Aircraft Cleaning Applications

Simple Green Extreme Dilution Guide

Simple Green Extreme is a concentrate. The correct dilution depends on the cleaning application and soil level. The manufacturer recommends using softened, distilled or demineralized water whenever possible.

Important: The manufacturer identifies 1:13 as the maximum dilution for non-corrosion to metals under the referenced test. Do not assume that a more dilute mixture provides greater corrosion protection. Follow the product label and current manufacturer instructions for the specific application.

Aircraft Material Compatibility & Testing

Simple Green Extreme Aircraft & Precision Cleaner has been tested against several aviation cleaning and material-compatibility requirements. The manufacturer's technical documentation identifies the following testing:

Testing clarification: The manufacturer states that the testing was performed by Scientific Materials International, Inc. The test results do not mean that Boeing endorses or approves Simple Green Extreme Aircraft & Precision Cleaner.

Recommended Uses by Cleaning Method

Aircraft Cleaning Precautions

• Do not allow the cleaner to dry on the surface.
• Spot-test unfamiliar or non-factory-finished surfaces first.
• Use the appropriate dilution for the cleaning application. Stronger is not automatically better for aircraft cleaning.
• Use softened, distilled or demineralized water when possible when diluting the concentrate.
• Do not clean over asphalt.
• Follow aircraft and component maintenance procedures for sensitive components, openings, electrical equipment, bearings and other areas where cleaning fluids may cause damage.
• Rinse appropriately after cleaning and follow the product label and applicable maintenance procedure.

For complete application and safety instructions, refer to the current product label, technical data sheet and SDS before use.

Product Information

Simple Green Extreme Aircraft Cleaner FAQ

What is Simple Green Extreme Aircraft Cleaner used for?

Simple Green Extreme Aircraft & Precision Cleaner is used to remove grease, oil, dirt, grime, insect residue, pollution and other soils from aircraft, engines, parts and maintenance equipment. It can also be used for routine aircraft washing and precision cleaning when properly diluted.

Is Simple Green Extreme safe for aircraft?

The product has undergone aviation-related corrosion, paint, acrylic crazing, hydrogen embrittlement and other testing at specified concentrations. However, aircraft surfaces and components vary, so the applicable aircraft maintenance procedure and product dilution instructions should always be followed. The manufacturer also recommends spot testing surfaces other than factory-finished aircraft surfaces.

What dilution should I use for washing an aircraft?

For general aircraft hand washing, the manufacturer's current technical information identifies a 1:13 cleaner-to-water dilution. For pressure washing, 1:30 is recommended for heavily soiled aircraft and 1:50 for light soils.

Can Simple Green Extreme be used as an aircraft degreaser?

Yes. At stronger concentrations, the manufacturer recommends the product for parts washing, engine cleaning and heavily soiled areas. A 1:3 dilution is identified for heavy cleaning applications. Always follow the applicable aircraft maintenance procedure and product instructions.

What aviation specifications has Simple Green Extreme been tested against?

The manufacturer identifies testing to Boeing D6-17487 Rev. P, ASTM F945, ARP 1755B, AMS 1550B and AMS 1630C at specified concentrations. These are test results, not a blanket statement that the product is approved for every aircraft or every application covered by those standards.

Can Simple Green Extreme be used on aircraft paint?

The product has undergone paint-softening testing as part of Boeing D6-17487 Rev. P testing. However, the aircraft manufacturer's cleaning procedure and the aircraft finish manufacturer's requirements should be followed. Do not allow the cleaner to dry on the surface, and spot-test unfamiliar surfaces before widespread use.

Is Simple Green Extreme a concentrate?

The gallon and 5-gallon versions are concentrated formulations that are diluted with water according to the intended application. BAC also offers a 32 oz ready-to-use spray version.

What is the shelf life of Simple Green Extreme Aircraft Cleaner?

BAC currently lists a five-year shelf life. For exact shelf-life requirements, storage conditions and lot-specific information, refer to the current product label and manufacturer documentation.
