All-Purpose Cleaners

Two everyday chemistries that cover most daily cleaning: the Lavender All-Purpose Cleaner handles routine grease and grime on nearly any hard surface, while the 5% Cleaning Vinegar dissolves mineral deposits, calcium scale, and soap scum with just two ingredients.

Heavy-Duty Degreasers

Three strengths, one simple rule: start with the All-Purpose Cleaner & Degreaser for everyday grease, step up to Black (pH 12-13) for engines, equipment, and heavy commercial buildup, and save Industrial (pH 13-14) for extreme jobs that defeat everything else. Each step up in strength calls for more PPE and ventilation.

Specialty Surface Cleaners

Targeted solutions for the two toughest surface jobs: a pH 13-14 Oven & Grill Degreaser that dissolves baked-on carbon from commercial cooking equipment without overnight soaking, and WindMax Pro glass cleaner, an ammonia free formula that leaves mirrors and tinted windows streak free.

Hand & Dish Soaps

Soaps that cut grease but stay gentle with all day use: Orange Power Hand Soap conditions skin with glycerin while handling shop sinks, kitchen wash stations, and office restrooms, and Pure Dish Soap, with a fresh lemon scent, keeps up with busy commercial and home kitchens.

Janitorial & Cleaning Supplies: Frequently Asked Questions

Which MA5X degreaser should I choose?

Start with the All-Purpose Cleaner & Degreaser for everyday grease on counters, stovetops, and equipment exteriors. If buildup survives that, step up to the Heavy-Duty Degreaser Black (pH 12-13) for engines, fleet equipment, and shop floors. Save the Industrial Degreaser (pH 13-14) for extreme jobs like engine rebuilding and years of carbon accumulation. Each step up in strength brings stricter PPE and ventilation requirements, so use the mildest product that gets results.

What's the difference between an all-purpose cleaner and a degreaser?

All-purpose cleaners are formulated for everyday cleaning of multiple surfaces like counters, walls, and floors, removing light soil and maintaining cleanliness. Degreasers use stronger surfactants and higher alkalinity to break down heavy oils, grease, and petroleum soils. Use the Lavender All-Purpose Cleaner for routine maintenance and step up to the MA5X degreaser line for kitchen equipment, garage floors, and machinery.

What's the difference between the Black and Industrial degreasers?

The Black Degreaser is a pH 12-13 alkaline concentrate for heavy commercial degreasing: engine compartments, fleet equipment, concrete shop floors, and hood systems. Use it with gloves, safety glasses, and good ventilation. The Industrial Degreaser is the strongest product in the MA5X lineup at pH 13-14, built for engine rebuilding, metal fabrication, and manufacturing maintenance. It carries the GHS DANGER signal word and requires full PPE plus mechanical ventilation in enclosed spaces. If the Black gets the job done, you don't need the Industrial.

Are commercial-grade cleaners safe to use at home?

Most are, when used as directed. Commercial grade means formulated for effectiveness and efficiency, not higher toxicity. The Lavender All-Purpose Cleaner, 5% Cleaning Vinegar, All-Purpose Cleaner & Degreaser, WindMax glass cleaner, and the hand and dish soaps all suit household use. The stronger products (the Black and Industrial degreasers and the Oven & Grill Degreaser) are available to home users but demand the same PPE, ventilation, and rinsing as commercial use. Always follow label directions and store products away from children and pets.

Can I use the Oven & Grill Degreaser on my home oven?

You can, but understand what you're buying: the Oven & Grill Degreaser is a pH 13-14 commercial formula that dissolves baked-on carbon in 2 to 6 minutes. It is not a typical household oven cleaner, and it requires chemical-resistant gloves, eye and face protection, ventilation, and thorough rinsing. For routine home oven maintenance, the milder All-Purpose Cleaner & Degreaser is usually all you need.

Why is the Oven & Grill Degreaser only sold in 1-gallon and 55-gallon sizes?

It's built for commercial cooking equipment such as ovens, convection ovens, griddles, grills, fryers, broilers, hood filters, and drip trays, where a full gallon is the practical working size. It's ready to use without dilution, and busy kitchens can move up to the 55-gallon drum. There is no 32oz size for this product.

Do I need to rinse surfaces after using MA5X degreasers?

Yes. All of the alkaline degreasers should be rinsed thoroughly with clean water after their contact time. Residue left behind can dull surfaces and, on cooking equipment, contaminate food. On ovens, grills, and any food contact surface, rinse until no residue remains before returning the equipment to service. This applies to the All-Purpose Cleaner & Degreaser on food prep surfaces as well.

What surfaces should I avoid using vinegar-based cleaners on?

Never use the 5% Cleaning Vinegar on natural stone (marble, granite, limestone, travertine), hardwood floors, cast iron, or electronic screens, and avoid prolonged contact with unsealed aluminum. Acetic acid etches natural stone, strips floor finishes, and corrodes reactive metals. Vinegar works excellently on glass, ceramic, sealed tile, chrome, stainless steel, and most bathroom surfaces.

Is the 5% Cleaning Vinegar food-safe?

Yes. The MA5X 5% Cleaning Vinegar contains just two ingredients, filtered water and 5% acetic acid, with no fragrances, dyes, or additives. It's biodegradable and food-safe, so you can clean kitchen counters, food prep surfaces, coffee makers, and kettles without worrying about chemical residue. Wipe or rinse after cleaning for the best finish.

Should I use the Lavender All-Purpose Cleaner or the 5% Cleaning Vinegar?

They solve different soils. The Lavender All-Purpose Cleaner is a scented multi-surface cleaner for daily dirt, grime, and light grease. The 5% Cleaning Vinegar is an unscented acid cleaner for mineral deposits, calcium scale, hard water stains, and soap scum, the jobs alkaline cleaners handle poorly. Many facilities stock both. Just never apply them to the same surface at the same time, since acids and alkaline cleaners neutralize each other.

Is WindMax Pro Glass Cleaner safe on tinted windows?

Yes. WindMax Pro contains no ammonia, which matters because ammonia can degrade window tint films and protective glass coatings over time. It delivers streak-free results on glass, mirrors, and tinted windows, and it's also used on chrome and stainless steel. Spray, then wipe with a clean microfiber or lint free cloth.

What makes Orange Power Hand Soap different from a regular hand soap?

Orange Power Hand Soap combines the strength of a shop soap with glycerin to condition skin, so one product can serve mechanics' sinks, kitchen wash stations, and office restrooms without drying hands under frequent washing. The citrus orange scent replaces the harsh chemical odor typical of industrial hand cleaners.

Can Pure Dish Soap handle commercial kitchen use?

Yes. Pure Dish Soap is a concentrated formula built for manual warewashing, including the wash sink in a commercial three-sink setup, and it stays gentle on hands through a full shift. Like all hand dishwashing liquids, it isn't for automatic dish machines, which need low foam machine detergent. Busy kitchens can order the 55-gallon drum.

Can I mix different cleaning products for better results?

Never mix cleaning products unless the manufacturer specifically directs it. Mixing can create dangerous reactions: bleach and ammonia produce toxic chloramine gas, and bleach and acids create chlorine gas. Within the MA5X line, never combine the alkaline degreasers with the acidic 5% Cleaning Vinegar, since they neutralize each other and can generate heat. Use products separately and rinse between applications.

Are MA5X cleaners also disinfectants?

No. MA5X products are cleaners and degreasers, which remove dirt, grease, and organic soil. Disinfectants are EPA-registered products that kill pathogens. The two work together: always clean first, because soil can shield germs from disinfectants, then apply an EPA-registered disinfectant and allow its required contact time. Cleaning first and disinfecting second is the standard for restrooms, food service, and healthcare settings.

What PPE should I use with MA5X cleaning products?

It scales with product strength. Everyday products like the all-purpose cleaners, vinegar, glass cleaner, and soaps need only sensible care: avoid eye contact and wash hands after use. The Black Degreaser calls for chemical-resistant gloves, safety glasses, and adequate ventilation. The Industrial and Oven & Grill Degreasers (pH 13-14) require full PPE, including chemical-resistant gloves, eye and face protection, protective clothing, and mechanical ventilation in enclosed spaces. Always check the product label and Safety Data Sheet before first use.

How do I determine the right dilution ratio?

Follow the label for each product. More is not better, and overly strong solutions waste product and leave residue. Some MA5X products come ready to use, including the 5% Cleaning Vinegar, WindMax glass cleaner, and Oven & Grill Degreaser, while the concentrated degreasers can be applied direct for heavy buildup or diluted per label for maintenance cleaning. Measure rather than eyeball, and document your standard dilutions so results stay consistent across staff.

How do I choose between concentrated and ready-to-use cleaners?

Choose concentrates for regular, frequent cleaning. They cost less per application, cut plastic waste, and the 1-gallon MA5X degreasers refill spray bottles many times over. Products that come ready to use, like the 5% Cleaning Vinegar and WindMax glass cleaner, are ideal for quick jobs, spot cleaning, and situations where precise mixing isn't practical. Consider your usage frequency, storage space, and whether staff will dilute concentrates correctly.

How should I store janitorial cleaning supplies?

Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from heat and direct sunlight, in original containers with labels intact. Keep incompatible chemistries apart; store the acidic 5% Cleaning Vinegar away from the alkaline degreasers. Use locked storage for strong concentrates in commercial settings, and keep Safety Data Sheets accessible. SDS documents for MA5X products are available on product pages or on request.

Do you offer bulk sizes or wholesale for businesses?

Yes. Most products in this collection come in 32oz and 1-gallon sizes, and the Bulk & Wholesale collection carries 55-gallon drums shipped via LTL freight, with no minimum order, so you can start with a single drum. Every MA5X product is formulated and bottled at our own facility in Coral Springs, Florida, so bulk pricing comes straight from the manufacturer.
