads have oil on them and this is causing the squeak, Clean Chain often works. Simply apply a small amount of Clean Chain neat to the disk, ride slowly, and break a few times. Legal disclaimer: Green Oil UK does not recommend you do this and cannot accept liability if it damages your breaks, affects their function or leads to injury. The whole Green Oil range is green, and PTFE/ Teflon free. Ask your local bike shop for Green Oil if they do not already stock the range. Green Oil is distributed in the UK by Upgrade Bikes.
