Zep Commercial 128 oz. Industrial Purple Cleaner & Degreaser Concentrate

A: Yes, Zep Industrial Purple Cleaner & Degreaser Concentrate can be used with a pressure washer, but it must be applied through a downstream chemical injector or a pump sprayer first. Because this formula has an extremely high pH level (13 to 14) and contains sodium hydroxide, running it directly through the internal water pump of your pressure washer will corrode the pump's internal seals and brass components.

A: Hello, thank you for your question. Per the vendor, "Avoid use on metals, such as aluminum, brass, chrome, copper and other alkaline sensitive materials as damage may occur."

A: Yes, Zep Commercial 128 oz. Industrial Purple Cleaner & Degreaser Concentrate contains powerful solvents. The "Purple" degreaser formula is explicitly described as a potent, solvent-based cleaner designed to tackle heavy-duty grease, oil, and tar.

A: Hello, thank you for your question. Per the vendor, "Zep Industrial Purple Degreaser is a concentrated high alkaline degreaser. Use to clean and remove heavy dirt, grease and oil build-up from machinery, engine parts, construction equipment, fiberglass, unfinished concrete, masonry, and asphalt." It can help loosen and lift some oil and grease, but very old or deeply set oil stains may not come out completely with a single application.

A: Hello, thank you for your question. While it is approved for use on unfinished concrete, masonry and asphalt, you should avoid using it on a freshly paved driveway. Fresh asphalt is still curing and can be damaged, stained, or dried out by strong chemicals like this.

A: Hello, thank you for your question. No, this product would not be recommended for that application.

A: No, it will not.
