Industrial chemicals often damage stoves, ducts, and hoods during cleanup. They contain acidic compounds that corrode metals. In addition, certain components of industrial chemicals such as terrenes, glycol ether, and petroleum distillates leave a bad odor and may be flammable, increasing the risk of fire. In addition, many industrial cleaning chemicals leave toxic residues around the areas where food is prepared, which can contaminate the food.

To counter the threats posed by regular industrial degreasing products, many commercial kitchens have switched to safer, non-combustible green cleaning products. These products are designed to handle industrial degreasing applications, but have zero toxicity levels because they are derived entirely from plants. Because they leave no corrosive residues, cleaning the stove after applying these green cleaning products is safer. In addition, the frequency of cleaning is reduced because these formulations discourage re-deposition of dirt. They also remove unpleasant food odors and dark hydrocarbon deposits.

Eco green chemicals can be used with kitchen cleaning equipment such as steam cleaners and pressure washers. Steam cleaning stoves is particularly effective because heat melts grease. These chemicals provide additional cleaning power, ensuring that no grease is left behind on the surface.

These eco green chemicals can also be used in food storage and processing plants, the automobile industry, schools, and other businesses requiring industrial degreasing power without the negative side effects of toxic chemicals.
