Features & Benefits

Product Highlights
  • Economical because it is super concentrated, Skramex will clean most soils at concentrations of 0.5% or less when used in a power floor scrubber
  • Skramex is formulated specially to remove oils, drawing compounds, carbon residue, and other heavy soils, while not harming concrete (this can be a problem with cheap floor cleaners)
  • Not just a floor cleaner, Skramex works in both power floor scrubbers and mop buckets, and can be used for very heavyduty maintenance cleaning jobs; also effective and economical when used as a cold-soak cleaner for ferrous parts
  • Your floor scrubber or mop bucket will go further and last longer because Skramex has super high concentrations of surfactants, solvents, and alkaline builders to make it last a long time (this saves you time and reduces waste because you can spend more time cleaning and have less dirty water to dispose of)
  • Environmental approvals are simplified because Skramex contains no nitrites, phosphates, barium, phenols, or 2-butoxyethanol (Butyl); this formula has very low V.O.C. content and no SARA 313 reportable ingredients
  • Whether cleaning true grit or light soil from machines, work surfaces, glass, or floors, there's a highlyconcentrated, cost-effective Master STAGES cleaner to get the job done and save hours of maintenance. So, don't just get it clean — get it Master STAGES clean! Master STAGES highly concentrated Whamex™ sump and central system cleaners for interim and full cleanouts extend sump life, are very cost effective, and greatly reduce downtime.
