Frequently Asked Questions
Will Simple Green remove old oil stains from my concrete driveway?
Yes. This is one of its best-known uses. Apply full-strength to the oil stain, let it sit for five to ten minutes, scrub with a stiff brush, and rinse with a hose. For very old or set-in stains, repeat the process. Simple Green is the same degreaser trusted in commercial garages for this exact task.
Can I use it to clean my gas grill grates and exterior?
Yes. The full-strength formula is ideal for cutting through baked-on BBQ grease on grates, burner covers, and the grill exterior. Use it on cool grates, scrub, and rinse thoroughly before the next cook. Do not use it on aluminum unless you rinse promptly, as with any alkaline cleaner.
Is it safe to use on outdoor patio furniture cushions?
Simple Green works on most outdoor fabric, including patio cushions and umbrella canopies. Test for colorfastness in a hidden area first, then dilute and apply with a soft brush. Rinse with a garden hose and let air dry.
Can I take a small bottle of diluted Simple Green camping?
Absolutely. Many campers decant a small amount into a travel spray bottle for picnic tables, coolers, camp stoves, and tent footprints. The biodegradable formula is a responsible choice for outdoor settings where you do not want harsh chemicals near streams or campsites.
Will it damage my car's clear coat or paint?
At the recommended dilution, Simple Green is safe for automotive paint and clear coat. Many detailers use it as a pre-wash to strip road grime. For the body of the car, dilute well. For wheels, undercarriage, and engine bay, you can use it stronger.
Can I use this on my RV or camper exterior?
Yes. Simple Green handles the bugs, road film, and oxidation that build up on RV and camper exteriors. Use it diluted in a foam cannon or spray bottle, let it dwell briefly, and rinse thoroughly. It is safe on fiberglass, painted surfaces, and most RV exteriors.
Will the scent bother neighbors at an outdoor dinner?
The lemon and original scents are mild and dissipate quickly in open air. If you are cleaning right before a gathering, the lemon scent is the most neutral and unobjectionable. You can also rinse surfaces with water after cleaning to remove any lingering fragrance.
Is Simple Green better than a dedicated concrete degreaser like Goof Off or CLR?
For general concrete cleaning, Simple Green is more versatile and less toxic than Goof Off or CLR. CLR is designed for mineral deposits like rust and hard water stains, and Goof Off is a stronger solvent better suited to adhesives. Simple Green is the better choice for grease, oil, and general grime on concrete.
How does Simple Green compare to dish soap for outdoor cleaning tasks?
Dish soap is a fair degreaser on a warm day for light jobs, but it does not hold up against baked-on BBQ grease, automotive oil, or heavy patio grime. Simple Green is formulated for those heavy outdoor jobs, which is why mechanics and shop owners trust it as a daily workhorse.
Is it safe to use Simple Green on a composite deck?
Yes, with dilution. Composite decking responds well to Simple Green at the recommended dilution for outdoor surfaces. Always rinse thoroughly, and avoid letting the cleaner dry on the surface. For best results, work in the shade on a cool day so the cleaner does not evaporate before you rinse.
I am worried about the cleaner harming my lawn or plants. Is it plant-safe?
Simple Green is biodegradable and not classified as a herbicide, but any cleaning product should not be applied directly to plant foliage. When rinsing concrete or outdoor surfaces, direct the runoff toward gravel or pavement rather than garden beds. For any runoff that does reach grass, dilute with plenty of water.
Will the lavender scent attract bees to my patio?
Lavender is known to attract pollinators, but the residual scent on a cleaned surface is minimal and short-lived. If you are cleaning right before outdoor dining and are concerned, choose the Lemon or Original scent, which do not have the same pollinator associations.
How do I dilute Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner for daily use?
For a standard 32 oz spray bottle, add one to two tablespoons of concentrate and fill with water for routine kitchen, bathroom, and surface cleaning. For heavy grease, oven interiors, or automotive degreasing, use it full-strength. The bottle label includes a full dilution chart for floors, carpet spot treatment, and pressure washers.
Can I use Simple Green in a floor mop bucket?
Yes. Add one to two ounces of concentrate per gallon of water for routine mopping of tile, sealed hardwood, vinyl, and laminate. The dilution is gentle enough for daily use but strong enough to cut through tracked-in dirt and grease. Avoid using it on unsealed wood, and rinse the mop thoroughly after use.
How do I remove a tough oil stain from concrete with this product?
Apply Simple Green full-strength directly to the oil stain and let it penetrate for five to ten minutes. Scrub with a stiff-bristle brush in a circular motion, then rinse with clean water from a hose. For very old or set-in stains, repeat the process and consider covering the area with a soaked rag for 30 minutes before scrubbing.
Is Simple Green compatible with pressure washers?
Yes. Simple Green works with most consumer and commercial pressure washers. Use the manufacturer's siphon tube or detergent reservoir, and apply at full strength to the surface, let it dwell for a few minutes, then rinse at full pressure. It is excellent for siding, decks, driveways, and outdoor furniture.
Can I use this cleaner on carpet and upholstery?
Yes. Dilute at roughly one part concentrate to ten parts water, apply to the stained area, and blot with a clean cloth. Work from the outside of the stain toward the center to avoid spreading it. For pet accidents, the biodegradable formula and Safer Choice certification make it a popular choice over harsher chemical spot removers.
What is in the box when I order the 64 oz concentrate?
You receive one 64 fluid ounce bottle of Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner Concentrate in your selected scent. The bottle has a screw cap and is ready to use. A spray bottle is not included with the concentrate but is available separately as a Simple Green branded refill, or you can decant into your own spray bottles.
Is Simple Green safe to use on stainless steel appliances?
Yes, at the recommended dilution. Spray, wipe in the direction of the grain, and buff with a dry microfiber cloth for a streak-free finish. For stuck-on grease or fingerprints, let the diluted solution sit for 30 seconds before wiping.
Will Simple Green damage any surface I should know about?
Avoid using it on unsealed stone such as limestone, marble, or travertine, on unfinished or waxed wood, and on electrical components. It is also not recommended for use on aluminum in concentrated form without a quick rinse, as with most alkaline cleaners. For all other washable surfaces, it is safe at the recommended dilution.
What is the difference between an all-purpose cleaner and a degreaser?
An all-purpose cleaner is formulated to handle light to moderate dirt on most washable surfaces, typically used diluted for daily tasks. A degreaser is engineered to break down fats, oils, and grease, and is often used at full strength for tougher jobs. Simple Green is unique in that it functions as both: dilute it for daily all-purpose cleaning, and use it full-strength as a serious degreaser in the kitchen, garage, or shop.
