Need a powerful cleaning solution for outdoor, marine and offshore applications? Our DIRRECT Power industrial cleaners are the answer.
DIRRECT Power cleaners are recognized as qualifying direct release products by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Design for the Environment (DfE) program.* These products can be released directly into the environment, including marine environments, without permits or treatment.**
NOTE: Most cleaners marketed with the DfE logo CANNOT be released into the environment. Our DIRRECT Power Cleaners are among a small percentage of products that meet EPA criteria for safe direct release.
