The all-purpose degreaser spray is solvent free, vegan friendly and works to remove stains on fabrics, metals and plastics.
It’s hailed as ‘the only cleaner you’ll ever need’ and can even be used outdoors, and on vehicles too.
It’s formulated to remove grease and oil in all situations and is ideal for removing harsh marks from fabrics and porous materials.
It is tough enough to get rid of oil from a car engine, yet gentle enough to safely remove grease stains from delicate and coloured fabrics.
If using Elbow Grease on fabrics, simply spray the solution directly onto the stain, wash as usual and watch the stains disappear.
