The biodegradable formula is safe to rinse outdoors without environmental concern. Like the smaller format, it can be used in two ways: \u003cstrong\u003ediluted with water\u003c\/strong\u003e (1:10 for general cleaning, stronger for heavy grime) for frame and component washing, or \u003cstrong\u003eused neat in a chain bath\u003c\/strong\u003e for thorough drivetrain degreasing.
