Most people know WD-40 Multi-Use Product as a lubricant, but it was originally used as an anti-corrosive by the aerospace industry to prevent spacecraft from rusting.

Yes, degreasers can be toxic if inhaled, swallowed, or if they come into contact with your skin. The most common health hazards associated with degreasers are skin, respiratory, gastrointestinal, vomiting, and diarrhea issues.

Most degreasers work on the same chemical principle. One end of the molecule in the cleaning agent has a long hydrophobic chain, which is attracted to oil and grease and a hydrophilic end, which is attracted to water. The hydrophobic molecules surround the oil particles and dislodge it from water.

The objective for a degreaser is to remove the offending soil quickly, avoiding as much wiping and scrubbing as possible. Degreasing solvents are commonly packaged as an aerosol for convenience. Aerosols have the added advantage of providing a forceful spray that creates agitation and which penetrate small crevices.
