No mess, no fuss bio-based cleaning technology

Steposol Citri-Met from Stepan Company is a revolutionary fully formulated solution consisting of Nobel Prize-winning metathesis chemistry, ecologically responsible citrus terpenes and emulsifiers. Diluted to a solution of 96% water, Steposol Citri-Met promises exceptional cleaning benefits and removes the need for complicated mixing and chemical formulations.

This patent-pending technology has a low VOC of just 0.5% at a 1:14 dilution level. The active ingredients are derived from biobased sources to give it a greener profile. Various dilutions can produce products for the home market which clean glass, carpet and multiple surfaces, and remove stains left by tar and permanent markers. More concentrated solutions produce stronger products for the industrial market.

Effective in various applications

This extraordinary, eco-friendly technological breakthrough is suitable for use in a variety of applications. For example, a carpet or upholstery cleaner requires a 1:14 dilution to create a product ideal for removing dirt, coffee, wine, grass, blood, ink and pet stains.

A 1:32 dilution is suitable to create a kitchen degreaser that is effective on moderately soiled or oil-soiled surfaces such as a stove top.

Steposol Citri-Met is even effective in removing permanent ink or marker stains. A 1:14 dilution is suitable to produce a cleaning product that can remove permanent ink without damaging the coating on the surface.

When using Steposol Citri-Met, Stepan Company recommends starting with a more dilute system and increasing the concentration as needed to achieve the minimum dilution required for cleaning. Some surfaces are more sensitive to high concentrations, such as porous materials, rubber, latex and coated surfaces. Dilutions of 1:14 and greater are safe for most surfaces. Steposol Citri-Met is available locally from Millchem.
