One bottle becomes two. The Muc-Off Nano Tech Bike Cleaner Concentrate dilutes at a 1:3 ratio — 250ml of concentrate plus 750ml of water fills a standard one-liter spray bottle with ready-to-use cleaner. This 500ml bottle yields two full refills, which means you're shipping water weight only once (from your tap) instead of paying to have it trucked across the country. The concentrate uses 89% less packaging than buying the equivalent volume of pre-mixed cleaner, so your storage footprint shrinks and you're generating less plastic waste over time.

The formula itself is the same Nano Tech cleaner that's been a shop staple for years. The alkaline-based surfactants break down mud, road grime, and chain splatter at the molecular level without relying on acids or harsh solvents that can damage delicate finishes over time. Fully biodegradable and free from CFCs, the cleaner rinses away without environmental guilt — though you'll still want to dispose of wash water responsibly rather than dumping it directly into storm drains where it can reach waterways.

Application follows the standard pre-rinse, spray, dwell, agitate, rinse sequence. Knock the heavy mud off first with plain water, then apply the diluted cleaner and let it sit for three to five minutes while the surfactants do their work. Don't let it dry on the frame or apply in direct sunlight — the active ingredients need to stay wet while they break down contaminants. Agitate stubborn spots with a brush or sponge, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. The formula won't harm disc brake rotors or pads, carbon fiber, anodized finishes, rubber seals, decals, or matte paint, so you can spray the entire bike without masking off sensitive areas....
