Zep ZU0567128 is a gallon-sized, industrial-grade alkaline cleaner that uses sodium hydroxide to penetrate polymerized oils. It is highly effective for degreasing concrete, porcelain, and heavy machinery, and its concentrated form allows for significant dilution—one gallon can create up to ten gallons of usable cleaner. This makes it a cost-effective choice for those with large cleaning projects or multiple surfaces to maintain over time.
The high pH level of this product (ranging from 12.0 to 13.0) means it can be corrosive to soft metals like aluminum and may degrade natural stone seals if not used carefully. For residential surfaces, starting with a 1:5 dilution is a recommended practical reality to avoid "clouding" on appliance trim. It also has a strong vapor profile, so active ventilation is necessary when using it in indoor areas like kitchens or basements.
If you prefer a product that comes in a ready-to-use spray format with similar grease-cutting power, the Krud Kutter Original Spray is a versatile choice.
