3 Cleaners Every Auto Shop Should Have on Hand

April 27, 2025

If you work with diesel engines, fleet vehicles, or heavy-duty equipment, your shop sees its fair share of grease, grime, and fuel residue. Whether it’s oil-covered tools, dirty shop floors, or soot-stained hands, messes come with the job—but they don’t have to stick around. Keeping your space and equipment clean isn’t just about appearances—it improves safety, boosts efficiency, and protects your investment.

To keep your workspace in top shape, here are three essential cleaners every shop should keep on hand—each designed to handle the tough stuff without slowing you down.

E-Z Kleen – The Heavy-Duty Degreaser

When it comes to cleaning the real messes—diesel soot, road film, oil buildup, hydraulic fluid—E-Z Kleen is the cleaner that gets it done. This industrial-strength degreaser is made for diesel shops and garages that see daily heavy use. Its concentrated formula cuts through grime on contact and rinses clean, making it ideal for high-traffic areas and dirty equipment.

Use it on shop floors, lift bays, work trucks, trailers, and tools. It’s strong enough to break down grease and oil but safe to use on vehicle exteriors. If you’re dealing with caked-on grime from daily diesel work, E-Z Kleen helps restore your space and equipment back to a professional standard.

Hardy Hands – Heavy-Duty Hand Cleaner

Standard soap isn’t made for the kind of grime you deal with. When you’re pulling injectors, servicing fuel systems, or wrestling with old suspension parts, the grease embeds deep. Hardy Hands is formulated specifically for shops like yours. It uses walnut shell scrubbers and a powerful cleansing formula to break down oil, fuel residue, adhesives, and grime—without harsh chemicals that dry or crack your skin

Perfect for diesel techs, mechanics, and heavy-duty repair work, Hardy Hands is what you reach for when your day ends dirtier than it started.

Hardy Wipes – Quick, Waterless Cleanup for Tools and Hands

Some jobs don’t allow you to stop and wash up. When you're in the middle of a repair, working in the field, or mobile servicing a fleet vehicle, Hardy Wipes give you the ability to clean up fast and get back to work. These industrial-grade wipes are pre-moistened and strong enough to wipe down tools, work surfaces, and even your hands.

They’re a must-have for every bay, toolbox, and service truck. Keep a tub close—you’ll use them more often than you think.
