Description
Every sealer page on this site starts with the same sentence: clean the slab first. This is the product that does it. Bone Dry Degreaser — the Low Foaming Bruiser — is a powerful, low-VOC, fast-acting concentrate built for tough industrial cleaning: a water-based blend of buffered alkali, cleaning solvents, and detergents that cuts grease, oil, tar, rubber marks, and carbonized soils, from engine bays and parts washers to the oil-stained slab you’re about to seal.

One concentrate, four strengths
Match the mix to the mess: 1:16 for light soil (spray and wipe), 1:8 for medium soil (auto-scrubber or pressure washer), 1:4 for heavy soil (mop and bucket), and 1:2 for carbonized buildup — the tough stuff. Dilution is product to water; the concentrate covers 400 sq ft per gallon.
One concentrate, four strengths
Degreaser ships concentrated and dilutes to the job — the same jug handles a light wipe-down at 1:16 and carbonized buildup at 1:2. It’s universal in application: pressure washing, industrial cleaning, automatic scrubbers, spray systems, and anywhere low foam is required.
| The job | Dilution (product : water) |
|---|---|
| Light soil — spray & wipe | 1:16 |
| Medium soil — auto-scrubber, pressure washing | 1:8 |
| Heavy soil — mop & bucket | 1:4 |
| Carbonized soils | 1:2 |
What it does
| Function | What it means on the floor |
|---|---|
| CUTS | Grease, oil, tar, rubber marks — loosens and removes carbonized soils |
| PENETRATES | Works into heavy buildups instead of sliding over them |
| BEHAVES | Low-foaming — safe in auto-scrubbers, spray systems, and pressure washers |
| PROTECTS | Inhibitors prevent flash rusting on cleaned metal surfaces |
| CLEAN | Low-VOC, water-based chemistry |
The lineup it retires

What it cuts
Grease, oil, tar, rubber marks, and carbonized buildup — five regulars of the shop floor, one jug.
Grease from the shop, oil from the drip pan, tar tracked off the lot, rubber laid down by forklift tires, and the carbonized soils that laugh at ordinary cleaners — the Bruiser is formulated for exactly this rotation. It’s ideal for engine degreasing, parts washing, spray-and-wipe cleaning, and hardened soil removal.

Flash rust: the difference inhibitors make
After cleaning with an ordinary degreaser, flash rust can bloom on bare metal within hours. Bone Dry Concrete Degreaser carries rust inhibitors in the rinse, so cleaned metal stays clean metal.
Aggressive cleaning has a known side effect on bare steel: flash rust blooming within hours of the rinse. Degreaser carries rust inhibitors in the formula, so cleaned metal stays clean metal — a real difference for parts washing and equipment that goes back into service the same day.
Where it fits before sealing
| Your situation | Use |
|---|---|
| Oil- or grease-stained slab before sealing or coating | Bone Dry Degreaser first — then your sealer |
| Repairs over Corrosion Stop–treated concrete | After the 24-hour absorption, Degreaser removes the surface residue |
| Burnished or hard-troweled concrete, no oil | That’s a porosity problem — Etch-A-Crete opens the pores |
| Everyday shop, engine, and parts cleaning | Degreaser at the dilution for the job |
Application
Tap to enlarge
Application: four moves
- Apply — spray, brush, or sponge.
- Penetrate — let it work into the soil.
- Scrub — pad, brush, or machine.
- Wipe dry — done; surface clean.
Don’t let it dry on glass, and rinse food-contact areas after use.
Good to know: apply with whatever the job calls for — scrubbing pad, auto-scrubber, mop and bucket, pressure washer, pump sprayer, or plain manual tools. Give it a moment to penetrate the soil before you scrub, then wipe the surface dry. Two cautions from the label: don’t let the product dry on glass (the surface may etch), and rinse food-contact areas with water after use.

FAQ
How long should the concrete degreaser sit on the surface?
1-3 minutes. 3-5 minutes for harder soils.
How do I dilute Bone Dry Concrete Degreaser?
Match the mix to the mess, product to water: 1:16 for light soil (spray and wipe), 1:8 for medium soil (auto-scrubber or pressure washer), 1:4 for heavy soil (mop and bucket), and 1:2 for carbonized buildup.
How much does the Degreaser cover?
The concentrate covers about 400 square feet per gallon. It ships in 1-gallon jugs, 5-gallon pails, and 55-gallon drums.
Do I need to degrease concrete before sealing it?
Yes, if there is any oil, grease, tar, or rubber on it. A penetrating sealer can only treat concrete it can enter, so the slab has to be clean and porous. Degrease first, then seal.
Can I use it in a pressure washer or an auto-scrubber?
Yes. Bone Dry Concrete Degreaser is low-foaming, so it is safe in auto-scrubbers, spray systems, and pressure washers, as well as with a mop and bucket, a pump sprayer, or hand tools.
Will it cause flash rust on metal?
No. The formula carries rust inhibitors, so cleaned metal stays clean metal instead of blooming with flash rust within hours of the rinse.
Are there any cautions?
Do not let it dry on glass, which may etch, and rinse food-contact areas with water after use. It is a pH 13 to 14 alkaline concentrate. Store above freezing and below 90 degrees F; shelf life is 2 years.
Can Degreaser remove Corrosion Stop residue before a repair?
Yes. If concrete repairs are planned over Corrosion Stop-treated areas, allow 24 hours of absorption, then remove the surface residue with Bone Dry Concrete Degreaser before patching.
