Muc off degreaser
- Thread starter taff63
- Start date
I have used it on mountain and road bikes, and the dirt just shifted after a quick squirt with the stuff, then a hose down. I also used it on the inside of a car wheel which was contaminated by grease from a split CV boot, and that came up really clean.

I use muc off on my bike chain and cassette. Spray it on, leave for a couple of minutes, rinse under the tap and then wipe dry with some kitchen roll is all it takes to remove standard grease and grime.

No, no, no.
Don't buy Muc Off. It's a rip off. Yes it works but at a price.
What you want is this stuff:-
http://www.screwfix.com/p/swarfega-oil-grease-remover-5ltr/20817
5 Litres dilutes at 50:1. That's 250 litres for less than £10. Do the maths. Works just as well as Muc Off. I've still got half a container left and that's after using it regularly for a couple of years. If you were any nearer NW you could have it.

Waste of money, Gallon of paraffin or even diesel is pretty much the same thing.

MucOff doesn't leave any oily residue (or smell!). I use it on my motorbike, but I wouldn't put diesel or paraffin anywhere near my bike. If you get either of those on the discs or brake pads you'd be screwed.

Ah yes good point sorry should have said ...Clean oil off discs with a rag afterwards even wash them in detergent.
But also, (For modern ish motorbikes, don't know about push bikes) ...even if you forgot, those discs and brakes are designed to work just fine whilst getting covered in oil and dirt, like London roads for instance.... Id imagine they could mostly still cope even being completely immersed in oil.
But yes clean it off.

and this for general cleaning.

mix it at 120 grammes to a litre of water and funnily enough it looks and smells just like Muc off, shifts dead bugs, road grime and its also good around the house.
