SC Johnson Professional Kresto Cherry mechanics hand cleaner — 1 Gallon Pump Bottle, solvent-based with walnut-shell scrub

SC Johnson Professional Kresto Cherry is a solvent-based super heavy duty hand cleaner formulated to remove ingrained oil, grease, carbon and lubricants while leaving a light cherry scent.

Built for industrial and workshop environments, this 1-gallon pump bottle contains a concentrated mechanics hand cleaner that blends aggressive cleaning actives with a walnut-shell scrubbing agent. Its mixed micellar cleaning system lifts and dissolves a wide range of oil-based soils and residues while remaining silicone-free to reduce coating compatibility concerns. The product is intended for professional use where deep, efficient degreasing of hands is required without harsh lingering odors.

How does Kresto Cherry remove heavy grease and ingrained soils?

The formula combines solvent cleaning power with surfactants that form mixed micelles to penetrate, solubilize and lift tough contaminants from skin. Abrasive Astopon particles made from walnut shell powder provide mechanical scrubbing to dislodge stubborn residues, and Eucornol emulsifiers help suspend oils for rinsing away.

• Solvent-based actives break down oil and lubricants.
• Mixed micellar system enhances oil and water compatibility.
• Walnut-shell scrubbing agent adds controlled mechanical abrasion.
• Eucornol emulsifiers keep soils suspended for easy rinse-off.

Will it affect paint or surface-coating work nearby?

Kresto Cherry is formulated without silicones, lowering the chance of silicone transfer that can cause coating defects. The product is designed for hand cleaning prior to tasks that involve painting or finishing, but standard precautions—avoiding direct contact with prepared surfaces—should still be observed.

• Silicone-free formulation to reduce contamination risks.
• Low residual film when used as directed.
• Use pumps or dispensers to control application and limit overspray.
• Rinse hands thoroughly before handling sensitive surfaces.

How does the cherry fragrance and rinseability impact daily use?

The light cherry fragrance helps neutralize odors commonly associated with heavy soiling, improving user comfort during repeated cleaning throughout a shift. Astopon walnut-shell particles rinse away easily, helping to minimize blocked drains and allowing quick transition between jobs.

• Pleasant cherry scent masks lingering mechanical odors.
• Scrubbing particles are water-rinsable to avoid pipe buildup.
• High user acceptance for routine, frequent cleaning.
• Concentrated pack reduces frequency of refills on busy sites.

How is the 1-gallon pump bottle best used and stored in professional settings?

The pump dispenser enables controlled doses to limit waste and cross-contamination in workshops, garages or manufacturing floors. Store in a cool, ventilated area out of direct sunlight and follow workplace handling guidelines for solvent-based cleaners.

• Use the pump to deliver measured amounts per use.
• Keep container sealed and upright to prevent spills.
• Store away from heat sources and ignition points.
• Label and position near workstations for quick access.

Who is this for: SC Johnson Professional Kresto Cherry is intended for mechanics, technicians, industrial workers and facilities that need a heavy-duty cleaning solution for heavily soiled hands. It suits maintenance shops, automotive bays, manufacturing lines and any professional environment where efficient removal of oil, grease, carbon black and lubricants is essential without introducing silicone contamination.
