Guy Martin's Proper Cleaner and Degreaser Ships Without the Water
PRESS RELEASE: Proper Cleaner
70% of the world is covered in water, why ship it?
 | How’s it going? I like to clean my bikes and vehicles, it’s important to look after them, give them a bit of thanks back and anyway it got me thinking, there has to be better way of making this cleaner gear. I use loads of it, and apart from anything it takes up a right load of space in the shed when it’s mixed in bottles! Now then, 70% of the planet is covered in water and there's a massive business in delivering it all over the world, that seems crackers! So, I had a yarn with a few folk about doing something soluble, add your own water whenever you need to. We found a man, who knew a girl, who knew a fella, who found some folks up North, who could make what we needed and after months of testing, it's now in your bottle but with your own water! It uses less fuel to get it to you, the liquid is bio-degradable, it’s not tested on Nigel the dog or his mates and it won’t take up half your shed! It's Proper Cleaner and it's the future! |
General Cleaner:
The General Cleaner is the workhorse of the range. Designed for cleaning your push bike, week in week out. Just fill the bottle with your own water, drop in a complete capsule, give it 30 seconds & a shake and it’s reet.
The liquid is fully biodegradable, alkaline based & it’s not tested on Nigel the Dog or his mates. It’s safe to use on all surfaces, including carbon fibre & anodized parts, nor will it affect the performance of your disc brakes. You get 1.5 litres of cleaner, but because we’re not shipping you 1.5 litres liquid it has a smaller carbon footprint than other cleaners on the market & the technology behind it is trick!

Proper Degreaser
12 months on from the launch of our General Cleaner & 6 months later than planned, Proper Degreaser from Proper Cleaner by Guy Martin is here!
We know you're asking, "What took so long?” Well, making a degreaser in liquid form is reasonably straightforward & there are plenty of chemical companies out there who can make it for you. Send them a sample of one you like, tell them the colour & smell you want and you can have a product quite quickly.
However, it’s not so simple with our water soluble capsules. Not only does it have to clean correctly & not attack your finishes, it must mix evenly in the bottle, have the correct consistency to go through the machine and not dissolve the sachets. On top of that, we made it thicker, or more viscous, than the General Cleaner. This stops it running off the surface as quickly & onto the ground before it had a chance to do its job!
You mix Proper Degreaser in the same way at the General Cleaner. Wet what you want to clean. Spray it onto your chain, cassette, chainring or anything else you need degreased. Give it 3 - 4 min to work, a quick scrub with a brush or chain cleaning machine & rinse off with water. Simple as that!

Starter Pack: £10 for 1.5 litres. (£6.66 per litre)
Refill Pack: £8.50 for 1.5 litres. (£5.66 per litre)

The liquid is 100% biodegradable, vegan friendly and is produced under the Eco Label

Not tested on Nigel the Dog or his mates.
Designed, tested and manufactured in the UK.

If using water soluble technology was easy everyone would be at it, but it isn’t. In fact, over 12 months on from launching our General Cleaner, we are still the only company making Push Bike & Motorcycle cleaner, who are not shipping needless amounts of plastic & water around the world!

I may read his books in his accent too
The best one was TT 2010 when he fireballed into a field at Ballascarey corner (5th gear right hander)
I too only became aware of him through a video of him touring Orange Bikes and then learned through other videos that he was friendly with Peaty and Danny Mac. Then I learned he races the f*cking Isle of Man TT! Anyone to does that is by default a legend. But still I can only understand 50% of what he says whereas with Ratboy I understand about 55%. ????
Check out the film when he raced Pike's Peak on a machine he built in his shed.
I was going to try this until I was send a load of the “overhyped pink cleaner”, including in concentrated form for dilution into their bottles, earlier in the year. When I eventually get through that I will be giving these products a try.
Just kidding brits
second was "but before 3rd beer"
