Introduction

CITROSQUEEZE® is specially formulated from biodegrade able, environmentally safe ingredients to remove harmful and stubborn hydrocarbons resulting from fires and chemical spills. Unlike other manufacturers, our product CITROSQUEEZE® is a one stop shop for cleaning gear except for dried on tar. We at Toro Sales Inc. realize there are hundreds of cleaners in the market place today. Some are very acidic or very alkaline, but do they do not have the approvals that CITROSQUEEZE® has. Some cleaners are powders which may get caught in between the weave. In time some of these undissolved powders can get caught between the weave of the shell, therefore making the gear less waterproof. CITROSQUEEZE® has no powder in its formula and it is only a pH of 8.5. From our testimonials, the user states that after cleaning the gear, it smells so nice. This is because of the natural ingredients that are part of the formulation.

CITROSQUEEZE® will clean diesel contaminated clothing. In order to get the diesel off, the gear should be soaked for up to 1 hour. It should be soaked in a container, such as a plastic garbage container or 55 gallon plastic drum. The dilution rate should be 1 part Citrosqueeze and 8 or 10 parts water. One gallon of Citrosqueeze to 8 or 10 gallons of water. Once the gear has been cleaned, wring the gear over the container, put the gear in the washer extractor, do not put additional CITROSQUEEZE® into the washer as there is enough left on the gear.

CITROSQUEEZE® will clean fresh tar and fresh paint from turnout gear and will also clean all clothing contaminated with hydrocarbons.

Toro CITROSQUEEZE® Turnout gear cleaner is specially formulated from biodegradable, environmentally safe ingredients to remove harmful and stubborn residue resulting from fires and chemical spills.

Reasons to clean our gear:

• Soiled turnout gear reflects less radiant heat.
• Hydrocarbon saturated gear tends to absorb rather than reflect heat from the surrounding fire.
• Heavy contaminated gear is more likely to conduct electricity, endangering personnel near live wires
• Gear impregnated with oil, grease, soot and smoke CAN IGNITE! Severe burns can result, even if your gear is flame resistant.
• Consistent cleaning with Citrosqueeze may increase the life of the gear up to 14 months.
• When using Citrosqueeze you do not have to have other cleaners as some companies suggest, Citrosqueeze will take off all the soils except where you have dried on tar. In order to get dried on tar off, because it is a petroleum product, you would have to use a petroleum based product like mineral spirits.
