Chapter 1: The Battle Against Grease and Stubborn Oil
The number one enemy in every workshop. Grease, waste oil, sludge and coolants settle on floors, workbenches, machinery and tools, creating slippery and difficult to clean surfaces. A simple detergent is not enough: you need targeted chemical power. Let's see professional solutions for every level of dirt.
Daily Use Argonit Degreaser with Sanitizer
The perfect ally for everyday cleaning. Its powerful yet versatile formula is ideal for workbenches, tool trolleys, small oil stains and general equipment cleaning. The extra benefit? Its sanitizing action, essential for keeping surfaces and tools shared between multiple operators clean, reducing contamination.
- ✓ Ideal for washable surfaces, equipment, countertops.
- ✓ Effectively removes grease, oil and fresh dirt.
- ✓ Sanitizing action for extra safety.

Maximum Efficiency DH102 Non-Rinse Multipurpose Degreaser
When speed is everything, DH102 is the answer. This multipurpose degreaser has been formulated to attack dirt without requiring a subsequent rinse. Perfect for quick cleaning of workshop floors at the end of the day, especially if you use a washer-dryer. It is sprayed, it is passed and that's it. An incredible time and water savings.

Extreme Power Argonit P 2000 Biphasic
For impossible challenges. Argonit P 2000 is a biphasic supergreasy detergent, which means that it combines two very powerful chemical components that are activated when mixed. It is the ultimate weapon against old, cement-penetrated oil stains, charred grease on engine parts and heavy industrial dirt. Its cleaning power is unparalleled.
- ✓ Impact action on layered and charred dirt.
- ✓ Ideal for deep cleaning of floors and heavy machinery.
- ✓ Effective for washing truck tarpaulins and mechanical parts.
- ✓ Maximum power for critical situations.
Practical Tip: How to Make the Best Use of Degreasers
1. Preparation: Remove coarse-grained dirt (chips, dust) first with a broom or vacuum. This allows the chemical to act directly on the stain.
2. Dilution: Always follow the instructions. A product that is too concentrated may be aggressive, a product that is too diluted will not be effective. For the Argonit P 2000, shake the tank well before use to mix the two phases.
3. Application and Waiting: Apply the product to the surface and let it act for a few minutes. This time is crucial for the active ingredients to dissolve the bond between the dirt and the surface. Never let it dry!
4. Mechanical Action and Removal: For stubborn dirt, use a stiff bristle brush or pressure washer. For floors, a single-brush or scrubber dryer is ideal. Finally, rinse thoroughly (except for the DH102) and dry.
Chapter 2: Total Aspiration, Zero Compromise for Solids and Liquids
Metal chips, fine dust, processing fragments, and inevitable spills of liquids (water, oil, coolant). A household vacuum would get clogged and damaged in a matter of minutes. You need machines created for industry: powerful, capacious and able to handle solids and liquids at the same time without blinking an eye. Let's see three samples compared.

'A floor free of chips and liquids is not only a matter of cleaning, but a fundamental pillar of safety at work. '
Tips for Professional Aspiration
- Correct filters: Make sure you use the right filter for each application. For fine dust, use specific filters so as not to damage the motor. When vacuuming liquids, remove the paper/fabric filter to avoid damaging it.
- Regular emptying: Do not wait until the barrel is completely full. Emptying it regularly ensures constant suction power and prevents the motor from overheating.
- Right Accessories: Use the flat lance for nooks and crannies, the floor brush for large areas, and the liquid nozzle to collect spills efficiently. Take advantage of the supplied accessory kit.
- Machine Cleaning: After use, especially after vacuuming liquids or oily substances, clean the drum and tubes. This prevents the formation of bad odors and the proliferation of bacteria.
Chapter 3: Drying and Finishing, the Master's Touch
After degreasing and vacuuming, the last step is drying and precision cleaning. Using dirty rags or low-quality paper defeats all the work, leaving streaks, residues and lint. Industrial paper rolls are the ultimate solution for absorbency, strength and hygiene.

Chapter 4: The Winning Synergy, an Integrated Cleaning Plan
Individual products are powerful, but their true strength emerges when used in a coordinated system. Here is an example of a cleaning plan for a mechanical workshop that exploits the synergy between these tools.
Objective: To maintain order and security, to prevent accumulation.
- End of Round: Each operator cleans their workstation. Use Argonit Degreaser spray on the benches and Basyroll reels to remove fresh dirt.
- Common Areas: A quick pass with the aspirator Artos 1200 W in high-pass areas to remove chips and dust.
- Small spills: Immediately intervene on small liquid stains with Strong Lucart Bobine for their high absorbency.
Objective: Thorough cleaning and sanitization.
- Floors: Pre-treat stubborn stains with Argonit P 2000. After that, wash the entire surface with DH102 Without Rinse and a washer-dryer or single-brush.
- Full Aspiration: Use the Waterking XL Or theHP 703 WD for deep vacuuming of the entire workshop, including corners, under benches and around heavy machinery.
- Machinery: Detailed cleaning of the machinery with Argonit Degreaser and cloths or paper rolls.
Objective: To secure the area in the shortest possible time.
- Liquid Spill: Circumscribe the area. Use the most suitable vacuum cleaner (Waterking XL or HP 703 WD) to remove the bulk of the liquid.
- Residue Absorption: Sprinkle the area with sawdust or specific absorbers and then vacuum again.
- Finish: Clean the halo with Argonit Degreaser or DH102 and dry perfectly with Strong Lucart Bobine to eliminate any risk of slipping.
